Door plaques



Hi,

One of today's projects were for orders I received . They wanted room/door plaques with a "superhero" theme  and the other for a princess .

After playing around with designs for quite a while I then searched for a few ideas. 
Again I found a cutting file on the "silhouette cameo creations" Facebook page for the perfect Spider-Man image and after adjusting a few cut settings for the plaque it was perfect .

The plaque was painted first (two coats) and then varnished (again two coats) to give it a glossy feel (which makes the vinyl stick much easier ) , and here is the finished product......

Products used 

Acrylic paint 
Wooden plaque
String 
Oracle 651 vinyl
Wood Varnish
Clear gloss acrylic spray varnish 





For the princess plaque I just painted it white and sprayed clear acrylic gloss on it as I find the varnish gives it a yellowing look , the crown design I had already in my designs 






The other projects today are for gifts , the mug is made again using oracle 651 ( I have said before that people say this vinyl is not dish washer proof - I allow my mugs to dry and cure for at least 3 days and so far my "for fox sake " mug and minion mug I made in a previous post has gone through the dish washer on numerous occasions and still looks as good as the first day I made it ) .



For the two burp cloths I used heat transfer vinyl .
