Who’s ready for some Halloween celebrating? You know I am! I love Halloween crafting more than anything, so these Monster Mash Party Ideas were tons of fun to create!Tons of Monster Themed Halloween Party Ideas

 

This is part of the Cricut Design Space Star and I used my Cricut Machine to make almost all aspects of this party.

CricutAnd boy did I have fun! The more that I use this machine the more I fall in love with it! It is so easy to use and cuts so nicely!

Want to see my party ideas? Let’s do it!

 

Monster Mash Party Ideas:

Invitations:

Here are the invitations I used for the party:

Monster Party Invitations

Supplies Needed:

  • Card Stock
  • Googly Eyes
  • Glue

 

Instructions:

I cut these invitations using my Cricut Explore Machine. Here is a template that you can use to cut yours as well. Right click and save this, then upload it into your Cricut Design Space and size it how you want it. If you are not using a Cricut to cut it, right click and save and then print it and use it as a cutting template.

Monster Invitation Template

I added googly eyes and glued them in place. Then I used this Monster Mash Party Invite Template. Again, right click and save. Then open it in a photo editing program on your computer or on Pic Monkey to add your own text:

Monster Garland:

One of my favorite parts of the party was the decorative Monster Garland that I made!

Monster Garland

Supplies Needed:

  • Card Stock or Scrap Book Paper
  • Baker’s Twine or String
  • Tape and Glue Stick
  • Silver Paper or Card Stock or Sticker Paper

Instructions:

I also made this using my Cricut. I cut out circles using the Cricut. I have those loaded and ready for you in the Cricut Design Space if you have access to that. Get my template here. You will need to be logged in to your Cricut Design Space in order to access that.

If you are cutting them on your own, cut circles that are about 4 inches in diameter. Cut two circles for each spot you want in the garland. Then I used some baker’s twine to string them all together. I taped the twine to one circle, put glue on another and stuck them together:

To add the monsters I used a silver sticker paper (but you can use whatever works for you) and cut out silhouettes of the monsters.

 

Decorative Toppers:

Next I made cute little toppers that I stuck on a straw.

You can either print these and cut them out by hand, or use Cricut’s new print and cut feature to let the Cricut do the cutting for you!

Here’s the images so that you can use them:

Monster Stickers:

Or you can use these (above) as stickers! I used Cricut’s Sticker Paper to print these and stick them on cute little party favors:

Cupcake Toppers:

To make these I simply cut the silhouette of my monsters and added googly eyes then added them to one of my decorative straws (cut in half).

Easy but cute!

Monster Party Favors:

Fill them with candy!

 

Monster Cookies:

Supplies Needed:

  • Round Sugar Cookies
  • Frosting
  • Eyes (I found these in the baking section at Target)

Simply frost the cookie, then add some extra frosting to a sandwich bag and snip off the corner. Messily pipe the frosting on and then press the eyes in:   Monster Cookies

    Your monster party invites are so cute – and so easy to do. Love the hair style.

    Wish craft stores would have Cricut demos as it would give you a so much better understanding of what the machine can do. Remember the days when everything had to be hand cut – well……I’m still there and it’s so time consuming that you don’t tend to do as much as if you could cut templates with a machine.

    I tried to download the template for the box and teeth but it ended up (several times) saying “this page cannot be displayed”. Is there another way to get to the templates? I’m going to be making some goodies for a cat adoption fundraiser & the boxes would be perfect.

    Thanks so much.
