Get your table decorated just in time for Halloween! In this three part series, we are showing you how to create quick and easy Halloween table decor. Today, we are making personalized napkins with Cricut!
I love a good tablescape – especially when it comes to Halloween table decor! However, I don’t love how much it costs or how hard it can be to find what I want. When I discovered I could use iron-on to create personalized napkins it was a game changer! You can create only the number of napkins you need, you can create your own designs, and you can use small scraps of iron-on (we all know we’ve got ’em) for an easy, affordable, special touch to your next party.
CREATE PERSONALIZED NAPKINS WITH CRICUT
Grab yourself some orange napkins, your Cricut machine and the Cricut EasyPress Mini, and let’s make some cute spider napkins! {This post contains affiliate links which means I may make a commission on any purchases made – at no additional cost to you.}
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- Cricut Maker (available at Cricut, Michaels, and HSN) – this would work just as well with an Explore Air
- Cricut Light Grip Mat
- Cricut Iron-On (I used black)
- Cricut Basic Tool Set
- Cricut EasyPress Mini
- paper napkins

HOW TO MAKE PERSONALIZED NAPKINS:
1. Choose an image in Cricut Design Space (I share this project in Design Space – the BOO! is for the laminated placemat project) and cut your design from iron-on. Don’t forget to mirror the image and put the iron-on shiny side down!
2. Remove excess iron-on and weed out any iron-on from the spider image.
3. Power on Cricut EasyPress Mini. I used the Cricut Heat Guide to determine my temperature. When the indicator is green the Mini is ready to use!
3. Place spider image on to napkin.
4. Use EasyPress Mini to pre-heat napkin (just one or two seconds), then adhere iron-on. I’ve found I just need about five seconds – if the iron-on doesn’t adhere add heat in 2-3 second increments. You CAN burn the napkin if you leave it on too long so be careful!
5. Remove liner while still warm.
And voila! With just some iron-on and your Cricut EasyPress Mini, you can easily transform plain paper napkins in to personalized napkins for any occasion!
