Creepy Halloween Rats

Looking for last-minute wall decorations to make easily with your Cricut? Try these simple rat silhouettes.

How to Make the Halloween Rat Decorations with a Cricut

1) Download the free SVG from the Free Files Folder. It’s design #55 – Rat Silhouettes for Halloween.

2) Unzip the file, then Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space.

3) Resize the rats as needed. I arranged three rats as pictured and “Attached” them together, so that I could use as much material as possible on a 12×12 mat.

4) Cut out the rats. I used Posterboard, which is a material that’s cheap and easy to find. I found that the default “Posterboard” material setting cut into the mat. It repeated the cut twice, so I just stopped my Cricut after the first round.

5) When you are removing the posterboard from the mat, hold the paper down on the table while slowly peeling the mat back away from the poster board. Using this method ensures that there is less tearing of the paper.

6) You can also cut smaller silhouettes so they look like mice scurrying around.

7) Attach them to the wall around your house using blue painter’s tape so that they come off easily when Halloween is over.

Super easy, right?
