Welcome back! I have been planning this post for a little while but had to wait to post it. I made this gift basket that I was super excited about but didn’t want it to get back to the couple. So let’s jump right in.
So first up is this beautiful split monogram cutting board. I had been watching various youtube videos trying to find an idea of what to make them. One of the first videos that I came across was how to make a custom cutting board. Believe it or not, the glass cutting board was actually bought from Dollar Tree. How cool is that!?! So this gift is so easy to do. I designed it on Cricut DesignSpace. I use Oracle 651 vinyl because the color is on both sides. When I cut the image I mirrored it so that I could attach it to the bottom so they could still use the cutting board. When I applied it I used a ruler as a squeegee to make sure there were no bubbles and voila, this one is done.
So for my next part of the gift I bought this luxury plush blanket from Dollar General. I love how soft it was and since it is starting to get cold weather a blanket it seemed like a great idea. I used the custom monogram that I used above but put it on some gold HTV and applied it using my easy press 2.
Next, I made this beautiful tray. Lately, I have been really into these Split Monograms so I wanted to use this again. I wanted to add a little spice to it though so I added the leaf frame. I spray painted the tray black then added the details in a light blue Oracle 651 permanent vinyl. After I let it fully cure for 48 hours I sealed it a clear coat by Rustoleum.
The last part of my gift was these adorable coffee mugs. I bought them at Dollar Tree. I looked online trying to find the perfect saying. Then I found these and I loved it so much. It perfectly describes my friends. I made sure they were fully cured before giving them away so they would be able to be hand-washed.
I packed it into a collapasable cube and a gift basket bag and it was ready to go! If you would like to have a step by step tutorial on how to make any of these items then let me know in the comments below. Until next time, stay crafting my friends!
