I mean, who doesn’t need a glow-in-the-dark skull tag?

Doesn’t everyone?

I have more to share but I’m off and running the roads today!  Make sure to check back later and throughout the week for more creepy craft ideas!  Bwa-ha-haaaa!

Ingredients:

Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge

Cricut

manilla shipping tag

scrap piece of black  and cream damask print paper (this is from Paper Studio)

cream colored cardstock OR a piece of a manila folder

Scraps of black paper large enough to cut the skull base

orange and green glittered velvet ribbon

1 orange button

1 lime green button

stapler

preferred adhesive

Spray adhesive for the glitter

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Antique Linen

Martha Stewart Glow-in-the-Dark Glitter

Directions:

1.  Cut the skull at 4″ – use the black paper for the base/blackout cut.  Use the manila for the top layer.  Assemble.

2.  Spray the front of the skull with spray adhesive and cover with Martha Stewart Glow-in-the-Dark Glitter.  Tap off excess.

3.  Ink the edges of the tag with both inks.  Use more of the Antique Linen and lightly edge with the Vintage Photo.

4.  Cut a strip of the black and cream damask paper to fit the front of the tag.  Snip the top two corners to fit on the tag.  Ink the edges and adhere to the manila tag.

5.  Attach the skull to the bottom of the tag.  Snip of the base of the skull if it hangs off the tag. 

6.  Tie a piece of green glittery velvet ribbon to the bottom of the tag so that it covers the bottom edge of the skull.  Fray the ends of the ribbon.

7.  Remove the white cord from the top of the tag.  Thread through the orange button and tie in a bow.  Cut off excess.  Glue the orange button to the top of a lime green button slightly larger than the orange one.  Glue to the top of the hole on the tag. 

8.  Attach a piece of orange and green velvet ribbon to the top of the tag.  Staple to the back. Fray the ends.

9. Add a sentiment to the back of the tag if you dare or if you’ll be using it on a card, layout or another spooky project get it on it and then send me a picture so I can admire your creepy craft! *wink*

Enjoy your Sunday!  I am off and running to a local Fall Festival with my family.  It’s 86 degrees in Illinois – definitely not fall like BUT beautiful!

Olive a fast craft idea, don’t you?
