These vintage Halloween SVGs are perfect for taking your Halloween style to the next level. These fun cut files are designed to be put on a sign, though you could also put them on a tote bag or pillow using your Cricut!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used a pre-made framed sign, and then cut the image using my Glowforge and draftboard. You can use acrylic or wood if you&rsquo;d like. There are lots of ways to make signs with your Glowforge. I hope you find the tips and tricks in this post helpful, and if you have another method you&rsquo;d like to share, I&rsquo;d love to hear about it in the comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"Take your Halloween decor to the next level with this vintage Halloween sign made using your Glowforge!

id=\"Switching_My_Original_Plan\"><\/span>Switching My Original Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When I originally planned this project, I wanted to score the backing board on my sign with an outline of my image so that I could use it to correctly place my pieces (see this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happinessishomemade.net\/easy-laser-cut-wood-signs\/\">Wood Sign Tutorial<\/a> at Happiness is Homemade for more information on this method!). This method would allow me to use less draftboard because I could &ldquo;nest&rdquo; my pieces before cutting and not waste all the negative space between the images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Problem is, the blank frame I was using was too tall in my <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Glowforge\" href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/recommends\/glowforge\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Glowforge<\/a>, so the laser arm would hit it! I thought about removing the crumb tray so it would fit, but then my score line wouldn&rsquo;t be entirely in focus and I&rsquo;d risk a blurry line behind my image. So instead of scoring, I decided to cut the image as designed with a box around it so it would fit perfectly within my frame. Then I could use the negative space of the sign as a stencil to get perfect placement, as you&rsquo;ll see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostly I just share this so you can see the thought process behind this Glowforge project. There are so many ways to craft with this machine, and it&rsquo;s always good to see different ways to approach a project! Here&rsquo;s how I ended up crafting this fun vintage Halloween sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paint-and-measure-your-sign\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paint_and_Measure_Your_Sign\"><\/span>Paint and Measure Your Sign<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paint your blank wood sign.
