The 12 Week Christmas Craft Challenge - Week Two
Are you ready for week two of the 12 Week Christmas Craft Challenge? Last week we started with paper, making simple Christmas gift tags. This week we're focusing on simple vinyl projects. If you are brand new to using a cricut machine, I have a Step by Step walk through of how to make your first vinyl sticker, and then how to transfer it onto a Dollar Tree Candle holder.
Then, for the "Choose Your Own Adventure" section this week, there's a section of 10+ ideas for gifts and stocking stuffers to make with vinyl.
And I'd love to see what you make! Join the group for this page to share your progress, ask questions, and be absolutely inundated with free svgs, posted by themes. :-) Join The FB Group For This Blog By Clicking Here
For which vinyl to buy, I have a list of my favorites, and price guidelines, here:

Paper Pumpkin Luminaries
3D Paper Luminaries
This project is from Heart Filled Spaces - and was designed as a Silhouette project. Svgs often work the same in Silhouette or Cricut, but for this project.. it takes a few adjustments. I found a quick and efficient way to "fix' it in Design Space, which I will show you step by step below.
Once you get it set up in Design Space, this cuts beautifully and it's really pretty fast and easy to put together! She used a special paper cement glue, but we found that hot glue worked great for these, and I already had hot glue on hand. :-)
