I wish I owned a cricut so I could cut out vinyl in the words and phrases that mean the most to me. Then create something out of them with my favorite colors on canvas's or wood, even glass.
This past weekend I went to visit my grandparents because my grandpa turned 90 last week. Of course I had to do a little shopping since we have NOTHING here in this small ghetto druggie town. I found a store called craft warehouse and instantly fell in love. They had EVERY project I could ever imagine/wanted to do. So, I grabbed a few things that were in my budget and I cannot wait to try them out!
Materials:
- glass block of your size
- string of mini lights
- iridescent tinsel (if wanted, I saw some blocks with just light/sand/marbles....)
- vinyl lettering of your choice (whether its your own or store bought)
Really the directions speak for themselves, but I thought I would write something out real quickly. Start out by making sure the block is clean and free of smudges and finger prints. Then position your quote how you want it and make a couple tick marks to make sure it is straight. Then peel off the baking (if it has one like mine did) and stick it to the block, starting at one corner. Using some sort of straight edge to make sure there are no bubbles, press down the rest of the vinyl.
Then add your lights and tinsel to your hearts desire!! I still have half a bag of tinsel left to make another one at some point. Also, like any lights, plug them in to make sure they actually do work.
Voila! You have your finished product in under 30 minutes! It looks really cool at night all plugged in!
