Glow in The Dark Cricut Pumpkin

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• White Funkin' Pumpkin
• Glow Paint
• Medium Flat Brush
• Cricut Premium Vinyl - Black
• Cricut Machine and Design Suite
• Cutting Mat
• Transfer Tape
• SVG File

DIRECTIONS:

1. Paint the glow paint onto the pumpkin evenly with a medium flat brush. Additional coats will be needed for added glow. You can check the look of the glow paint between coats in a dark room to see if you need more or missed any spots. Set aside to dry completely.
2. Open Cricut Design Space and create a new project. Click Upload, Upload Image, browse and then upload the provided SVG file. Select the uploaded SVG and click "insert image".
3. Select everything, set it to the desired size and click "weld" in the bottom right of layer pallet. Once everything is set on your worksurface click "make it".
4. In the next screen click "continue" then Select "vinyl" as your Base Material.
5. Place the Black Vinyl face up on the cutting mat and load the mat into the Cricut machine using the arrow button.
6. Once the mat is loaded press the Cricut logo button and begin the cutting process.
7. Once the Cricut is finished cutting, unload the mat and remove the vinyl. Weed off the excess vinyl only leaving the image.
8. Place a piece of Transfer Tape over the image and remove the vinyl from the backing so it's stuck to the transfer tape.
9. Press the image onto the pumpkin and rub along the vinyl pieces to secure them in place. Pull away the transfer tape and rub along the design again to make sure nothing peeled up when removing the tape.

JOANN HACKS:

• Make sure the paint is completely cured before attempting to do the transfer tape or it will pull up the paint off the pumpkin.
