Kitchen Canister Vinyls

I did these a while back, but I still love them. I have seen a lot of these, but on glass and plastic containers. I don't think I have seen any on stainless steel canisters. 

I have 6 canisters, but the other 2, I'm still trying to figure out if I want to keep what's in them. 

Wanna know one of my kitchen helpers? I'm sure you have heard about or seen this before.

I keep drink stirrers in my canisters for leveling. Some use chopsticks.

Now, when I am measuring flour I don't have to use my finger or search for something to level it with. Clever!

Christmas Ornament

 I know it's past Christmas, but I figured I could tell y'all how I did the Christmas ornament (check this post out) I made for my son for our tree. I did one because I would like for him to have an ornament from every year, that way when he gets older, he'll have a lot of ornaments for his own tree. Anyways, I bought this clear plastic ornament from Michael's. Then, I just painted red, green, and white dots with acrylic paint, added his name cut out of vinyl. Then, I stuffed it with tinsel. The picture is pretty self-explanatory. I plan on doing a lot of this next Christmas for all the kiddies in our families. 

Child's Artwork Board

When I saw this cute idea over at Brown Paper Packages I knew I had to/wanted to make one for my lil man who started drawing. It was so super easy, and free! I had everything on hand. My parents let me have the scrap wood from a project they had just done. I also had the clothespins, paint, and the vinyl. It's a super simple project. Paint the wood and clothespins your choice of color. Then cut out what you want it to say in vinyl. Then, attach the clothespins to the board using hot glue, E6000, Gorilla glue, whatever. Put the vinyl on it. Sand the board and clothespins if desired. Add picture hangers in the back. Well, that's what I did. You could hang this several ways. Add your child's artwork. Then, stand back and admire! 

Batty for Halloween!

I got this SUPER cute idea from Crap I've Made. I LOVED the idea, and it would be perfect for our Halloween  party.

After I saw this, I went straight to the Cricut, found an image of a bat online that I liked, and then saved it as a picture on my comp. Then, I went into the Cricut, traced the image into the Sure Cuts A Lot program, and copied about twenty little bats, and then waited impatiently as they cut out on the machine. 

After that, all I did was place them in no particular pattern on the chandelier over the dining room table. Easy peasy. Then, I just draped some fake spiderweb material over it as well.
