Cricut Halloween Post-It Craft Paper Gift Bag

I used the Happy Hauntings, Oct 31 & Pumpkin Carvings Cricut cartridges.

Yesterday, I created that Happy Haunting sentiment using Post-It craft paper and stuck it to my Cricut Imagine.  Here’s a link to that post.  I was curious if it really would be reusable, so I waited 24 hours and I peeled it off of my Imagine and stuck it to this bag.  It restuck just fine!! YAY!

See?  It was stuck on the Imagine and now it’s on the green bag.

I think it’s soooo cool that you can just buy plain bags at the dollar store (or wherever) and then dress them up using your Cricut.  I don’t know about you, but if I’m using a gift bag to give something to one of my children I try to keep and reuse that bag after they are done with it.  Just think, one bag could be redecorated and reused over many occasions.  That’s a fun way to recycle bags.

This is the Pumpkin Carving overlay using the Cricut Imagine.

Time to cut it out.

I’m using some of the leftover Post It craft paper from yesterday.  That’s why it looks all chewed up.  LOL!

All cut and ready to remove!

You just peel off the back and stick it down.  I then used a Signo white pen and added a few funny details. 😀

Do you love the headstones?

Next, I decided to use the Oct 31 Cricut cartridge to make a creepy spider.

I know it’s made out of paper, but it still moved in a creepy way when the fan blew on it.  shudder…shudder…

SEE YOU TOMORROW!

  8. I really need to get some of that post-it paper! Thanks for all of the great tips – you are definitely one of my daily stops!!

  11. OKAY!!! Now that I own two cricuts the small one and the large one, since you have the imagine, is it really a must and how do I convince the hubby I MUST have it? Please send me some marketing words to sell it to him LOL!!!!! Is it really a good investment or should I wait for the next machine to come out which will probably be called the “MIRACLE”? lol Why are there so many inventive people out there and why I am I a “gotta have it type of person” ? 🙂 lol

  12. Wow now that’s being green. Love it. I went to our joanne’s and they don’t carry the paper. Will have to check online, but this was awesome

  14. Always love your projects and knowing you can “restick” that paper is handy info! Thanks Joy!

  15. very nice! I always hover after gifts are open so I can make sure the bags don’t get tossed! I have some bags that have been passed back forth for years! Great idea to decorate the plain ones to suit the occasion!

  16. I haven’t tried that paper yet. I wonder if it would hold well for something you wanted to last longer.

  19. What a great idea! I need to find that post-it paper! I haven’t seen it for sale around here yet.

  26. I’m with you. Why throw away a perfectly good bag? I’ve even ripped on the tag if it’s written on and just make a new one. Thanks for the great project!

  30. I am going to get some of this paper. I like the udea of reusing the gift bags & decorating them to whatever theme.
    Thanks
