December Pinterest Challenge-- Decorating Glass with Vinyl

Welcome to the December Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen!



This month I was searching for some quick and easy Christmas gift ideas when I saw this pin on Pinterest.  Unfortunately it led to an Etsy site but I figured I could make something just like it using my Circut and an old photo frame.


First I searched for free SVG Christmas themed files that I could use.  Then settled on this nativity scene. I knew I wanted the words O Holy Night under them and found this great file.

Once I had them both in my Cricut Design space mat and sized to just a bit smaller than my glass I was ready to cut it out in vinyl.


Then I weeded out all the parts of the image I didn't want on my glass.


I laid my glass over my design to get an idea of where I wanted to place it.


Then using transfer tape I gently peeled up my image and adhered it to my glass one small corner at a time making sure to rub out as many air bubbles as I possibly could.


I loved it!!

I had an odd sized frame so I decided to cut some gold wrapping paper to fit behind the glass and give my picture a nice finished look.



I then went on to make other pictures using various themes.  I sure hope our family members enjoy their gifts.  The hardest part was getting most of the bubbles out of the vinyl!




I just love these Pinterest Challenges!  They always get us to try something fun and new.

  2. Brilliant, and what lovely personal gifts they make too.
    I have cutting machine envy - I'm still a scissors or craft knife girl at the moment!

    1. Aw, thanks! The hardest part is getting all the bubbles to disappear. My first attempt ended was ripped up and I tried again.

  4. What wonderful gifts! Wish I was on your list. I must be the only blogger without a Circuit machine, maybe Santa will bring me one? Particularly like O Holy Night, the true meaning of the holiday.

  9. Such a great gift! I agree - the hardest party is getting those bubbles out. I read somewhere to use a pin to pierce the vinyl to help get them out.

    1. I've had mine a year and it took me just about that long to really tackle using vinyl. :)
