DIY Christmas Themed Bottles & Mugs + Silhouette Black Friday Deals!

Earlier this year I got a Silhouette Cameo. And if you follow me on social media at all, you know I freakin’ love that thing!

The Silhouette machine plugs into your computer with a USB cable, just like a printer would. However, instead of printing, it uses a blade to cut paper, card stock, vinyl, even fabric and more! It does all kinds of cool stuff! Your project possibilities are endless!

Next, I’m thinking about etching our last name into our glassware so it never gets lost at a holiday party! Oh and my nails! I want to do some awesome snowflake nail designs. Oh and a fabric pendant banner! See, endless possibilities!

Scrapbook pages * Cards * Custom apparel * Vinyl décor * Etched glass * Sketch designs * Temporary tattoos * Paper crafts

Check out a few of the projects I’ve done with my Silhouette Cameo.

Check out the above links for ideas and tutorials.

I’ll show you very quickly how easy it is to cut and cover something in vinyl!

Vinyl is basically like a big sticker. There’s a paper backing you peel off and stick to anything you want. To cut it, you can stick it on a cutting mat or you can stick it directly into the machine!
