Easy Halloween Cupcake Toppers & Wrappers

Lately I’ve heard quite a few people say that Halloween is there absolute favorite holiday.  So I figured this week I’d give you a ton of Halloween goodness, be sure to stay tuned over the next couple of days for some cute Halloween party decor ideas.  Today I’m starting with these Easy Halloween Cupcake Toppers & Wrappers.

Supplies:

–  gold glitter cardstock
–  black cardstock
–  toothpicks
–  glue stick
–  glue gun
–  Cricut Explore cutting machine
–  Cricut cutting mat

This project took about 10 minutes to design, and about 30 minutes to cut (lots of smaller details with those cute webs so it takes a little more time).  This is such an easy way to create party decor on a budget and customized to your party theme.  I used two graphics from Cricut Design Space.  They are actually pumpkin stencils, but I just sized them to what I needed and they cut perfectly with the Explore.

I also used a web cupcake wrapper that is from Cricut Design Space.  I re-sized them to 8.5″ wide, it was the perfect size for the cupcakes.  Once again they cut perfectly with the Explore.

Once I had my detailed pieces cut I used a glue stick to attach them all to some gold glittered circles I also cut with the Explore.  I made the gold circles just a little bit larger than my detailed designs.

Last step is to hot glue some toothpicks to the back so you can stick them in your cupcakes.  

You guys have heard me say how much I love this Cricut Explore machine, and I’m not joking around here…it’s hands down my favorite crafting tool.  

There are a few more projects to come over the next couple of days.  I hope you will keep checking back.
