Cricut DIY projects with Vinyl
Vinyl is most commonly thought of as a wall decor item, and it can be adorable in so many uses. However, you can also use vinyl to make a stencil for anything you are painting to get nice crisp lines. You can use iron on vinyl to add a design to an item, or you could again use it as a stencil to paint on a design or removing color by spraying over vinyl letters for a cool effect.
Vinyl Projects:
- Roman numeral clock numbers for a clock
- Custom wedding sign
- Special occasion water bottles (or any gear really)
- Personalized Kids Aprons

Specialty items you can cut include window clings, etched glass window cling, leather, washi tape, and so many more.
