  3. Secure transfer paper to top of vinyl. Place design on top and trace design through transfer paper onto shelving paper. Make sure to press hard when tracing. Remove design and transfer paper.

I have made one of these for our halloween party last year. You can put candies, spiders or small toy body parts in it. Or maybe use colored marbles. We also made it look like a lantern. Cut out scary tree patterns or skeletons. Stick on the bottles and put candle inside.
