Cricut Vinyl Decorated Flameless Candles

    After I was able to decorated my laptop and it go fairly smoothly, I decided that I could also decorate some candles for a few gifts.  I once again designed each candle on my Gypsy (what would I do without her?!?!).  Since I recieved my Gypsy last year, I have not made one cut with my Cricut without her.  She makes it oh so easy!

    Back to my project. I used black vinyl on some of the candles and brown on a few others.  I would have been totally unable to do this without transfer paper.  I arranged everything on my Gypsy exactly as it should go and the Cricut cut it accordingly.  It was a little tricky at times applying the vinyl to a curved surface, but taking my time I was able to arrange everything as I wanted it.  It actually took far longer for my brain to come up with designs that I was happy with.  I could not get the creative juices flowing! Thanks for looking!

 

Laptop Front Decorated with Vinyl

It has been a long time since I have posted. My scrapping space along with my time has been extremely limited. I had not tried cutting vinyl with my cricut before and heard it wasn't nearly as complicated as I thought. I heard right! For my first project, I decorated my laptop. I used my Gypsy to design and get just the right size for my project. Hooked my Gypsy to my Cricut and set my pressure and speed on medium and my blade on 4. It cut like a charm! It kiss-cut (a cut that cuts through the vinyl but not the backing of the vinyl) exactly like it was suppose to. I was well-pleased!
