Fall Pillow
Hi everyone!! I'm excited to share with you a fun fall pillow! I love the heat transfer t-shirt vinyl.

It's so fun and it's easy to switch out after each holiday.This is how I made it:1) I first sketch out what words, sizes and colors on a piece of paper. I know it sounds silly but to get things to fit, it's a must.2) Then I separated the words by color and used some fun fonts on my Silhouette studio program.
3) Next I cut the word

Flower Vases Turned Fall Decor
We all have at least one of these flower vases laying around right? You get flowers in them and then they are so tall and narrow you don't know how to use them again....until now.First step is simple but so important, clean the vases very well so that the vinyl adheres.Then take a few colors of Oracal 631 (3 or more) and cut them in to strips 12 inches long. I cut them in 1/4 inch 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch wide strips.Next start wrapping them around the vases I kept a color order but varied th
