• Chalkboard Paper

Here is a picture of my new eraser holder for school. I used a glass cup from Dollar Tree. The rest of the materials were from Michaels. I started out by spray painting the terracotta pot, saucer, and wooden ball. After they dried, I attached them glass cup to the pot and the ball to the saucer with E-6000 glue. I used my Mod Podge to attach the ribbons. Finally, I cut the mustache from vinyl with my Silhouette. I just bought the Amy Chomas marker holder and used a pink Sharpie paint pen to draw the word "erasers" on the chalk board paper.  

My new T-shirt

Home T-shirt

This is the new t-shirt I made using my Silhouette and iron-on vinyl. This was the first time I used iron-on vinyl and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The layering made me nervous. I did the Texas first, then the home, and finally the heart. I got the images from the Silhouette online store. I followed this tutorial which made it very easy. Iron-on vinyl tutorial There are a few things to remember when you use iron-on vinyl.

• The shiny side goes down
• Make sure you mirror your images and text 

Overall, I'm pleased with the results. 

Pencil holders for School

Getting ready for school, I decided to make some new pencil holders. For the first pencil holder,  I had an old holder laying around. I was worried that I would have trouble gluing down the crayons, so I wrapped it in a piece of black paper. I used my glue-gun and glued down the crayons all around it. I used some ribbon that I bought at Michaels to dress up the bottom and make it look a little bit cuter. All in all, I liked the way it turned out.
