Dishwasher Safe Tardis Mug by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here with you today. I'm really excited that SRM now has dishwasher safe vinyl. I have a collection of fun coffee mugs, and I'm a bit of a sci fi geek. Thanks to SRM's Oracle Dishwasher Safe Vinyl I got to combine those two things in this dishwasher safe Tardis mug.

Can I see a show of hands for all my fellow Dr. Who fans?!? Love this show, but I haven't come across a mug I really wanted (or when I'd find one it was really expensive) so I decided to make my own.

 I picked up this cool cool mug for about $4. It looks hand thrown, but is actually from a retail chain store and is dishwasher and microwave safe. Then, all I needed was some dishwasher safe vinyl, transfer tape, and a way to cut my vinyl (I love my Silhouette Cameo, but you can use any digital die cutting machine to create your designs). 

I washed my mug, and wiped the area I was going to add my vinyl to with an alcohol wipe. You don't have to use and alcohol pad to prep the area, but I wanted to make sure that my surface was as clean as possible since it's a bit lumpy and bumpy.

 I've washed my 3 times now, and it looks just as good as the day I made it - no peeling, bubbling, or warping. I'm in love with this dishwasher safe vinyl, now the only question is what should I make next?!?

Personalized h2O to go with SRM Vinyl

Hello Everyone!  

Shanna here today with a quick and easy project that can be used every day!  

Everyone knows that you *should* drink plenty of water everyday.  An efficient way to help that along is to keep a water bottle with you.  I have a teenage daughter that is actually really good about her water intake, but she takes a bottle everywhere with her!  She was in need of an "updated" bottle from the beat up one she has been lugging around for some time now. She is currently very into astronomy and constellations, so that's how this design was born!  SRM's dishwasher safe vinyl made this personalized project a breeze! I cut the design out on my Silhouette Cameo and will link to the file below! 

Some tips I have picked up along the way:

• Remember the thicker the font/design--the more adhesive that there is to adhere to the blank
• Be sure the surface is fully cleaned of debris--rubbing alcohol is a great tool to remove oily residue from fingerprints and such.
• Pull transfer tape up slowly--or risk stretching the vinyl out of shape :(

Supplies used:

SRM Vinyl - Gold dishwasher safe

SRM Vinyl- transfer tape

Silhouette Cameo

Silhouette Store design #132011

Water Bottle

 I hope you enjoyed my project!  

What do you want to personalize next??

Until next time,

Shanna

Halloween Heat Transfer T-Shirt by Shantaie

Shantaie Fowler loves playing with vinyl and she had fun creating this "adult" t-shirt for Halloween!

This spirited shirt has all of the fun and whimsy of Halloween but with a bit of grown up flair.

Heat transfer vinyl is one of the greatest inventions ever for makers, crafters, and DIYers, it gives us a tool to express ourselves in anyway we can conjure up!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to create this design and cut it in reverse from white heat transfer vinyl and ironed onto a black tee. It really was that simple.

That fun ghost and those bubbles!!! 

Heat transfer vinyl is really fun, and once you try it you may not be able to stop making everything you can dream up! 

And she found a fun glass already made but you could probably make one using our new 751 Dishwasher Gloss vinyl.  Super fun! 

What would you make for Halloween using Vinyl?  The possibilities are endless!
