Hey hey! It's time for another round of Monday Made Its. Do you like how this has become a noun?
Now for my first Monday Made It-one of my very favorite gifts to make.
I made this for a friend to bring to a wedding shower. Stick a couple of dish towels or recipes and cooking utensils in, and you've got the best gift ever.
I make the cutout on my Silhouette and then place it on the dish. I use etching cream from Hobby Lobby. I dab it on with a small foam brush. It only takes 5 minutes to set. Wash it well before removing the vinyl, and you're good to go.
Monday Made It #2 is something I have zero use for at this exact moment, but it was too cool not to share.
A friend of mine is decorating her classroom using a Dick and Jane/chalkboard feel and wanted some frames to go on her baskets. I made her some frames (and I loved them so much I'm planning some chalkboard/back to school mini sets), but then I thought about what a HUGE pain it would be for her to cut them out. I decided to see if my trusty Silhouette would come to the rescue. And it did. Of course. Here's a quick
video tutorial on how I used got my Silhouette to recognize a png file and then use the print and cut feature to cut it out.
Monday Made It #3 was inspired by my new luggage. Let's take just a minute to admire it, okay?
I really love how the bag has this cover flap thing on the back, so you slide it directly on your rolling suitcase handle. I threw the coffee cup in so you could see how big this bag is. It's a beast which is great since I'm a chronic overpacker. It came with a strap, too. And it's pretty.
I loooooved the colors of this set, so I decided to make a mini set using similar shades. You can find it in
my TPT store.
