Cricut Vinyl Projects
Use Chalkboard vinyl to create a fun menu board.
This project gives a quick demonstration of using chalkboard vinyl and a picture frame to make a board for writing notes on.
Outdoor Vicut vinyl and those labeled as gloss permanent are reasonably dishwasher safe. However we recommend vinyl to be primarily used for decorationa and handwash if you really want to serve off it.
This Valentines day project uses some basic fonts along with a Doodle bat and some imbelishments from the craft store. We used the fonts Arial, Arial Black, Arial Naroow, and DB Heart Flourish. We also used SCAL to make the set up and execution of the cutting much easier.
The magnet tiles are one of our simpler vinyl projects. In this case we used some two inch tiles purchased from Lowes. They come in a sheet, so you get quite a few for just a couple bucks. We then used a dingbat font with Sure Cuts A Lot to get a cute little sillhouette. After application of the vinyl to the tile you just hot glue a magnet to the back and your done.
In our houshold we do quite a bit of laundry. To help us keep track of what needs to go where we whipped up a few quick signs using our Cricut and some vinyl. Simply measure the area of your basket that can accept the vinyl then cut the appropriate size lettering on your Cricut. Stick it on your basket and your ready to get your laundry done or you could just forget the laundry and gwt back to work on more vinyl projects.
This is one of our vinyl projects that works great as a decoration in your own home and also works well in a pinch as a gift for a friend or as a wedding gift. You can use any picture frame. You will want to consider if their will be anything left in the picture frame. If so you will want to make your lettering corespond to the background. Make this decision and then cut your lettering to that size. Apply it to the glass and you're good to go.
Vinyl is great for making seasonal projects. In this project we make a set of blocks to use as a Halloween decoration. We have chosen the phrase "trick or treat" a popular Halloween saying to say the least. The project is pretty simple, just check out the video and see how easy it is.
This is one of our very versatile vinyl projects. We have called it "fall blocks" primarily because we have chosen some fall colors and a phrase that works well with Thanksgiving and the fall and winter holidays. Clustering together blocks with words on them is a quick and simple way to make decorations for any season.
