Designed by: Amy Law
Skill Level: beginner

Materials needed:

• small white paper gift bag with handles (5 1/2” wide x 8 1/2” tall)
• orange cardstock 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”
• large jack o’lantern rubber stamp and black stamp pad (or print a black and white drawing of a jack o’lantern onto your orange cardstock)
• Kreinik press cloth*
• Kreinik Iron-on #16 Braid 6700, 6710, 6720
• mini iron or household iron
• 1-inch Treasure Tape

*If your iron isn't non-stick or Teflon coated, we recommend that you get one of our Adhesive Press Cloths. It will keep the adhesive in the thread from sticking to your iron. They come in various sizes. Apply to a cool iron. 

Instructions:

1. Turn your iron onto the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.
2. If needed, stamp the jack o’lantern image onto your cardstock.
3. Iron over the outline of the pumpkin using the orange iron-on braid: lay the thread at a starting point, cover with the press cloth, and press for several second or until the thread adheres. Continue this way, working the design in sections.
4. Use the 6710 iron-on braid to outline the eyes, nose, and mouth of the jack o’lantern.
5. Use the green iron-on braid to outline the pumpkin stem, and to create leafy tendrils next to the stem. Use our photograph as a guide.Adhere the decorated orange cardstock to the center front of your white bag using Treasure Tape.

A metallic thread mohawk is what all the best-dressed skeletons will be wearing this Halloween.

Materials needed: 

• styrofoam skull from the dollar store
• Kreinik Bag O' Bits
• a few nails (optional)
• Kreinik Treasure Tape 1/2" Roll

Instructions: 

Lay a strip of Treasure Tape from the top of the head to the back of the head. Remove the red liner to expose the sticky area. Begin to lay bits of metallic threads on the tape, pressing as you go. If needed to fill out the mohawk, add layers of tape underneath rows of thread where you can add even more thread. Trim the thread so ends are even in length. Add nails on skull if desired.

Well, this little design by Ursula Michael is a grown-up treat for a stitcher. Made with glow-in-the-dark threads, it can be appliquéed on a tote bag (for trick-or-treating), or made into a door hanger (mount on wooden board with curled wire as the hanger).Let it remind you of all the fun and camaraderie of childhood at Halloween.
