Need DIY Halloween treats? Want to make this year extra special? Try turning your candy into these adorable witch legs. Your trick or treaters will love this cute treat and you will love just how easy they are to make. This is a part of Cricut Halloween Craft Lightning week. All week we are sharing 15 minute Halloween crafts that can be made with your Cricut. You can also see the crafts from today’s blog partners for this series here.
Halloween Candy Ideas
These cute witch legs are simple to make with a Cricut machine and our free template. Just download the SVG file below and follow the instructions to assemble your project.
Supplies needed:
- Cricut Cutting Machine (Want to see the difference between the machines? I compared the Cricut Maker and Explore here.)
- Green and black card stock
- Long skinny colorful candy
- Glue dots
- Cricut pen (I used the black fine tip)
- Witch dress and shoes design (you can see how to get the free SVG file below)
Free Witch Dress and Shoes SVG File
To get your free SVG file, just sign up for the newsletter in the box below. You need to look for a sign-up box that has a picture of the file you want then add your information. If you already get the newsletter, just add your information again as you will not be signed up for anything further. Once you add your information, check your email to get your file then upload it to Design Space following the instructions here.
Please note that this file is for personal use only. You can contact me if you have any issues getting your file.
DIY Halloween Treats
Start by cutting the witch dress and shoes from your card stock using your Cricut. Upload the SVG file above to your Cricut. Then add the words with the font “Breezy”. Put the words over the dress and attach them together.
You will have to insert a fine tip black pen into the appropriate slot to write the words. That is right! The Cricut will write the words and then cut your pieces all with one setup. Once you have a bunch of pieces cut, break out your glue dots.
You will need four glue dots per treat. Add two at one end of your candy and glue it to the dress as shown below. Add two more about 1/2 an inch down on the candy to hold it still. Again secure these to the dress.
Then to attach the feet, first use two glue dots to secure the package ends as shown below.
Then use two additional glue dots on top of that to add your feet.
If you have never used glue dots before, they are a non-permanent dry adhesive. So once your recipient receives these Halloween treat ideas, all they have to do is remove the dots with their finger. It is really easy, however, they are strong enough to hold together in a trick or treat bag.
Grab your supplies and get started on these Halloween candy ideas today. You will love the results and so with the littles!
You can actually substitute any colorful candy that you like for the leg portion. Look around for long skinny candy that will make the perfect witch legs. Then make your own Halloween candy ideas to impress the trick or treaters in your neighborhood.

The pattern doesn’t seem to be available anymore. 🙁 Is there somewhere/how else I can get it?
It is working for me on a desktop. Are you trying to open on mobile?
Does anyone have an idea how I can make this without a Circut?
You can just cut similar pieces by hand Jayne!
Thank you Angie Holden
Hi Angie,
I came across this template and LOVED it for our 5th grade class treats. I tried open up the template on Cricut Design but it keeps giving me a warning message that says “This Item is Not Available for Sale” and will not let me proceed.
Any idea what may be happening?
I bet they discontinued a portion of the design! So sorry about that!
Hi Angie,
Love this design and would like to use it for my class treats! Is there any way to download the design and then upload it? I am getting an error message which will not let me proceed with cutting the design?
Apparently Cricut has taken down the image! I am trying to do some research to see if we can get something similar back.
Was just trying to access this design and it looks like it’s “saved as private.” Any idea why?
I just fixed it! Cricut made some changes and I have to fix these on my end.
Very exciting! Thanks so much!
How can I get the SVGs of the witche dress and shoes. Would love to make these for my class. try signing up for newsletter but did not received anything
Try checking your spam. Or since you have a gmail, click all mail to find it.
Trying to cut these using my Cricut but the dress is wanting to cut at 7″. Seems to big. Is that the correct size? The shoes also seem too big. They are adorable! Thanks for sharing!
The dress should be about 2.5″ wide, there is a photo in the post that I hope will help you get the right size. I hope you share the finished project with us when you’re done 🙂
