Custom Cutting Board – Great Housewarming Gift

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you today a gift that is easy to do and makes a fantastic addition to a housewarming gift and/or wedding present. It is these custom cutting boards. The things needed for this project are: 

The best part about it is that you can pay as much or as little as you want. The cutting boards that are below I got from the dollar tree. They would be perfect for a cheese cutting board. If you wanted to do something bigger or a full-sized one, you can find those at any bigger store.

How to Create These Beautiful Cutting Boards:

1. Design your image on Design Space — Personally, I love split monograms. You can find these images on Design Space under Cartridges → Split Monograms
2. Use your Cricut or cutting machine to cut out your vinyl — You can do this as big or as small as your cutting board will allow. You have to make sure to MIRROR YOUR IMAGE. For your vinyl, I recommend Oracle 651 since it has a permanent adhesive and the color goes all the way through.
3. Weed out the extra and apply the transfer tape.
4. Clean the bottom of the cutting board with rubbing alcohol – This is important because if there is any fingerprints or anything on it, the vinyl may not stick all the way.
5. Carefully apply the decal to the bottom — You want to do this slowly using your squeegee. This will help prevent bubbles in the vinyl.
6. Voila! You’re done!
