One of my favorite projects from my 30x30x3 journey were the cork pencil cups I did with animal silhouettes painted on them. Anyone remember these?
Anyway, I was recently thinking about them and it occurred to me, what if instead of cutting out a stencil and painting the animals on, what if I cut the animal shapes out of a vinyl chalkboard sticker? Then you would have a cute animal AND a chalkboard label, all in one! I had made the stencils by hand cutting each animal out of contact paper with an xacto blade, so how different would it be to cut them out of a vinyl label instead?
I can’t wait to try this out, now I just need to purchase some vinyl chalkboard labels on Etsy and dig up those old silhouettes I had found for the original project. I’m sure I saved them digitally somewhere…
I’ll update everyone once I’ve had a chance to try this out! Cheers, Allison
These are gorgeous Alison, look forward to seeing more!
Great idea… the dog shapes would work perfectly as labels… just enough room to write a name or whatever.
thanks this post
Doxies! Love them! Where did you ger the templates?
Random online clip art, just google search for images of Dog (or Dachshund) Silhouette.
