Vinyl fun!!!

So I have made a few things using vinyl. They are all very simple.

I love framed stuff. I buy all my frames at the goodwill. The one below was a really ugly dark brown frame I sanded down and spray painted for a smooth finish.

What I did:

1. Painted the ugly ol'frame
2. I choose scrapbook paper I liked and used it a a back ground. I couldn't find one with a continuous pattern. When you need more than  one sheet you'll want to use a pattern  you can seamlessly stick near each other. Stripes work perfectly.
3. I taped the paper to the old picture that was in the frame.
4. Can you the etched VG? I did this using Armour Etch. I cut of a large "VG" onto contact paper using my cricut and a program called Sure Cuts a Lot. 
5. Next I peel out the "VG" letters so that I was left with a stencil. I used another LARGE piece of contact paper and transferred it to the FRONT side of the glass. I smoothed out any air bubbles and
   thickly "painted" in the letters with the Etching cream. After about 10 minutes I washed it off.
6. Lastly, I cut out the name, transferred it and put the whole thing together.  

What I did:

1. Sanded and painted an old frame...again
2.  I cut patterned paper in various shades of green into 2 X 2 squares.
3. I got out my handy dandy fat paintbrush and brushed Modge Podge (decoupage glue) on a small section of glass, covered the section with paper and then went over it again with modge podge. I did this until the whole frame was covered.
4. Once it was dry I cut out my vinyl letter using my cricut and transferred it and put it all together!

 What I did:

1. Choose a tile. (above is granite under $4)

2. Buy 1 metal "Shingle" about $80

3. Buy a stand strong enough for your tile.

4. Pick the letter for you title, cut it out on your Cricut.

5. Transfer your vinyl.

6. Adhere the metal with either super glue or 527 glue.
