Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Create “spooky” decals with these SVG designs using your cutting machine to place onto the outside of your lantern's glass windows. When lit at night it will glow with a creepy display and an eerie delight! *Basic knowledge of the usage of a cutting machine and how to weed the cut design vinyl into a decal is needed.

Step 1:

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning. Clean the front of your lantern windows of dust and dirt.

Step 2:

Measure from inside the frame of the four windows on your lantern as you will need to resize the SVG designs to fit. Not all the lantern windows are the same size so be sure to measure all four.

Step 3:

Bring into you cutting machine’s program the SVG design Warning Haunted House. Cut design and resize to fit your lantern’s window. Repeat this step using the SVG design Haunted House. You will need to cut two of each.

Step 4:

Position your cut designs on your cutting machine program screen. I was able to cut four designs on a vinyl 12” x 12” sheet based on the size of my designs. Additional vinyl may be needed based on your size of design. Prepare your vinyl using your cutting mat. Load into your cutting machine.

Step 5:

Adjust your cut settings and cut designs onto vinyl. Weed your cut designs for a decal by removing all the
unwanted vinyl.

Step 6:

Place transfer tape on each cut design. Smooth out any air bubbles. If you haven't already, remove any dust/dirt from your lantern windows. Consider your placement of each decal. Remove adhesive backing from one of your decals.

Step 7:

Center and place one of the decals onto one of your lantern windows. Finger press to adhere, smoothing out air bubbles. Slowly remove transfer tape and your first window is done! Repeat steps for the remainder lantern windows.

Step 8:

Add your candle and your Halloween lantern is complete! Way to go! Happy Haunting!
