Gift Idea

Dollar Store Gift

I was browsing a dollar store last week, Dollar Tree to be specific. I was just quickly running 

in there to grab some halloween themed treat bags. Luckily I found the last pack. That was my halloween treat giveaway, with candy inside of course. I was on my way to check out when I 

spotted this...

A neoprene e-reader sleeve for $1.00, score!!! Not the actual Kindle. Sorry, had to be specific, just in case. Immediately I thought of an idea, so now I share with you! This can be a great stocking stuffer. 

What you'll need:

1. Sleeve
2. Cricut or any cutting machine
3. Keep calm and read on svg download
4. Iron-on vinyl
5. An iron

I get all my vinyl from here, you just need to decide the amount or size you want to buy. You can download the Keep Calm svg here.  

I cut my vinyl to a 5x7 size, trust me you don't want to waste it. I set it on my mat with the glossy side of the vinyl down to the sticky side of my mat. Took my svg file into Sure Cuts A lot software. I got lucky and purchased the software way before Cricut got involved with them, so I am still able to cut anything I want no cartridge needed! The image has to be flipped for it to cut correctly.

You will remove the outer vinyl that you don't need. Same process as wall vinyl. Place your cut on the E-reader sleeve so it reads correctly. Place a lightweight fabric over your sticker and iron it with no steam. Press the iron firmly on the overall design for about 30-45 seconds. Remove the clear plastic sticker quickly after you have ironed it. You're done!

This iron-on vinyl is perfect for making T-shirts with your own design as well. You will be hooked! Enjoy!!
