Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

A simple and easy project for the cutting machine beginners. Using a basic heart SVG/Print Art design and a font from you cutting machine software turns a plain mason jar into a decorative accessory for your home.

Step 1:

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning.

Step 2:

Remove the lid and band from your jar. Chalk paint the outside of your mason jar and allow to dry approx 10-20min . Then add a coat of the clear wax. Allow to dry 10 -20 min.

Step 3:

While your project is drying let’s create the decal. Bring the heart SVG/print art design into you cutting machine’s software program. Resize the heart to approx 1.5” x 1.7” . Cut design using a scrap vinyl color of choice.

*FOR SILHOUETTE CAMEO OWNERS/USERS: IF YOUR SILHOUETTE MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED TO ALLOW WORKING WITH AN SVG (CUTTABLE) FILE.. YOU CAN WORK AROUND THIS BY DOWNLOADING THE PRINT ART DESIGN AS A JPEG OR PNG FILE. YOU WILL FIND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO WORK AROUND TO “CUT” YOUR DESIGN BY REVIEWING STEP 4 OF MY THANKSGIVING THEMED WOOD ART/SVG PROJECT TUTORIAL.

Step 4:

Create the words: Bless You by using a font from your cutting machine software program. Per your cutting machine's software instructions. ( Font used in this tutorial: Script MJ Bold) Size the words as follows:

Bless 3” x2”

You 1.95” x 2.160”

Then group the words as shown in picture and size to 3.540” x 3.435”

Cut from any color vinyl of choice. ( Black vinyl was used in this tutorial)

Step 5:

Weed your cut vinyl of the heart and words for a decal and apply your transfer tape.
(WEEDING VINYL IS THE PROCESS OF REMOVING THE UNWANTED VINYL FROM YOUR CUT DESIGN)
