Personalized Easter Baskets with Vinyl
Personalized Easter baskets are my favorite.thing.ever. Â Love them! Â I purposefully visit Target, the Dollar Tree, and other stores to find items that can be functional, unique, and personalized with vinyl. Â My Silhouette Cameo never lets me down-and these Personalized Easter Baskets are the perfect project for beginning Silhouette and vinyl users.
Materials:
Plastic storage bins {found mine at Target in the Kids Rooms section}
Oracal 351 Vinyl in various colors
Silhouette Cameo cutting machine
Transfer paper
Directions:
1. Â Measure the length and width of your container. Â I usually subtract about an inch or so on each side because I don’t want the words to take up the WHOLE surface of the container. Â I want to be able to center it.
2. Â Set up a new file in your Silhouette Studio and choose the “Text” button on the left hand side. Â Type the name. Â Â After I type it, I size it to fit my bin and then I start playing with fonts. I don’t always know what font I want. Â So, I highlight the words, and change the font until I have the perfect one.
3. Â Place the vinyl on your mat, and load it into the machine. Â Set the cut to Vinyl and send it to the machine.
4. Â After you’ve cut it, weed the parts you don’t need. Â Cover it with Transfer paper, and line it up on your bin. Â Peel of the white backing. Â Smooth it on the surface to stick and remove the transfer paper. Â Your letters should be stuck to the plastic.
With so many free fonts all over Pinterest, creating a perfectly personalized Easter basket is super easy! Â You just download the fonts to your computer. Â The next time you open your Silhouette software, they will be in there ready to use.
