I have also created a video tutorial along with some directions on how I made my shirt and some pointers! Remember to please share what you created! Check me out on Facebook and Instagram and remember a pintrest pin is always appreciated!!

Football Shirt Supply List
- Cutting Machine or Glowforge and software
- Football Outline and Yard Lines (click on the link)
- Shirt – I used a Gildan 50/50 Heather Soft blend
- Stencil Material – You can use Acrylic, Vinyl or Mylar (I used a 5ml Mylar – It is re-usable
- Bleach
- Peroxide – to neutralize
- Something to go between the shirt layers while bleaching – cardboard, tote lid or garbage bag
- Spray bottle for the bleach
- Spray Adhesive – only needed for the mylar
Video Tutorial – Bleach Football Shirt

Here are the steps I took to make my bleach shirt

12PD Football and Yard lines

Step 1 – Load the free cutting file into your favorite cutting software. I used Mylar for my stencil. This material is re-usable. You will have to check for cut setting for your machine type. I could have also cut out of acrylic on the Glowforge if I was make a lot of shirts. If you plan on that please let me know. I can do something like that for you. Using vinyl is an option, remember it is single use.

Step 2 – Cut your material. Then weed the spots where you want the bleach to go.

Step 3 – It was a beautiful sunny day here in Wisconsin when I did my shirt so the bleach process did not take long. I put a garbage bag between the shirt layers. Then laid the shirt on the lawn. I then took my mylar and spray adhesive and applied it to the back of my stencil. Then I laid the stencils down on the shirt where I wanted them

Step 4 – Lets Bleach!!! Then I took my spritz bottle, I did you full bleach since my shirt was a blend. Now, spray bottles do matter. I bleached before and my spritzer nozzle was not the best. I find I like the fine misters. You can reuse the Dawn power wash bottles too! They work great. I then sprayed my shirt. If you watch in the video you will see it went fairly quickly!!! Once I had the football and yard lines the way I wanted them I pulled the stencils and sprayed the rest of the shirt. I also removed the spritzer out of the bottle and sprinkled the bleach on the shirt for an extra effect and style

Step 5 – Once your shirt is at the bleach level you want, take it and put it in a cold water peroxide bath. It does not take much. This neutralizes the bleaching process. Once that is done toss in the wash and dry!

Step 6 – You could add a saying like Game Day or something. I kept my more neutral. Wear and enjoy!!!

Crayons Make Me So Happy!
Hello Everyone! I am so excited to share with you my crayons! Crayons make me so happy so I had to make a jumbo crayon sign with my FREE File! You can bags, shirts, keychains, etc.

This weeks FREE Crayons can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 46. I have also created a video tutorial along with some directions on how I made my sign and some pointers! Remember to please share what you created! Check me out on Facebook and Instagram and remember a pintrest pin is always appreciated!!

Crayons Supply List
- Cutting Machine or Glowforge and software
- Crayons\Crayon Welcome (click on the link)
- Wood (prepped if you are laser cutting) – if you are doing vinyl, you could use basswood and cut on your cutting machine or foam board, etc. I will also be offering blanks for purchase as well!!
- Paint and Paint pens – i like paint pens for smaller areas. I used Posca
- Gorilla Super Glue Gel
- Make up sponges – used this vs a paint brush
- Ribbon
- Beads – I found mine painted at Hobby Lobby during a sale. You can also buy some from Amaozon
- Twine\Jute
Video Tutorial – JUMBO CRAYON SIGN

Here are the steps I took to make my crayon

Step 1 – Load the free cutting file into your favorite cutting software. For Cricut and Silhouette I set mine to 12×12. I used the Glowforge, however, most cutters can cut thin birch or chipboard (check your cutting machine).

Step 2 – Cut your wood or vinyl. On the Glowforge you need to mask your wood with paper transfer tape to protect from scorching.

Step 3 – Once you have your wood or vinyl cut do your weeding. For the Glowforge that means removing the mask from the wood. I found the Gorilla duct tape works amazing!!! You can also use weeding tools, pin pen, etc

Step 4 – Paint your items. I use the Posca paint pens for the small items. They are quick and easy!! I stuck the smaller items on tape so they do not move. For the large crayon I used acrylic paint and make-up sponges. To make light red for the wrapper I used Red paint and added orange and a drop of white. The orange helped it from turning pink.

Step 5 – Time to glue our items together. I use Gel super glue. I followed the PNG file that is included in your file download for placement, etc. I also show all of this in the video.

Step 6 – Finishing touches….I took a bead strand I picked up on sale (I have used the same strand for MANY projects and I still have some left!). I pulled off what I wanted and used twine and a piece of wire for a threader and made the hanger strand. I attached to the back of the crayon.

Messy bow. I love mess bows. You just cut strips of ribbon and lay them criss cross on top of each other. Some tie off with a zip tie. I just use twine and pull tight. I then attached to the bead hanger portion. I then took the crayon tags I made and attached to the bow. You might need to glue or double stick tape the bottom of the crayon tags to the crayon.

Step 9 – Look how adorable your sign is!!!! Please share!!!

This week I am sharing a fun Free Teacher Pencil with either Live Love Teach or Welcome cut file! You can change colors, mix media, put it on a board, etc.

This weeks FREE SVG can be found in the Freebie Library as number 46 Teacher Pencil. I am going to use the file and make a fun subway tile!! The video and steps are too are below. This project is quick, fun and inexpensive and would be an awesome little gift. You could put it on a shirt or duplicate to make a trio and decorate a mug, shirt, etc.

Let Your Creativity go…

Teacher Pencil DIY Steps….

Step 1 – Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the file elements as need for the project you are making. I like to use weeding boxes to help me weed my vinyl. Cut your vinyl out. Make sure all your pieces are cut before ejecting from the cutting machine.

For my tile I mixed glossy vinyl with glitter vinyl.

Step 2 – Use the alcohol and cotton pad and clean the surface of your tile. You want all the oils from hands, etc off of the tile and then set aside to dry.

Step 3 – Time to weed your vinyl. This project is fairly easy to weed. The thin lines for the pencils with a little hard. I used a tweezers to hold down an edge and then weed. I also left the words in there and cut to make it easier to place.

Step 4 – Time to layer the vinyl. I did the layering on the tile due to the different parts and to make sure they lined up properly. You can use parchment paper to assist or eye ball and go!!!

I did lay my eraser down wrong, however, i pulled it off and trimmed it and it was just fine!

Step 5 – Add ice and your drink and watch the fun color change!

Boho Rainbow Video Tutorial

Here is some other Ideas!

Here are the steps I took make the my color changing Tumbler

Step 1 – Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the file elements as need for the project you are making. I used weeding boxes to help me weed my vinyl. Cut your vinyl out. Make sure all your pieces are cut before ejecting from the cutting machine.

NOTE: You can do the leopard or not, the dots on the rainbow can be left off etc. Have fun with it!!

Step 2 – Use the alcohol and cotton pad and clean the surface of your cup. You want all the oils from hands, etc off of the cup. Set aside to dry.

Step 3 – Time to wee your vinyl. Because I was going on a cup my image was small. Somethings I needed to reverse weed. My transfer tape was pretty sticky and did not want to release my vinyl all the way. So there were a few spots where it took me a little longer to weed.

Step 4 – User your transfer tape parchment paper to line up your rainbow. I applied my my black leopard and dots after on the cup. However, I think it would have been way easier to do it before. So starting with the leopard and dots and apply to the rainbow strips. I used the parchment paper to line up my rainbows to make sure they were where I wanted them and attached it to the transfer tape. See video on how I did this.

Step 5 – Let’s apply our vinyl!!! I use one of my extra squeegees with the ridges to hold my cup. I took my transfer tape and applied it to the cup. Then I applied my words and your cup is done!!!

Step 6 – Add ice and your drink and watch the fun color change!

Video Tutorial – Christmas Tiered Tray – Christmas SVG

Here are the steps I took to make the Christmas Ornaments

Step 1 – Load the free cutting file into your favorite cutting software. For Cricut and Silhouette I set mine to 12×12. I used the Glowforge, however, most cutters can cut thin birch or chipboard (check your cutting machine). In the video I show some options for blank ideas as well!!!

Step 2 – Cut your wood or vinyl. On the Glowforge you need to mask your wood with paper transfer tape to protect from scorching. Also, you can paint your board ahead of time to save on painting later!!!

Step 3 – Once you have your wood or vinyl cut do your weeding. For the Glowforge that means removing the mask from the wood. I found the Gorilla duct tape works amazing!!! You can also use weeding tools, pin pen, etc

Step 4 – Paint your items. I use the Posca paint pens for the small items. They are quick and easy!! Tweezer helps hold it as well while you paint. For the larger items I used acrylic paint. For the scrabble tray glue 2 tiles together end to end. Do this for the other 2 tiles also. Then glue them together to form your tray. Then I painted mine green. For the stacked books, i made a box with a fake front to look like books. However, you can use a mini crate for the dollar tree or their mini bibles and wrap with cardstock or vinyl!

Step 5 – Time to glue our items together. I use Gel super glue. However, they make 3m tape that you can place on the back of the board to make it super easy to put on your wood. I followed the PNG file that is included in your file download for placement, etc. I also show all of this in the video.

Step 6 – Finishing touches….

Tag\beads – I used twine to thread my beads onto my tag. Then made a tassel to hang from the other end. Again, please check out the video for the demo. Then I glued a bow onto the front.

Scrabble tray – Glue your tiles onto your scrable tray

Letter to Santa – Attach your letters, stamp and sign. If the letters are to small for you to weed make a sticker!!! Or print on cardstock and glue on!!

Banner – I used red and white twine from hobby lobby and strung my little banners onto that.

Rolling pin – I wrapped that with a piece of twine to add that extra touch.

Step 9 – How cute did your pieces turn out!?!?! Please share on on my social media so I can see!!!
