Halloween is nearing which means… “Pumpkins scream in the dead of night”. Do you know what I am referencing? Of course it has got to be The Nightmare Before Christmas! That is one of my favorite shows of all time which is exactly why I am busy making all sorts of fun Nightmare Before Christmas crafts. Recently, I came up with this Jack Skellington Nightlight and I thought it turned out so cute that I just had to share it with you!

I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!

Supplies Needed to Make a Jack Skellington Night Light:

• Round White Push Light
• Black Adhesive Vinyl
• Transfer Paper
• Silhouette Electronic Cutting Machine
• Silhouette Tools
• Scissors
• Jack Skellington Image from Google

How to Make a Jack Skellington Night Light:

1. Google the image you want to use for your Jack Skellington light and save it your computer.
2. Open the image in your Silhouette Studio Software and trace the image.
3. Resize the image to the dimensions that will fit your light. For my light, it was 4.173 in. x 3.317 in. If you want, you can also download the Burton’s Nightmare font and add a saying to the light as well.
4. Adjust your cut settings in the software and load the black vinyl into the machine. Cut your image.
5. Once cut, you are going to want to weed the image. Since I wanted the majority of the face white, I took out the interior black as you can see below.
6. Place your transfer tape over the top of the weeded image and apply pressure.
7. Align the image on your light and apply pressure until the image transfers to the light. You can use your finger to smooth down any rough edges of vinyl. 
8. Install batteries and turn on the light at night!
