Hey there! Today I am back with another fun blog hop hosted by Team Creative Crafts and featuring so many awesome bloggers. The theme this month is pumpkins. Everyone did such an amazing job at making fun crafts with this month theme. All the other posts will be linked at the bottom of this post. For my project I made a cool Halloween pumpkin bookmark.

My youngest son enjoys reading so I love making him different types of bookmarks. My Cricut Joy is a great helper for these bookmark projects. A little while ago I used my Cricut Joy to create this reading pointer which can also be used as a bookmark.
Halloween pumpkin bookmark supplies:
- Cricut Joy
- Therm O Web Easy Cut Adhesive
- Laura Kelly for Therm O Web Foil Transfer Sheet, Carrot Orange
- Glitter
- Laminate Sheet
- Laminating Machine
- Hole punch
- Ribbon
- Paper Cutter
Halloween Bookmark Tutorial
The first thing I did was cut out my pumpkins from the Easy Cut Adhesive using my Cricut Joy. I used the glitter paper setting to make sure it cut all the way through.
Here is the material I used, you can faintly see the pumpkin cut outs. But it’s there.
They cut out pretty well with the glitter paper setting. This Easy Cut Adhesive works just like double sided tape sandwiched between two pieces of paper. When putting the pumpkin cut out down on the laminate sheet start by removing the back paper first. You need to be careful with this step because the front paper will sometimes want to come off first.
Next, once you remove the backing paper, place the pumpkin onto the laminate sheet.Once you place down all the pumpkins remove the top piece of paper. You will now be able to add the foil to them. Make sure to rub the foil on really good to make sure it is on there well. Next remove the foil sheet.
I decided to add some black glitter to the empty spaces. I used a clean paint brush to remove any glitter that got on the pumpkin.
Next, I closed my laminate sheet and ran it through my laminating machine.
Once it finished laminating I used my paper cutter to cut it down to the bookmark size I wanted.
I used a hole punch to make a hole at the top and ran some ribbon through.
That’s all there is to it. It’s pretty easy to make this Halloween pumpkin bookmark; however, you’ll want to take your time when working with the Easy Cut Adhesive. I hope this inspires you to create one yourself. And, don’t forget to check out the other crafts projects from the blog hop. Happy crafting!
