Summer Fun with StyleTechCraft Sun Changing Vinyl

Looking for a fun activity to create with the kids?

Create Cups that change with the sun.

Summer Fun with StyleTechCraft Sun Changing Vinyl

I used Sun Changing Vinyl from StyleTechCraft* and my

Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*

to create fun shape stickers for the kids to decorate the cups.

The Sun-Changing Vinyl* is available in four fun colors.

Summer Fun with StyleTechCraft Sun Changing Vinyl

Fun kiddie cocktails are great when all the grown-ups are sitting

around the pool drinking adult beverages.

For the kids, I bought drink cups, stir sticks, plates, pretzels, and

cute little light-up flamingoes*, and pineapples* at Dollar Tree*.

It makes a day at the pool feel like a party.

For smaller letters, we used StyleTechCraft Vinyl Transfer Tape* to add the vinyl to the cup.

The bigger stickers they can just peel and stick.

Here’s a bad photo of the cup before we took it outside.

I wanted to show you how it looked before it changed with the sun’s UV rays.

The vinyl all looks pretty much the same.

The Kids LOVE the Color Changing Cups!

Great for drinks around the pool.

The Sun Changing Vinyl is perfect for water bottles too.

It’s the perfect way to celebrate Summer Fun.

And it eliminates the endless summer cups because they can’t remember if it’s their cup or not.

Here’s another fun Color-Changing project I made a couple of years ago.

I love changing out my decorations with the seasons.

For Spring this year, I decided I needed a new bunny.

This cute little bunny door hanger makes me smile every time I see him.

Dollar Tree* always seems to have the perfect wood cut out for me to use.

And when it only costs $1.25, it’s affordable too.

How to make The Spring Bunny Door Hanger:

The bunny was a little too gray for my taste, so I warmed up the color by painting it with DecoArt Bleached Sand Acrylic Paint*.

My project was inspired by a Large Floral Rabbit Decoration that I saw at Michael’s Craft Store. I liked the look of the painted flowers on the rabbit. But since my hand-painting skills are not that good, a floral stencil would have to do.

How to make a Spring Bunny Door Hanger with a Dollar Tree Bunny, Acrylic Paint, and StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl.

I created a stencil using StyleTechCraft Matte Removable Vinyl*, my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*, and the “Flower Corner” SVG file from The Silhouette Store.
I removed all the details inside the cut image with a vinyl craft pick tool. I left only the background.
Paint inside the background using acrylic paint.
I used the same cut stencil for both sides.

Next came the fun part. I cut all the pieces of the bunny using StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl*, the Easter Bunny Face SVG file (from the Silhouette Store), and my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.

After cutting all the pieces, I removed the excess vinyl from around the images using a Vinyl Weeding Tool*.
To transfer the vinyl, lay the Vinyl Transfer Tape* over the image.
Rub over the Vinyl Transfer Tape* with a vinyl scraper tool and lift the image from the white paper backing.

To create the handle, paint several wood beads with the same acrylic paint as the flowers.
String the beads onto a piece of natural twine*.
An Easy DIY Tip: Dip the end of the twine into craft glue. Twirl the fibers with your fingers tips to make the strands tight. Once the glue dries, it’s easy to add the beads.

I rubbed a little pink paint onto the face before adding the whiskers.

You warm my heart mug

How to make a “You Warm my Heart” Valentine’s Day Mug.

Some girls may want roses and expensive gifts for Valentine’s Day.

Not this girl. Give me something thoughtful and sweet, and I’ll be happy.

(Oh, and a little chocolate never hurts.)

How to make a "You warm my heart" mug using StyleTechCraft Vinyl.

While shopping at my local Dollar Tree…

I found this simple red and white mug*; I was drawn to its color because it is more barn red than fire engine red.

I decided to make a fun Valentine’s mug using my favorite StyleTechCraft Adhesive Vinyl.

Did you know, Dollar Tree* has a lot of glass and ceramic items that are perfect for adding vinyl?

To make the Valentine’s Mug:

I used an inexpensive red mug found at Dollar Tree*.
Prep the surface of the mug with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils.
I used the Silhouette Store “ink-free” font and the Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* to cut the words.
I used StyleTechCraft Silver Luster Vinyl* for the words and StyleTechCraft Rose Gold Craft Vinyl* for the hearts.
After cutting, remove the excess vinyl using a Vinyl Weeding Tool*.
Lay the transfer paper over the words.
Rub over the transfer paper with a vinyl scraper tool and lift the words from the white paper backing.

How to make a "You warm my heart" mug using StyleTechCraft Vinyl.

Lay the transfer paper onto the mug. Since it has a curved surface, start from the center of the words and rub one side at a time using a vinyl scraper tool. The tool allows you to smooth the image and eliminate air bubbles.
Remove Vinyl Transfer Tape*.
Line up hearts over the words and apply the vinyl hearts onto the mug.

Allow the vinyl to cure on the mug for four days before use. (Hand Wash Only)

For a Special Valentine Gift Box

Add a package of heart marshmallows (I found at Target), chocolates, and a box of Hot Cocoa Mix

for a sweet and thoughtful Valentine’s Gift.
