Cowboy Ghost Sign Supply List

Boo Y’all Cowboy Ghost SVG from Printable Cuttable Creatables
3mm Basswood
xTool Laser Cutting Machine
Chalk Paint in Denim Blue, White, Gray, Orange, and Yellow
Rustic Craft Pallet
Wood Glue

Once it’s all done you can hang it up or display it on a mantle to create adorable Halloween decor! Have fun crafting and creating!

Size the ghost and the text so it will fit your pallet. I used the “assembled” ghost svg and set all the lines to cut. I used two 12 by 12 inch sheets of basswood and cut the ghost from one sheet and the text from the other. Cut them using the settings on your machine.

I usually paint my wood before I cut it, but since I cut everything at once so that the pieces could “nest” inside each other I painted after cutting. I like to separate the pieces by the color I want to use on them and then paint them one color at a time. Let the paint dry completely and apply a second application if necessary.

Glue the pieces together, using small dots of glue. Then assemble the ghost and the text on the background pallet. Use wood glue to adhere them, and place something heavy (I use books) on top while it dries.

3 Ways to Make DIY Laser Cut Earrings

3 Ways to Make DIY Laser Cut Earrings

Ciao amici! I’m stopping by from Morena’s Corner to show you three ways you can make gorgeous DIY laser cut earrings using just one file from Printable Cuttable Creatables! This file comes with a variety of stunning earring SVG designs that you can customize in different ways.

Scroll Earring Supply List

Scroll Earring SVG Files
3MM Basswood and 1.5 MM Basswood
Acrylic Paint
HTV Laser Safe Vinyl
Transparent Glitter Vinyl
Acetate Sheet
Earring Findings
xTool S1 Laser

Wood Scroll Earrings

First up is the quickest and most natural looking method! I used Walnut Plywood to make these beautiful earrings. Simply open the SVG file in your cutting machine’s design program. Choose the design you want to use and make it the desired size. Then cut the wood using the best settings for your device.

If you end up with a little char on the edges of the scroll earrings you can use a Magic Eraser to clean the wood.

Gold Laminate Earrings

I used heat transfer vinyl to make these super shiny earrings! If you are cutting with a diode laser, make sure you choose a HTV that is laser safe! First you iron the HTV onto the basswood. Then you cut the design from the wood

Finally, add your earring findings and you’re done! This method is faster than painting and the shiny metallic HTV is incredible!

Glitter Vinyl Earrings

I wanted to put some sparkle in the openings of the scroll earrings, and this was an easy way to do that.

Open the desired design in your machine’s design program and create two versions of the earring design: one regular and one mirrored. This will make the front and back of the earring. Since it’s two pieces of wood I used 1/16 inch basswood and pre-painted it. Then I cut the design.

After that I cut the outline of the earrings from a sheet of acetate that was covered with transparent glitter vinyl.

Finally, I glue the glitter piece between the two pieces of wood.

Pair these cute DIY scroll earrings with the Earring Display Cards SVG File to create beautiful gifts. Have fun crafting & creating these beautiful earrings!

Cute Fruit DIY Earrings

September 14, 2024March 9, 2023 by PCC VA

Ciao Amici! I’m dropping in from Morena’s Corner to show how I used adorable fruit SVG designs with shrink plastic to make these little Cute Fruit DIY Earrings! These would make fun party favors. This would also be a great activity to make with a group of kids. Here’s how you can make your own cute fruit earrings.

DIY Shrink Plastic Earring Supply List:

Cute Summer Fruit SVG Collection
Shrink Plastic
Printer
Oven
Dimensional Magic
Earring Posts and Backs
Jewelry Glue
Earring Display Cards SVG Cut File

First, you want to choose the fruit graphics that you wish to use and arrange them so they fit a standard 8.5 by 11-inch sheet of paper. I used Silhouette Studio to create my print file. I made each fruit piece approximately 3 inches tall. When my design was ready, I printed it out on a sheet of white shrink plastic. Please note that you will need to use a laser printer for this project! (I tried using my inkjet printer and the ink never dried, even after baking!)

I fussy cut all the images out and arranged them on a cookie sheet. Bake the shrink plastic per the directions on the packaging. Every brand varies, but mine only took 3 minutes to shrink down!

I did a side-by-side comparison to show how much the plastic shrunk. What started out as approximately 3 inches tall wound up being about an inch tall after baking!

Use Dimensional Magic to seal the adorable little shrunk plastic fruit and give them a glossy top cover. When they are dry you can flip them over and glue the earring posts onto them.

I cut several earring display cards out from bright blue sky cardstock and added the earrings. These will be fun to add to Easter baskets or goody bags in the future!
