Labeling Karate Gear

3/17/2019

 
My kids do karate and are in black belt training which means they have extra equipment with which they train. I wanted their stuff to stand out from all the other kids so I got crafty and made some tags, bags and labels using my crafty supplies and some ingenuity. Read along to hear about what I made.

Personalizing Christmas

Personalizing Stockings

...and their stockings were hung by the chimney with care
For Christmas this year, I purchased some stockings on Black Friday at Michael’s. I wanted to personalize them with everyone’s name.
I bought these cute plaid stockings with a large red cuff. I also bought an extra roll of Cotton Linen Cricut Iron on vinyl. On Cricut Design Space, I typed out the names and then decided on a system font: In Cricut Design Space there are Cricut Fonts you can purchase or the app can also use System Fonts you may already have.
The cuff measured 7” wide by 5” high. All the names are 1” high and I locked the height/width ratio to keep the sizes similar even though each name had different numbers of letters.
I cut out the vinyl using my Expression Air on the iron-on setting with mirror on selected. I then used my iron to adhere the vinyl onto the cuff. I used extra time with the heat so I could make sure the vinyl adhered to the thick felt.
They came out cute and I can’t wait to hang them up!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope this inspired you to personalize your Holiday Decor.

Birthday Book Bags

Personalized Birthday Gifts

I love birthdays ... from cake to presents to celebrating with friends and family; birthdays are just a lot of fun. Having two kids means lots of birthday parties which means lots of buying birthday gifts. For birthday gifts, I prefer to give something that is personal and can be used over and over. This cycle of birthdays, I’m making personalized tote bags. I already posted on this, here but I have another example including what I put into the whole gift. For this project, I used my Cricut Explore Air, Cricut Iron On Lite, Cricut Vinyl to make: a personalized tote bag, pencil box and bookmark. I also made two birthday cards to go with these presents. Lots of ideas here so I will break them down as I hope this post will leave you inspired to make some birthday gifts.

Personalized Book Bag

I actually started to increase my crafting when my children began attending a lot of birthday parties. I wanted to give gifts that were meaningful, personalized and would help parents out, too. One of the gifts I created was a library book bag. Using the tools and materials I had along with blank tote bags I could pick up from my local craft store, I made tote bags and filled them with books, bookmarks, stickers and sticker books. In this post, I will show you how I made a personalized tote bag.

Personalized Birthday Apron

1/2/2018

 
For birthday gifts, I like to make personalized gifts especially for children with unusual names or spellings where personalized gifts are not readily available in stores. One idea I had was to make an apron and include the child's name and an fun image. The whole birthday gift would be centered around baking and decorating cookies.

Pool Party Birthday- Part 1

7/17/2017

 

Party Favors

Party favors can be difficult to grapple with. How does one provide a great thank you to your guests, but make sure it's not too expensive or cheap or tossed away later on. Each party I throw, I really try to make the party favors connect to the theme and be comprised of items the guests will continue to enjoy even after the party is done. For this year's birthday party theme of pool party, we came up with the idea of pool bags and towels. I wanted to make the bags special and had the thought of personalizing them for each guest. This may seem like a daunting task, but with time and organization and a Cricut, I knew I could get it done.
