Decorating Soap Dispensers With Cricut


These dispensers are all from the Dollar Tree.  I spray painted a bunch of them, using Rustoleum spray paint, because I wanted more of the off white, and my store didn't have them.  My mom then saw that I was making these, and ordered me an entire case - so I now have 3 green, 3 blue, 3 yellow, and 3 white that I want to come up with designs for..  all of the green will be grinches, they have been very popular.

I used 651 vinyl.  I buy it in bulk on Amazon - You can choose 6 different rolls, you chose the colors, for $21.50 here: http://amzn.to/2ClMK4I, or FIFTEEN rolls, you choose the colors, for $35 here - http://amzn.to/2DL3778.  

These are the designs I used for these (I'll break down the fonts and designs used below)


Keep Calm & Copper Boom
A Gilmore Girls reference
I found this on google and cleaned it up in design space, for my daughters dorm room.

Wash Your Hands & Say Your Prayers
I bought this design on Apex.  I would not recommend it.  Even after buying it, I had to spend a lot of time cleaning it up with the contour function in design space, and even still, this design is just a major pain and is horrible to weed.  If you are determined to try it, reverse weeding helps.

The Best Fonts For Flourishes in Design Space -

Image
Cliff Notes: Similar to "fonts with tails" (easy glyphs), like in the  I Love Glitter font, but these fonts are ALL glyphs.  (See fonts with tails cheat sheet here) Don't install them all!  Use fontlab pad and open what you want to use right from the zipfile.  Less clutter! Lists of pretties, arrows, and frames, below, with a short list of free sites with svg files for flourishes at the bottom. All the fonts listed below are free, and found on Dafont. Fonts are my favorites for lines! You can just install the font to your computer, then in design space find the font under "system fonts".  Now type the letter, or number,  from the fonts chart to get the corresponding line. I suggest you do NOT do that though.  If you install all of these fonts, they are really going to clutter up your font list.  Instead, create a folder named "Flourishes".  Save the zip files for each of these fonts in that folder.  ALSO, on the page for each font, ...

We spend WAY too much time digging through piles of rocks.

Image
Lately, it feels like all of our date nights are on the rocks.  Or on the rock piles at least. We've been spending a lot of time geocaching lately.  And it's pretty amazing how many ways there are to turn a rock into a geocache. Dan has made a few of the real rock caches - rocks he drilled holes into to insert bison tubes into them.  He bought two drill bits  - a pricey diamond encrusted one ($20) and a regular mason bit ($3.50). The diamond one did not work well. The $3.50 one has been great.  Go figure.  A 5/8 bit works well for a half inch bison tube. My least favorites are the "needle in a haystack" caches.  A rock, in a pile of rocks.  These are a couple of my logs from one needle in a haystack rock cache near us: Didn't find it 04/02/2016 Day #683. Spent another evening skulking behind a convenience store sorting through trash strewn rocks. The container continues to elude us. Our children believe we've gone mad. We may have. Gave up the sea...
