Halloween Typography and Countdown Board!

Are you starting to think about decorating for Halloween?? I’m sharing one of my favorite Halloween projects today! I love my Halloween Typography and countdown board.

It’s a festive way to decorate AND it’s fun for the kids to count down the days until Halloween!!

 

It’s SO easy to make too!!

  • Design the fonts in your craft cutting software.
  • Cut them out
  • Paint a board
  • Put the vinyl words on the board
  • Add a circle with chalkboard vinyl. It’s so easy to use and keep clean!
  • Put it out every year!

Here are a few ways I’ve used this sign over the years:

    Hi Jen, I have one of the older Silhouettes. I have been thinking about getting the Cameo, but can’t decide if I should spend the money. What are some of the bigger differences in the two? I have a machine that came out before the SD.
