Make your own Halloween Special Effects: Glow in the Dark Vinyl Reveals!

It’s that spooky season again, when the moon seems to bathe everything in an eerie glow… Read on for details on how to add some Hollywood movie magic to Halloween costumes, trick-or-treat bags, and other items, using Siser Glow-in-the-Dark adhesive and heat transfer vinyl.

Now you see it now you don’t!

With a little creativity and a little (night) vision, you can create a scary reveal on any light or dark colored fabric or apparel blank.

Steps to Make Spooky Reveal Trick-or-Treat Bag:

Step 1: First, you’ll need both some Siser Glow-in-the-Dark and solid-white heat transfer vinyl, and a blank canvas or fabric bag (all available at USCutter.com!)
Step 2: Vectorize your spooky Halloween cutfile. Separate the cut jobs into white vinyl for the part of the design that will be visible in daylight, and glow-in-the-dark (appears like white) vinyl for the part of the design you want to illuminate the darkness.
Step 3: Put down the Glow-in-the-Dark layer first, then briefly tack the heat transfer onto the bag’s facing for 5 seconds. Then lay down the layer of white vinyl, and follow the recommended pressure and temperature settings on your heat press for the full duration of the heat press cycle.
Step 4: Voila!
Note: you can do similar effects on shirts or other fabrics, including dark colors.
Also, don’t limit your imagination to Halloween (see this cool glow-in-the-dark directional signage made from Siser EasyPSV Glow-in-the-Dark adhesive vinyl)…
or vinyl (check out this cool dye-sublimation printed trick-or-treat bag!)…

Decorate a Spooktacular Haunted House with Indoor Vinyl!

Everyone knows it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Even on Halloween night!

People’s skeletons are on display. Our imaginations come out to play.

A good haunted house is so much more than a spooky exterior…here are just a few ideas on how to stage some indoor vinyl graphics for maximum spook factor!

Watch that first step, it’s a doozy! Trick out your staircase!
Having a few bats on the mantel does not necessarily make you mantelly batty!

Indoor removable wall vinyl graphics are easily cuttable from any vector file on your vinyl cutter. Apply with a medium (not-too-aggressive) transfer tape such as Oratape HT55 so as not to damage the paint on your walls. Certain new low VOC paints are not recommended for vinyl installation.

Removable adhesive is also good for temporary decals on windows that come off easily without residue!
Ditto for glassware. Dress up your drinking glasses with spooky temporary clean-removing decals!
