LAST CHANCE: Enter my Happy Hundred Give-away by midnight tonight! Winner will be announced tomorrow.
It's been a while since I've done a vinyl project, so I decided to make this scripture tile for my Dad's birthday tomorrow. (Hope you're not reading this, Dad!) My Dad is a stake president, and this is his favorite scripture. I thought it might be a nice addition to his office.
However... I had a couple of problems:
1. I do not have any cricut tools, and I'm beginning to wish I did. Peeling off the tiny little pieces of vinyl is a pain! Those dots on the i... oh man! I need one of those scraping tools, and bad. I kept tearing and having to re-cut pieces. Do any of you with the scraping tool thingy find this to be essential?
2. I cut my vinyl on too low of a pressure setting, or maybe the needle is just getting dull. Either way, it was NOT peeling easily. All in all, this innocent-looking tile took me about 3 hours to finish!! Thank goodness my son took a long nap. What a sweetheart. He probably realized his Mom needed extra craft time!!
Not too shabby, right? I tried to keep it simple and clean cut for my Dad. Nothing too fancy. And now for convincing the hubs that I need some cricut tools!!
He's going to love this! It turned out so good.
ReplyDeletehere's a tip I've found that helps. remove all the extra vinyl from the paper - leaving the words. Take a piece of clear contact paper to transfer from the paper to your project. You can even draw a staight line on your contact paper with black sharpie to keep it all lined up.
