This Anchor Bag project brought to you by Silhouette // Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY along with the April PromotionSilhouette-Portrait-Giveaway

Anchor Bag with Silhouette Printable Heat Transfer Material

But, before we get to that… I have a super cool new product from Silhouette to share with you! PRINTABLE Heat Transfer Material!

This is the coolest stuff… You can print directly on it, cut it out with your Silhouette and then iron it on to most types of fabric. I added a little flair to a canvas bag that I had sitting around and I LOVE it now.

What makes the anchor so fun is that I was able to take a fun polka-dot pattern from the Silhouette Shop and add it to a basic anchor shape to transform it into something a little extra special.

I created the anchor and then in the NEW and improved Silhouette Studio,  I used the print and cut option and then added Registration Marks to my design.

When I printed my out my design the registration marks are also printed and that is how the Silhouette machine can then cut out your printed design.

I cut out the anchor on my Silhouette CAMEO…

Then ironed it on to my bag following the package directions. I then used my finger nail to rough up the anchor a bit so that it looked a little worn.

It was as simple as that. It took more time trying to decide what image I wanted on the bag than actually making the project!

How fun is that?!

I love how the bag looks now and I have all kinds of fun ideas now floating around in my head for other projects.

Simple DIY Art

4 · · 8 Comments

Simple DIY Art // Hey all! It’s Jenn from My Fabuless Life! Last month I shared my embroidery hoop bulletin board I did for my daughter’s big girl bedroom, and since then, I’ve caught the makeover fever, because I’ve moved onto my master bedroom and am here to show you a quick, simple art project you can do for less than $10. Finding large scale art for those bigger walls can get expensive, which is why I love creating my own. You can customize everything about it, for next to nothing!

simple art

I started with a 4′ x 4′ piece of thin, pine plywood from my home improvement store (in the lumber section with the peg board), and stained the whole thing. If you’re more into the painted look, you can do that too, it’s up to you.

wood art

My original plan was just to put the text right on the wood (which you’ll notice below), but after I wrote directly on the wood, it was hard to see, so I got out the paint. I wanted a really unique, sort of “messy” look, so I just grabbed one of my favorite sponge rollers and roughly rolled out the paint in the pattern I wanted. I let that coat dry, added another, and filled in some spots with a paint brush, and then it was time for the writing.

diy art 3

Remember, I tried writing first, so this picture is a little backwards. You’ll notice though, that if you’re writing with white, it would be just fine. Anyway, I measured for where I wanted the writing to go, and then drew a line with chalk so that the text wouldn’t be all over the place.  Then, I wrote out my phrase with chalk and wrote right over it with a gold paint pen. After the gold was dry, I just wiped off the remaining chalk with a damp cloth.

diy art 2

I did mine free hand, but if you’d rather use one of your favorite fonts, this method is AWESOME for transferring the font to your board.

diy art

To hang it, I just hot glued a pop tab to the back of the wood like a picture hanger and hung it on a little nail. And that’s it! Super simple art!!

Easter Buddies + An Easter Pinterest Party

// Easter Buddies with Free Printable // 

Easter-Egg-Animals-with-free-printable-2

I have decided that when it comes to candy and all around cuteness… Easter is my favorite holiday.  I mean really, Cadbury Mini Eggs, Jelly Beans, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, Cadbury Creme Eggs, black jelly beans, the list could go on and on. Not to mention all of the cute basket of Easter goodies that they have available at the stores these days.

I’m a sucker for fun plastic eggs and I found this CUTE set of animal Easter eggs at Target and thought it would be perfect little goodie for my kiddos. I could add a fun curled up message along with the candy inside, add some feet to the bottom of the plastic eggs and they turn them into something extra special…

This project is super quick and with my free printable, you can make them up in a snap! Here’s what you will need…

Supply List

Instructions

First,  you will need to print the free printable sayings on just your basic printer paper…

Easter-Buddy's-Printables-from-#whipperberry

You can download the printable HERE.

Once you have that printed, you will need to use scissors or a paper cutter to cut out the strips and then curl them around a pencil…

Easter-Egg-Animals-with-free-printable-6

Next cut out some small 1- 1 1/2 inch hearts to use as the feet for your little animal eggs…

Easter-Egg-Animals-with-free-printable-13

I used my Cricut Explore, but you could easily use any cutting machine or free hand it as well.  Then you will use your Elmer’s Craft Bond foam circles to affix the feet to the egg. These little foam adhesives are PERFECT for this project.

They have just the right amount of hold to keep those little buddies standing strait without hardly any fuss.  And just like that, you’re a rock star!

Add some Cadbury Mini Eggs and you’re really ROCKIN’!  There you have it, this simple yet super fun Easter Buddy project…
