Projects and tutorials using Silhouette Studio software and a variety of techniques and materials including papercrafting, heat transfer vinyl, adhesive vinyl, fabric, home decor, and other specialty materials. Includes information on using Silhouette Studio with other machines such as the Glowforge laser cutter.
One of the most fun projects I’ve worked on lately is faux leather earrings. They are quick to make, relatively inexpensive, and a great way to express your creativity. As soon as I completed my first pair, I was hooked (no pun intended 😉 !). (Be sure to read all the way down to the…
The Christmas season seems to get busier and busier each year – and that’s especially true for makers and crafters. But some traditions are just too important to let go, even when time is short. For me, one of those traditions is making a special ornament for each member of our family. While looking over…

In my last post, I showed you how to make inserts for a fun Muffin Tin Toss Game. As promised, I’m back to share with you the secret for cutting the laminated inserts while keeping the edges heat-sealed. For durability, I laminate almost everything I create for the classroom. Over the years, I’ve used self-adhesive…
