Skeleton Marquee Pumpkin Tutorial for Michaels

Skeleton marquee pumpkin tutorial for michaels

It’s September which means it’s completely legit to start decorating for Halloween! If you’ve been following Love The Day for awhile you know that Halloween is my bread and butter. I love it ridiculously! I’ve already pulled out my hoards of boxes and begun spookifying out my house for the holiday. And how fitting that my first Michaels Maker Challenge of this year is to decorate one of their Ashland Fall Pumpkins (which are the absolute best….no messy insides, no rotting and they last forever)!

There were a couple of different ideas I had, but couldn’t pass up combing the fall pumpkins with Heidi Swapp’s Marquees. Especially the Halloween collection that was just released. They are crazy adorable! There is a pumpkin, bat, witch’s hat and a skeleton like the one I used below. I used the Heidi Swapp tape to spruce up my skeleton and placed it right in my pumpkin! See more detailed instructions below:

MATERIALS

Heidi Swapp Skeleton Marquee Kit
13′ Craft Pumpkin by Ashland
Heidi Swapp Marquee Black & White Stripe Tape
Exacto Knife
AAA Batteries

DIRECTIONS

Take your Skeleton Marquee out of the box, and place the skeleton frame on your pumpkin and trace. Using the exacto knife, cut along your traced line. Next take the extra Skeleton Pattern (it comes in your Marquee box) and using your Black & White Stripped Tape, tape your skeleton face. It takes about four pieces of tape. Make sure you match up your lines. Flip the skeleton over, and using your exacto knife again, cut out the eyes, nose, mouth and light circles that are covered with tape. Place the taped skeleton face in your marquee. Put the light bulbs in the sockets and string your lights. Make sure you also put in your AAA Batteries. Place the entire Skeleton Marquee into your pumpkin and enjoy!

  • Is anything cooler than the combination of love and sharks? Nope I think not!! Pair this tag with gummy sharks and you will officially be the coolest mom around. #linkinprofile #LTDprintables #digitaldownload #printable #willyoubemyvalentine #papercrafts #papercrafting  #bemyvalentine

  • It might be early, but I think we can all agree that the world needs more love right now so I’m starting to share all the Valentine’s Day things!! Love Day tags are easily my favorite things to design so prepare yourself for love puns galore! #LTDprintables #valentinesdaycrafts #printables #punsfordays #valentinesday❤️
  • Anyone else feeling the need to organize EVERYTHING!? This holiday was busy & super messy and I’ve been trying to get organized after all the fun chaos! This week I’ve decided to tackle the epicenter….my craft room/office. It’s a disaster! I decided all my craft supplies needed their own home and found the most amazing totes/bins at @michaelsstores (I’ll share them in my stories). I placed vinyl labels on all the bins and am starting to feel so much better about life. Here’s how I did it! If you are looking to organize your craft area, I’ve designed some SVG labels for you. They are on my blog! #cricutmade #cricutcreations #vinyllove #craftroomorganization #linkinbio👆 #craftroomstorage #svgcuttingfiles #svgfilesforcricut
  • Whew....we almost made it y’all. There’s no doubt that 2020 was an absolute doozy for just about everyone. Although I know the turn of one day isn’t going to bring around immediate change (especially during a pandemic), there’s something about a new year that brings with it new hope and new wishes! What are you looking forward to in the new year?! I’ve designed a full 2021 printable calendar to help you plan and dream for the year ahead. #LTDprintables #linkinbio #2021calendar #newyearnewgoals #printables #dallasblogger
  • We’re getting ready for Christmas Eve Dinner and even though it feels different with just our family of four, it’s no less magical. After starting the week off by sulking (with me being the most guilty), we decided our family really needed to turn it around. The second we started thinking about others rather than ourselves....BAM! Christmas spirit explosion!! An afternoon of random acts of kindness fixed all! Now we’re prepping for dinner with The Carpenter’s Christmas album blasting and excited for the festivities of the next 24 hours!  It’s amazing how getting outside of yourself can change everything. If you’re in a Christmas funk..try it! It will instantly bring magic to your holidays. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
  • As some of you know, I was on the @rachaelrayshow last week  with @michaelsstores sharing some last minute DIY gift ideas. I wanted to make sure those of you without cable (me!) had a chance to see how to make this Merry CRAFTSmas box so I created a video for my YouTube channel. Head over there to check it out! It
