For the last couple of years, I’ve had a small glass pitcher in my kitchen for holding Kitchen Utensils. I painted it orange to match the kitchen, but the longer I used it, I just didn’t like it. The hole in the top wasn’t big enough to fit all that I wanted to, into it. So I headed out last week to find something new to use for a Kitchen Utensil Holder.
I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, but found something that would work. This is the back of it.
This is the front. It was only $5, and I figured since it was the right size and shape that I could just keep it turned backwards and have the back be the front. And if I ever decide to use it for cookies, then I’ll just turn it around. 😉
I used Cricut Design Space to design what I wanted to put on the jar. While designing it, I couldn’t decide on what kind of font I wanted, so using my Cricut Explore, and my vinyl, I cut both and then chose one.
I went with the non italics/cursive font. Although, I love both of the fonts.
I measured to make sure I had my vinyl straight, and I applied it to the jar.
Once I pulled of the transfer tape, I made sure the vinyl was all on there smoothly.
Filled it up with my Utensils and I put it in it’s place on the kitchen counter.
I love this project, because once I decided what font I wanted and had the vinyl cut out, it really only took me about 5 minutes to do.
This is such a cute idea. I haven’t used my Cricut Explore yet for vinyl. Is it hard to transfer?
No, not hard at all! When you use the vinyl setting on the explore, it kiss cuts the vinyl for you, making it so easy! You just apply transfer tape to the top and then apply the vinyl. 🙂
Amy I love this. The vase I have on my counter holding mine just isn’t big enough – I might have to find something like this!
Thanks Summer! I found this for $5 at Taipan Trading. 🙂
Very cute!
