How To Make a Halloween Banner-Free Download

carinagardner_halloweenbanner1There have been spooky things happening at my house recently: Crows cawing, moss creeping, and mice scurrying along the old piano. It’s just enough to make you want to shout, “Happy Halloween!”

The spookiness has been so much fun that I made this banner using the Haunted™ Line. The instructions and pattern are below for you to download.

Another sweet creepy but easy Halloween project is just to tie pieces of Haunted™ paper with twine to dried branches. It’s cheap, easy, and chic all at once. Who knew Halloween could be chic?

Be sure and download the Halloween Banner tutorial below (all you will need is one pack of Haunted™, hot glue, black tissue paper, black ribbon, and black construction paper…it’s a whole lot of black:). I also have Illustrator files for those of you with a cutting machine. See below to download.

So what will I be working on next? My daughters have decided to be Sailor Moon (yes both of them) and I will be recreating a pair of red, white and blue outfits (hmmm, sounds patriotic). Let’s hope (for my sake) they don’t change their minds.

    Hmm, that’s odd that you are having trouble downloading it. I just checked them and they are working fine. Maybe try again?

    I downloaded the files. Thanks. So cute but I was wondering about the Illustrator files. I do not have Adobe Illustrator so I don’t know if I can open those files or not. Will they open okay in PSE or are they just for Illustrator? Thanks.

    [...] Ruby is keeping me on my toes these days and getting more fun everyday. Von has been working in Plano the last couple weeks much to our dismay, but hopefully it won’t last forever. We are really enjoying our time her and getting into the swing of things. It is cooling down, but it’s supposed to be in the 80′s for the rest of the week. The fall weather has not quite hit yet, but pumpkins sit upon doorsteps throughout the neighborhood convincing it is actually October. I did make a banner and decorate the mantle I found the tutorial here. [...]
