Below you will find all of the projects of the 2026 Great Halloween Spooktacular. The pictures of the bonus items you receive with the VIP PASS are at the bottom. Though the event has passed, with a free pass you had 24 hours to download that day’s pattern and watch the instructional video. The VIP Pass lets you enjoy every workshop on your own schedule and includes printable workbooks, templates, transcripts, exclusive bonuses, and more.
Once the day of the project is past, the only way you can get the project is to buy a VIP PASS. These are still available even though the Spooktacular has ended.
My friend Lucy of PaperGlitterGlue again asked me to be one of her guest presenters for the 2026 Great Halloween Spooktacular. This year we were back to sneak peeks! Even the other presenters didn’t know what the other projects were until the day of their presentation. August 20th was the date of my presentation, Make Your Own Orbweb Tower. And yes, it included a how-to video!!
The 2026 Great Halloween Spooktacular is a completely FREE online celebration of creative, crafty Halloween fun, happening August 10–29! It’s a cozy, no-pressure way to dive into spooky season — just you, your cutting machine, and a swirl of festive fun. Whether you’re crafting gifts, cards, or Halloween décor, you’ll feel inspired, supported, and proud of what you make.
✨ Each of the 20 workshops includes a step-by-step video
📝 A printable workbook with supply list & instructions
👻 SVG files to use with your cutting machine
If you’d like access to all the workshops anytime after the presentation dates — plus crafting goodies like a printable workbook, templates, transcripts, and speaker bonuses — you can also grab the VIP Pass . We’ll be crafting with a colorful crew of spirited, Halloween-loving makers — a community bubbling with creativity and spooky fun — and it wouldn’t be the same without you.
*** Exclusive Bonus, ONLY For My Followers: ***

Lucy’s Great Halloween Spooktacular always has AMAZING projects. I can’t wait!!
Jackie just wanted to see if you got the email I forwarded you purchasing the vip pass through your link. Also so excited for this years spooktacular.
Brenda, I sent out the file late last night to everyone who had bought their VIP pass through my links. Unfortunately, I could not use the forwarded receipts as several people sent me receipts of VIP passes that were not purchased through my links so I had to ask for a list of purchasers. You were on that list, however, so if you don’t see an email from my I suggest looking through your spam folder. At the end of the Spooktacular I will ask for an updated list and send out the bonus file to anyone who buys a VIP pass using my links in August.
Hi Jacki,
I received the file an hour ago. My email provider must be slow or delayed. Thanks so much look forward to making this.
Hello Jackie,
Thank you for sending the file for The Great Halloween Spooktackular.
I downloaded the files but can’t open the svg parts of the file.
Will they open on the 10th?
Thank you for any help.
Hi Luann. They come in a zipped file. You need to extract or “unzip” it. I would need to know whether you are on Windows or another system to help you further. You can reach out to me at Jackie@acottageintheforest.com
