I didn’t set out to stray from regular vinyl. It just kind of happened.
I’ve had the printable Square 1 Masterpiece in my stash for
quite awhile, hoarding it along with all of my other paper.
Then a neighbor dropped off a bottle of homemade mulberry
wine. As a thank you, I thought it would be fun to
make him some custom wine labels, but didn’t want anything that would stick
permanently to the bottle. I found a
wine label template online, typed in the info, printed it out on Square 1, then
cut it out. As my 6-year olds say: “Easy peasy lemon squeezy!” – and pretty
sophisticated looking too:
What can I do with this stuff next???
I spotted the shelf in my kitchen. I like decorating it for holidays, but after
Memorial Day and the 4th of July, I was at a loss as to what to put on
it until Fall. I found a cute, cupcake-themed
canvas for $5 so I used that as my shelf inspiration.
I picked up some wood letters on sale at Joann and spray
painted them black. I put them on the
shelf and they looked….fine. Meh. A pattern would’ve been more exciting but
covering them in scrapbook paper and mod podge just seemed too permanent – and
like too much work. I found some free
digital paper online, printed it on Square 1, traced the letters, cut them out
and stuck them to the front of my letters.
Not only can they be easily removed and changed (if my love of chevron
and quatrefoil ever fades) but I can RE-USE those letters cut out of Square 1
again and again! LOVE THAT PART! And since I had some extra patterned Square 1
left over from the letters, I cut out these cute cupcakes to go with my theme:
I also had some of solid Square 1 in green so I cut out this
saying for under the shelf:
I love that I can save the cut-outs I made with Square 1 and
re-use them. I also love, love, LOVE
that Square 1 is PVC-free!
Here’s how my shelf looks now:
So there’s my story about how I fell in love with Square 1
Masterpiece. I am really excited about
using this on all kinds of future projects!
