Halloween Project -- Make EEK Blocks!! {tutorial}

Hello tatertots & jello FANS! jen here from CraftOManiac.{EEK} I AM SO STOKED to be visiting here on Jen's lovely blog today. She is to darn sweet to allow me to share with you my "EEK" blocks. I love jen so much.

SO here are my "EEK" blocks.

Here's what I did to make them:

In the collage you can see basic step by step instructions.

I purchased the wood blocks and other wood pieces at Roberts Crafts.

I started with painting the blocks with white acrylic paint.

Then using my Cricut and my Platinum Schoolbook cartridge I cut out the letters out.

I placed the vinyl letters on the blocks and then painted over the vinyl with charcoal acrylic paint and a little white paint mixed in.

I then removed the vinyl and sanded the blocks and the toppers as well.

I finally painted, sanded, and hot glued on two round wood balls to the base of the larger "E".

This was a super easy project approx. 45 minutes or so.

THERE YOU HAVE IT. I just love Halloween, and love to craft for it as well. I would sure love for you all to come visit me on COM. Thank you again jen, you are truly the best. winks-jen

Thanks Jen!! I love those little feet.

Halloween Eye Chart Pillow & Printable!! {plus file sizes to print it BIG!}

You may know this about me --

I am a Halloween fanatic.

I get so excited when Fall hits!!!

I have loved seeing eye chart projects lately and I thought it would be so fun to make one for Halloween!! I made a Halloween Eye Chart Pillow for this spooky season, and then, just for fun I made a printable to share with YOU!

{and.. scroll down to the end to get the FREE **Printable** Eye Chart Files!!}

To make the pillow, this is what I did:

I created the eye chart in my Silhouette Studio program.

I flipped the lettering so that it was backward.

I printed out the lettering on Heat Transfer Paper.

I ironed the lettering onto white canvas.

I cut out the chevron material – 1 inch longer in width and length than the pillow form.

I pinned the lettered fabric to the chevron front panel and used a zig zag stitch to sew the pillow together.

Now I have a fun little pillow for this Spooky Season!!

And -- I made a printable version to share with you!

All you need to do is click on the download button and you can print off a copy for your home.

And I included a little chevron just for fun!!

You can choose between Orange or Grey.

Here's the orange version:

And here's the grey version:

PLUS, I have also included a way to print these off BIG!!

Here is a link to the .JPEG files -- so you can send these down to Costco or similar and get them printed out in a BIG size!!

The one I printed fits PERFECTLY in an Ikea 19 3/4 x 15 1/2 frame (IKEA Ribba (200.783.33)). You can send the file down to Costco and they can print it up THE SAME DAY. It cost $6 to print!!!

Here's the full collection of PDF printables, hosted on Scribd.

Just click the download button to download the PDF. If you're going to print these at Costco or some other photo processing shop, you might prefer to use the .JPG or .PNG files, linked below the Scribd files.

Note that there are five (5!) versions. The first is a "fancy" version that includes all of the classic eye chart numbers and frippery.

The two 8.5 x 11 ones are above, and here's the PDF version of the "fancy" one in 8.5 x 11. After that I've linked all the sizes in PDF, JPG and PNG.

(Bigger sizes won't work for PDF)

If you're planning to print these at Costco or another photo printing place, I recommend you use these JPG files. Warning: they're huge files, especially the ones for the large frames.

And if the JPG files aren't working for you, you can also use these PNG file links instead. Warning: they're fairly large files, especially the ones for the large frames.
