This time of year is so fun to decorate for. Whether you’re decorating with pumpkins, bats, skeletons, ghosts or goblins, there are so many options and ways to do it. I decided I wanted to do something with orange and purple, so I came up with this Pumpkin & Bat Halloween Banner. This is a project that I shared on the Darice blog last year.

Place some hot glue on your black circle, and glue your accordion folded paper down onto it.
Use your Cricut Explore (or cut by hand) to cut out face pieces to attach to the front of the pumpkin.
Using the Cricut Explore, cut out some small bats. Distress them using the sand-it gadget.

Add a piece of green ribbon to the back of the pumpkin faces, then place dimensional adhesive on the back of your pieces.
