Craft Corner: Yarn is Cheaper Than Therapy Cup, and Birthday Gift Idea

Yarn Is Cheaper than Therapy Mug

This was the month for gifts,  And craftiness is where I'm at right now.  So if you know me better be prepared to give me ideas on the types of gifts you want.

Got a knitter in your circle? This gift idea is perfect for those crafters that have every colour of yarn and knitting accessory made. Again find your font on DaFont, and create with your Silhouette Cameo machine. You may have to play around with the offset button to get just the right letter thickness. I had a few goes at this one before I got it right.

This was a last minute gift for a Birthday party my daughter was invited to. The child's name written on a glass storage container, great for filling with anything from candy to hair accessories.

Have fun crafting! 

Craft Corner: Hello Beautiful Mug Design, Made With a Silhouette Cameo

Hello Beautiful!

Who wouldn't want to wake up to a mug Like this?

You can get the font for free from daFont here: https://www.dafont.com/

I was able to buy this particular one from the Silhouette store for half price when they had a sale.
I'm having way too much fun with this new craft. Pop me a message if you have ideas or suggestions.

Craft Corner: Dorm Decor Pillow, Made With a Silhouette Cameo 3

Dorm Decor, Dorm Sweet Dorm pillowcase

I created this pillowcase for my best friends son who is now in university.

It was so much fun that I also made one for a neighbours son! It is easy to find cost-effective pillowcases in packs of two, most students in a small dorm only need one so I was able to utilise the other one for another gift.

It's easy to find the font you want by looking at examples online and then going to  https://www.dafont.com/and finding your match.

What are you waiting for go get your craft on!

Craft Corner: Silhouette Dog pillow Idea

Do you have a dog loving person in your life?

I am always looking to make unique and fun gifts for the people I know. Since I bought the Silhouette making this has become so much easier to do!

This is one such project I created for my neighbours, they recently adopted a dog and it became their "best friend." So I thought it fitting to make them something to commemorate their special pet.


This project was quick and easy, I found the font and a preformed pillow. I have never tried to use my press with such a bulky item, but it worked fabulously! I have the clamshell style heat press from Middle Graphics, see picture below. This was a costly purchase but so well worth it!

 I would not attempt this with an iron.





If you are looking for a fast and fun gift this may just be what you are looking for.
