The Cricut Explore is a new design and cut machine that gives anyone the creative freedom to make just about anything. Perfect for producing professional-looking projects, the sleek new Cricut Explore combined with an easy-to-use online design space, lets users create an array of items from home décor for interior design fashion designs, party decorations or cards and gifts.

• Connect the Cricut Explore™ to the pc/laptop/Mac. Log on to your Design Space™ account, search for ‘parties & events’ in the categories and select the Halloween Luminaries project.
• Click on ‘Customise’.
• Resize the images as required by first highlighting the image and then dragging the corner point. The size appears in a black text box as the image is altered. The project makes luminaries that are 4.5” x 3”.
• Score and cut the images from the double sided papers and card. Use the spatula to remove the images from the mat. This will minimise the damage to them and the mat. Use the weeder tool to remove any tiny pieces stuck within the cut.
• Carefully fold the luminaries along the score lines then glue the side and bottom tabs to make a box shape.
• For the spider web / haunted house: adhere the white base to the front of the luminary. Trim away the web / smoke from the black image. Adhere the remaining black image to the white front.
For the ghost: adhere the black base to the front of the luminary. Trim the ghost image from the white card and adhere it over the black base.
• Stand on a flat surface and put a tealight (battery operated is safest) inside for a spooky effect after dark.
