Craft Burglar: America the beautiful

Q: WHAT IS VINYL AND HOW CAN IT BE USED?

A: Use vinyl designs, to dress up any space in your home, your car, personalize your electronic devices and more. These easy to apply and semi-permanent designs will immediately transform any surface to a custom piece of art, unique to you.

Vinyl can be applied to almost any surface – walls, glass, dishes, laptops, phones and other electronic devices and cases, doors, wooden signs, metal, picture frames, cars and any other smooth surface, making them an ideal choice for decoration material.

Almost any design can be cut from vinyl –your own creativity is the limit!

Vinyl is made strong enough to last up to 6 years outside in all climates – the only storm it can’t weather is the dishwasher, so when applied to dishes gentle hand washing is recommended. As well as avoiding use in the microwave.

About the crafter

I love crafting. Sewing, scrapbooking, card making, using my cricut, anything that involves ribbon, vinyl, making things for my home, gifts, babies, clothes, all sorts of crafting. I love it.

However, if you have stumbled upon this and are hoping for a tutorial I am about to disappoint you. Sorry. This is just a place for me to post my original and burglarized crafts.

Here's the story: Whenever I think I've come up with an "amazing, original, idea" it soon becomes apparent, after googling/etsying/pinteresting it, my amazing ideas aren't so "original" after all.
It's often easier to follow a tutorial that's already out there, than to create a new one for the same thing! Why reinvent the wheel, am I right?

However....If I can't find a tutorial I am forced to make my idea come to life on my own, which I love!
So, I *do* on occasion come up with original ideas, those will be posted too, all I ask is that if you want information on how I did it or want to "steal" my exact idea, ask first! :) Thanks!
