Homemade Stickers

Remember the days when you would get a Gold Star for good behavior, or get to put a smiley face next to a chore you completed? Why not bring the good times back with some homemade stickers? Simply cut some fun shapes that appeal to your child using vinyl! We used the Best of Pixar Cricut Cartridge and made a few rows of stickers we can use any time. It's quick, easy, and completely personable.



Did we mention that you get a FREE CRICUT TRIMMER when you buy Best Of Pixar at Oh My Crafts? Why wait? Grab the kids and get started on some homemade stickers today!

Try something fun with Vinyl!

Happy Graduation!

Tell your Graduate congratulations with a vinyl'd note on their car! Make it big, make it small, it doesn't matter. Just make it known. Personalize your note with their school colors or include their middle name for all the world to see!



Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS to all those parent's with Graduates. You deserve a high-five, too!

Have fun with Vinyl!

Bring On The Projects!

This just in! Glass Etching with VINYL! New to Vinyl - don't you worry. We have step-by-step instructions including your list of needs! Never Etched using Vinyl before? Add this technique to your plethora of skills!


Glass Etching
Designed by OMC designer Whitney

Supplies:
·        Vinyl and Transfer Tape (buy it at Oh My Crafts by the sheet or the roll) 
·        Armour Etch Glass Cream and paintbrush (Buy it at Oh My Crafts)
·        Glass  (Glass Coaster, Pyrex Dish, Vase, Trifle Bowl, Wine Glasses, etc… the possibilities are endless)


1.      Cut the image you would like to use as a stencil with any craft cutter.  This image is “Kiss” from Cricut’s Tie the Knot cartridge cut at 2” and low pressure.  

 
2.      Peel away the shapes leaving the negative space in one piece.


3.      Apply the sticky side of the transfer tape to the front of the vinyl.


4.      Peel away vinyl backing.

 
5.      Place vinyl on glass surface, press down firmly and take off transfer tape.

Tip: Make sure there are no bubbles around the opening of the images; however, bubbles in the solid part of the vinyl do not matter.

6.      Clean the exposed part of the glass then apply a thick layer of etching cream.  Let the cream sit for about ten minutes.

7.      Rinse cream completely off with water and take off the vinyl.  Clean the glass and you’re done! 

Behind the glass is Kanban Crafts Mirror Paper.  This is a great way to make the etching really stand out!
