Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Select Your Banner Designs Choose or design Halloween-themed shapes and phrases for your banners. Classic symbols like pumpkins, bats, and witches’ hats work well. Load these designs into your Cricut cutting machine.
Step 2: Load Colored Cardstock Load your selected colored cardstock into the cutting machine. Ensure it’s securely in place and properly aligned for precise cutting.
