Cricut Tutorial: Witches Coven Inspired Halloween Pumpkin
It's pumpkin season! As much as I love carving a pumpkin, I am always sad when all too quickly I am having to chuck it away.
Luckily, there is a solution... Ceramic pumpkins! Bring out your collection of personalised pumpkins every year to get into the spooky spirit!
I decorated my first ceramic pumpkin last year which was a lovely pastel ghost pumpkin which you can see the tutorial for here.
Now as a bit of a tradition, I would like to make a new ceramic pumpkin every year!
This year I went for a witch theme and used my Cricut Machine to help decorate, selecting images from the many thousands of Halloween and witch images available on Cricut Design Space.

StandardGrip Cutting Mat (If not using Smart vinyl)

Font used - American Horror Story fans may be quick to recognise the font on my pumpkin! I downloaded the font to my desktop and then access this on Design Space by going to Font - System Fonts. I downloaded it here.
Happy pumpkin decorating. Our forever pumpkins can be on display every year throughout October plus they are fun to make too!
