Today I have a couple of fun Halloween Celebration ideas to share with you as a part of the Cricut Design Space Star Competition!  The first one is this DIY serving bowl found here and the other are these cute and fun Halloween Party Crowns!

Each year our family has a special Halloween party and sit down dinner. Sometimes it’s on Halloween and sometimes it’s a day or two before.

I started thinking about this year’s dinner and trying to come up with ideas for cute party hats to wear at dinner (my big kids are not usually in costume). I love how, in England, it’s traditional to wear paper crowns for Christmas dinner, and I thought that I’d take that idea and twist it a bit for Halloween.

These paper party crowns are easy enough to make that you can make a bunch for your Halloween party quickly!

How cute would a bunch of kindergarteners look running around in these at a party!  

I think they are super cute for teens and tweens as much as for little kids and even adults.  

You can make the crowns to your liking depending on which Halloween character is your favorite. You could use spiders, bats, ghosts, witches skulls or even Frankenstein. They also make really cute and unique Halloween Photo Booth Props!

Halloween Party Ideas & Props; How to Make Paper Party Crowns for Halloween

To make them you need:

1 Piece of Cardstock per Crown (I like textured cardstock)

Cricut Machine

Halloween Images and Rectangle Image in the Cricut Design Space

Paper Party Crowns Directions

To create the crowns in the Cricut design space, simply line up the Halloween images with a 1 1/2″ x 11 1/2″ rectangle. Make sure all of the pieces are touching, then click on all of them and click “weld” in the Design Space software.  You’ll get one continuous cut piece.

Cut out your images with your Cricut. You’re going to need two strips per crown as most people’s heads are larger than 11 1/2″ around.

After you’ve cut them out simply staple one end together. Then put the crown on the lucky wearers head and staple the other side to fit.
