Your Cricut Explore Halloween
Use the Cricut Explore and the associated internet based Design Space software to create some fun decorations for Halloween. This project makes a tantalising sign measuring 9 inch x 18 inch. It is made up of six layers to give strength and rigidity. Alternatively, it could be cut from thick grey board and painted; the deep cut blade and housing unit would be required for the Explore.
