It’s month #2 and time for me to test out the Cricut Explore again. �Like I’ve said before, I don’t craft—at all. �So�if I can do it and create an awesome project like this�-all of you guys can too! �Besides, if you want a real beginner’s review, that would be me!�
Plus since�Christmas is coming up, I knew doing some fun reviews for Cricut could help you guys know if you wanted to put it on your lists or not.�
� **If you missed last month’s project, you can see it here. �It’s a Gear Statement Necklace.�
This month’s project? �Kid’s Halloween Party Masks!! Aren’t they super cute? �These are made with the Cricut Explore. �Just download the SVG file I’ve given you below and cut out your masks. �Glue. �Then add some elastic. �That’s it! �You could give these masks as a Halloween party favor or have them as part of the party.
SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:
- Cricut Explore�(Reg $299.. it�s on sale right now for $249!!)

[gview file=”https://freebies2deals.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Frank-2.svg”] [gview file=”https://freebies2deals.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/skeleton1.svg”] [gview file=”https://freebies2deals.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Bat1.svg”]
Step #1: �Download this SVG File above�and upload it to your Cricut Explore to cut out. �You can choose from a Bat, Skeleton and Frankenstein. �(**Don’t forget to change the “Scars” on the Skeleton and Frankenstein Masks to “Write” with the Midnight Black Pen.)
Step #2: �After you have cut out your pieces, glue them together and let it dry completely.
Step #3: Thread the elastic through the holes on each side of the mask and fit to whomever is wearing it.
Voila! You’re done. �This project is super simple and something anyone�can do to make Halloween a little more fun. �And just so you know, the�width of each mask is 5″ to 6″. �So it fits little kids, like my two munchkins above. Enjoy! �And HAPPY Early HALLOWEEN!
