Ghostly Garland with Styletechcraft Vinyl


October is the time of year for falling leaves, goblins and ghosties.  I purchased several beveled mirrors and some seasonal ribbon from my local Dollar Tree.  Tape Technologies vinyl was perfect for decorating the mirrors.  Read on, and I will tell you how I made the garland.


You will need:

Styletechcraft: Transparent Glitter Vinyl:  Black, Sunflower, Holo; Transfer Tape
Mirrors:  Round beveled edge, 5"
Ribbon:  Orange and black 2-1/2" wire edged
Dies:  Cat, Jack-O-Lantern, Skull & Bones
Die-cut machine
Scissors
Jute String:  one yard
Branch or Stick:  10"
Cardstock:  Black; cut into three 5-3/4" Circles with pinked edges
Glue Gun & Sticks



Instructions:

1.  Clean and dry the mirrors.

2.  Cut out a 4" jack-o-lantern.  Use the transfer paper to transfer the shape to the mirror.  Smooth out any air bubbles. Repeat for each shape.

3.  Cut three 5-3/4" circles with pinked edges.  Regular circles will work too.

4.  Glue a mirror to a cardstock circle.  Repeat for each mirror.

5.  Cut a 28" piece of ribbon.  With right side facing up; fold under the top edge 2".  Glue the edges leaving a casing for the jute. Thread the jute through the casing and tie one end around one side of the stick.  Secure with a knot. Repeat on the other side.  Trim the ends.  

6.  Cut a V in the bottom edge of the ribbon.

Hang up and enjoy!
