Oooh, have we got a treat for you today! Today I am excited to join in with other talented bloggers to share over 20 amazing vinyl projects with you all to celebrate the launch of Alexis of Persia Lou‘s new Craftsy Class – Silhouette Saavy: Venture into Vinyl, a brand new online video class that will teach you everything you need to get started cutting vinyl with your Silhouette. In the course, Alexis will walk you through creating eleven different vinyl projects. You will get all the cut files you need as well as video guidance for each step, and you will learn techniques such as layering adhesive vinyl, cutting large-scale decals, using the print and cut feature with printable heat transfer material, creating vinyl stencils for screen printing, and more.
Today I am excited to show you how easy it is to make a quick thankful jar for upcoming Thanksgiving. My family does this in a new way each year, but THIS year, we made it simple with a jar and some simple pieces of paper. Each day, we write the things we are grateful for and then on Thanksgiving, we pass the jar around the table and take turns reading what we wrote. Some are silly, some are sweet, but the mix just makes for some great conversation and helps us remember how blessed we are.
Let’s get going!
SUPPLIES:
Expressions Vinyl Adhesive Vinyl in Jet Black
Jar
Rad and Happy Thankful from Cricut Design Space Library
Directions:
1- Measure jar to know what size to make your word.
2- In Design Space, search “Thankful Rad and Happy” and this image will come up with a banner.
3-After bringing it up, I Â simply clicked the eye (view) over on the mat view and got rid of the banner.
4- Size “thankful” to how big you want it.
5- Load vinyl on mat and cut.
6- Using weeding tool, weed the outer part of the word out (everything around the word).
7- Put a piece of transfer tape over the top (Image 1)
8- Peel the transfer tape back and you should have your image only on there. (Image 2)
9-Using  transfer tape is so nice because you can see through it and know where you are putting your image. Place your image down on the jar. (Image 3)
10-After apply pressure with finger or with credit card, peel back transfer tape and you are all done! (image 4)
