Ingredients
- Cricut Joy or Cricut Maker with Fine Point Blade
- Standard grip mat
- Cricut Premium Vinyl Permanent in black
- 3 Mason Jars lids removed 16oz
- Scissors
- Weeder tool
- Americana Chalky Finish for Glass in Lace
- Paintbrush
Instructions
Preparing the Jars
- Apply a thin coat of chalky finish paint to each of the mason jars.
Preparing the Vinyl Lettering
- On a blank canvas, select the text icon from the toolbar and type GROW.
- Change the font to “Little White Lies”. With the word highlighted, adjust the letter spacing to 0.7.
- Stretch the lettering by clicking on the lock symbol above the size section and adjusting the height to 1.7” while keeping the width the same.
- Next, click on the unlock symbol and adjust the word height to 2”.
- With the word highlighted, click on the “Weld” button.
- Complete the same for the other words: THRIVE and BLOOM.
- Select “Make It” in Design Space.
- Follow prompts for loading the mat into the Cricut Maker or Cricut Joy and cutting the Premium Vinyl. Remove the Premium Vinyl from the mat when done.
- Cut around each word with a pair of scissors. Using the weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl around the cut images and discard.
Assembling the Jars
- Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the text.
- Peel away the transfer tape backing but ensure the transfer tape is not overly sticky.
- Place the transfer tape overtop of the cut word. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.
- Peel away the vinyl backing and position the phrase with the transfer tape on to the smooth side of a jar and press in place.
- Slowly and carefully remove the transfer tape leaving the vinyl image on the jar.
- To finish, fill the containers with pretty peonies.
