This DIY Ornament is an easy holiday Cricut Craft Idea. It is a great homemade Christmas gift craft idea.
Materials
- Flat round fillable ornament
- 1 package of faux snow filler balls (dollar tree)
- ½ package of faux snow filler glitter flakes (dollar tree)
- Black permanent adhesive vinyl
- Transfer tape
- Let It Snow SVG file
- Scraper
- Weeding Tool
- Scissors
Instructions
- To make this ornament, start by layering the faux snow filler into your fillable ornament. We alternated the balls and the glitter flakes, then shook everything together to disperse.
- For the vinyl, open your SVG file in your cutting software and resize, ensuring that you have it sized correctly for the ornaments you are using. Our ornaments were 3x3 so I resized the SVG to approx. 2.5 inches wide. Make sure that the aspect ratio is locked when you resize so the design holds its dimensions.
- For two ornaments, add two copies of the design and resize your design area, if necessary.
- Cut a piece of vinyl to fit one design, or two, if you are doing two.
Adhere the vinyl to your cutting mat and load it into the machine. - Check your cut settings, use the settings recommended from your machine for permanent vinyl.
- Cut out your SVG, then weed out all of the excess vinyl, careful to weed the inside of the letters and snowflakes, as well.
- Cut a piece of transfer tape to fit the design.
- Adhere the transfer tape to the front of the cut vinyl, using a scraper or something similar to smooth everything out and adhere the vinyl to the transfer tape.
- Position the vinyl onto your ornament, doing your best to make it centered how you want it.
- Use your scraper to lightly scrape over the vinyl pieces under the transfer tape, so that they adhere to the ornament.
- Remove the transfer tape.
