Spooky Eyes

O.K. I know Halloween is past for this year, but I promised to share this when I posted a sneak peak on Instagram.  This is definitely not an original idea; I saw it on Pinterest in several variations (all made from toilet paper rolls), but I made my own Silhouette cutting file and want to share it.  This is much better than saving those things from the bathroom.  🙂

The original thought is to cut eyes into a toilet-paper roll, stick a glow stick inside, and put it in your bushes on Halloween night.  I decided to go with (clean) black paper and cut a bunch with my Silhouette CAMEO.

Here is the final view of the glowing eyes:

How I had these spooky eyes set up in my bushes on Halloween night (a little hard to see in daylight, but that’s kind of the point):

And the Silhouette cutting file for you (click image to download the Studio file):

You can roll them like a toilet-paper tube, but we found it was easier to position them if they had a triangular shape with a flat base. I left off the fold lines so you can roll or fold them however you like.  I did use a little tape to secure the glow sticks in place.
