This weekend we are getting together with our camping group and we are having a late Christmas party. We normally don't give presents but I wanted to give each family a little something.
When we bought our house, there were a whole bunch of 12x12 tiles in the workshop in our backyard. I vinyled a few for Christmas decorations recently and they turned out cute. I decided to personalize a tile for each family with their kids, names, pets and a few hobbies. Before anyone asks, yes, drinking wine is a hobby especially when we are camping.
After I brought four tiles inside, I cleaned each one really good with alcohol and then let them dry completely. Next, I opened my Silhouette program on my computer and tried to come up with a personal subway art for the family. After, I cut the 12x12 vinyl out, it was time to weed out the picture. A good transfer tape is the key to moving the vinyl to the tiles as easy as possible. Because I have shaky hands and my vision isn't great right now, four tiles took me most of the day. I really didn't mind because at least I know they will not have another one just like it!
I really don't mind sharing them because I know the recipients don't read my blog. I have really gotten my money out of my Silhouette Cameo. The price was a little steep at first but I have made Christmas decorations, personalized Bubba kegs for a Disney cruise, personalized beach bags and made most of the decorations for my daughter's house at Texas Tech.
