Wordless Wednesday: We Heart Spaghetti

Chalkboard Paint and Paper Flowers

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.

To show my boys' teachers how much I appreciate them, I put together a little happy for them.

A chalkboard flower pot with some SUPER cute paper flowers

I started with a terra cotta pot, chalkboard paint, and contact paper.
I used strips of contact paper to make a square.
Then I painted the chalkboard paint inside the square.While the paint is drying, wrap some green paper around three pencils for each pot. Use hot glue or another kind of adhesive to get the paper to wrap around the pencils. Cut out some cute flowers {3 per pot} either with a Cricut or just using a pair of scissors.
Add a center circle to the flower and hot glue the flowers onto your stems.
Stick the flowers into your pot {I hot glued mine to make them more secure} and add paper grass around them.
Write the teacher's name with a piece of chalk.
Add in a SUPER cute saying and a few extra pieces of chalk.

And you have a great personalized Teacher Appreciation gift!

Craftiness

This tube of vinyl came in the mail a few weeks ago. Last week, I finally got my cricut out and tried cutting some vinyl.

It was SUPER easy to do!

I made this K for my car with outdoor vinyl.
And I made this {SUPER} cute number 6 for my candle holder that was in desperate need of a makeover.
There are so many other crafty vinyl ideas floating around in my head and waiting to be discovered on the internet.
*walls*
*lampshades*
*vases*
*plates*
I think I just opened up a 'big can of craftiness worms'!

What kind of crafts do you like to do with vinyl?
