3D Halloween Witch Boot 2 Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Who’s ready for some candy and Halloween? Well, maybe not the candy but the cooler temps and the Halloween crafty fun? I say…yes, please!! Today I have a tutorial on the newest and adorable 3D Witch Boot 2 (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette). This a new boot style that just came out Tuesday along with some other awesome Halloween projects like some cards and a great witch’s hat which could be a cute match to the boot!

How cute is this?!?! It laces up just like a real boot and was fun to decorate. I’m so excited to have this to add to my Halloween home décor this year! So if you want one for your own décor, gather your supplies and follow along with my tutorial. And if you are wondering, I used the Halloween Magic collection from Echo Park Paper for this project because I had to have the gorgeous purple plaid for the main part of the boot.

So as with any project, the first part is to pull your papers out and let’s get started by cutting out the pieces. As you can see I used a lot of black cardstock because I wanted this piece to be sturdy to hold up through the years with it being packed and stored while not in use. **Do not adhere the outside boot panels together yet. I have special instructions on where to apply glue for these.**

Next step is to focus on the tabbed pieces. Lori has added some shapes to the cuts to help guide us along and line up the pieces properly. Line the first piece with on centered circle to the second piece with circles on the side tabs and adhere them together. Then you do the same for lining the pieces up with squares and then the triangles. This means you will have one long piece to adhere to the boot liner but if you prefer to work in smaller sections then watch Lori’s video on how she adheres the main part of the box together.

Now that you have one side of the inner boot adhered together, add your adhesive to the tabs and then lay the side boot piece to complete the inner boot box.

Now let’s start on the outer boot panels. Adhere all of the pattern paper pieces together but not to the black boot panel.

Now you will adhere the pattern paper pieces to the black boot panel but do not add adhesive in front of the lace holes. You need to be able to access these when lacing up the thread or twine.

Now you will have completed pieces that look like this but you will be able to slightly pull the pieces apart in front of the laces to thread your yarn or twine.

Next you can adhere the purple plaid panels to the box.

Lastly, you will take your twine or yarn and lace up the boot and then decorate as you wish.

And now you have a fun Halloween decorative piece that can be used as a centerpiece of candies or just sitting out by itself on a shelf. It is sure to be noticed and complemented by guests!

That’s all from me today! Hope you all enjoy this project and my tutorial. Have a great day!

3D Witch Boot

Hello everyone, I love decorating for Halloween, it’s right up there with Christmas for me so I’m always looking for cutting machine projects that can be used for decor and this 3D Witch Boot, (SVG, Silhouette) was the perfect addition for my tiered tray.

It went together flawlessly just took my time gluing the seams doing little sections. I absolutely love how it came out!!

The design of this boot is super cute, it’s such a unique treat box.  I resized the file down about an inch which was a perfect fit for my tiered tray. I crinkled up a strip of the paper and glued it to the inside top of the boot to make it look like fabric sticking out.

The paper and embellishments used are from Echo Park’s Halloween Magic collection which is designed by Lori, love all the cute frames, tags, and ephemera pieces. The project was cut out using my Silhouette Cameo 4. Lori also has an assembly tutorial here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Large Haunted House

Today I’m sharing one of Lori’s Large Haunted Houses (Silhouette, SVG).  I really wanted a house that could be used for both Halloween and Fall, so I made the house in neutral colors, and attached all of the embellishments with magnets. That way can switch out the Halloween décor for Fall/Thanksgiving décor later.

Above are the Halloween décor items that have magnets on the back.

You can see the strips of magnets in this picture. I used washi tape to attach the banner.

I used Echo Park Paper’s Halloween Magic Collection. The cute characters in front are stickers from that collection. After Halloween I can swap out these embellishments for something more fall themed. This was so fun to put together.  This tutorial is for a different house but it is assembled in the same basic manner and will get you pointed in the right direction.

Have a great day!

Halloween Countdown Tutorial

Hi there Lori Whitlock friends! Anyone else look forward to this time of year to do all the fun Fall/Halloween crafts? It is my favorite.

I am sharing a fun idea for a Halloween countdown today. I used my Glowforge laser cutter to  make this project out of wood but it would also be cute as a flat design cut out of paper or vinyl and applied to a premade sign blank. I also think my steps below would work for cutting this project out of chipboard if your machine does that.

The files I used are Halloween Haunted House Scene (SVG, Silhouette), Halloween Tree (SVG, Silhouette), Halloween Tombstones (SVG, Silhouette), and the Spooky Font (SVG, Silhouette).  I also used the rectangle tool in Silhouette to create my base.

For the numbered tombstones I wanted a simple shape. I used the knife tool in Silhouette to slice off the cross from the tombstone on the end.  I then typed out the numbers 0-9 and cut an extra 1,2, and 3 so that I would be able to do the higher number double digits in the count down.

I then typed out days till Halloween in the spooky font and created an offset. I welded the offset letters together and grouped them together to keep the word spacing from shifting.

With the offset letters, house scene, and the spooky trees I welded  a rectangle to the bottom of the images to create a tab to fit into the slots that I add to my base. The dimensions of the rectangles for the base are determined by the width of the material being used. If you are making a flat countdown this step is not necessary.

Once I had the tabs added to the images I created the slots in the base of the countdown. The top two small rectangles are for the spooky trees. The middle rectangle is for the house scene and the bottom rectangle is for the numbered tombstones and days till Halloween letters. I centered the skinny rectangles on the larger rectangle then spaced them as shown below. I selected all of the rectangles and created a compound path. The large black rectangle is the bottom of the base.

I cut everything out, painted, and assembled.

I really like how it turned out and my little guy cant wait to start counting down the days to Halloween. If you have any questions let us know. Thanks for stopping by!
