Craft Tip:

Instead of cutting out the unicorn face from cardstock, use heat resistant clear acetate sheets as your base.

Then, with your Cricut machine, cut out lots of different faces, hair, and accessories from the unicorn svg files.

Once you cut out the unicorn faces on removable adhesive vinyl sheets, you can apply them to the acetate sheets. This way, you can change your unicorn looks whenever you want.

Add images or graphics to make each craft more fun. The best graphics to use are in svg format. If you’re new to svg files, you’ll love my So Simple SVG Files course!

Instead of handwriting each name or place number, you could use a wedding cursive font and then cut out the letters and numbers in adhesive vinyl with a cutting machine like the Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo.

Remember to attach the text svg to have it cut in one piece. This will make it a lot easier for you to apply the text or images to the glass. If you are using multiple colors, you may want to group the design so that they separate into different mats.

Feeling lost or confused about how to do this? Read my post to learn how do you group things together on Cricut.

Dollar Tree DIY

Give those budget craft supplies a try. The Dollar Tree items in store are easy enough to find. Otherwise, you should be able to find any supplies that are out of stock by going to the website and ordering them online.

Any of these would make great crafts ideas to sell. Now that those creative wheels are turning, what are you going to make?

If you really want to make it special, personalize it with your own svg image.

If you don’t know how to make svg images, sign up for my So Simple SVG Files course to learn how. I will walk you through the steps to make simple shapes and turn them into drawings that you can save as svg files.
