I hope you enjoyed this list of pumpkin files and ideas! This is a great way to get started on your autumn decorations! Why not pop in your favorite Halloween movie, gather up some craft supplies and friends or family, and make a cozy craft day inside?

Then, preheat your EasyPress or iron to the proper temperature. The guide calls for me to set my EasyPress to 330°F. If you are using an iron and cotton t-shirt, set it to the cotton setting. If your shirt is something other than cotton, you may need a different setting for your material. If you ever have any questions about cutting vinyl, I have put together a great resource to help. It’s “The Ultimate Guide to Vinyl” and among other things it explains how to tell which side of the iron-on vinyl goes down on the mat. Place your t-shirt on a Cricut EasyPress Mat or folded towel to protect your work surface. Use a lint roller to clean any stray lint or fuzz from the area of your shirt where you plan to adhere the vinyl.This may be my favorite Halloween SVG — use it to create a paper toy that springs up into a pumpkin! NOTE: Templates only work in Cricut Design Space on a desktop or laptop, not on an iPad, iPhone, or other mobile device.

Here's what the two layers of iron-on vinyl for the pumpkin will look like once cut and weeded. Notice that the shiny carrier sheet is visible and larger than the vinyl pieces.We will use a clean green Cricut StandardGrip Machine Mat to cut our layers of vinyl. So as mentioned, place the shiny side down on the mat, with the dull side up. To get started, you begin peeling the unneeded vinyl away from an edge. You can also use the tip of your weeding tool in the corner and pull up the edge. Once you have it started, continue to pull the excess vinyl away from the carrier sheet. Your design will stay on the carrier sheet and the part that you do not want will pull away. Find the vertical center of your shirt.The simplest way to do this is to fold your shirt in half by matching up your sleeves. TIP: Putting a crease in your shirt like this also serves to pre-heat the material. It won’t impact the final design at all.
