Cricut and Fabric


Quick Cricut Monogram on pillows




Scrap of fabric to make a pillow the size you want it, contrast fabric, 
Heat'n Bond, iron, stuffing and your  Cricut.

If you are using a Cricut Cake like me, make sure you change your casing, blade and mates.


Using an iron apply Heat'n Bond to the wrong side of your contrast fabric.




Peel the paper exposing the glue.





 Place your fabric on your Cricut mat, Heat'n Bond side on top of the mat.
make sure that it is well stuck.



Select your design and load your mat.




Cut and check that your design is complete.





 Iron to the pillow fabric





Using a hoop or just freehand run a zigzag stitch all around the contrast fabric.







Close your pillows leaving an opening to stuff them. If you make a puppy one add a squeakier to make it more fun.

Baby Shower Gifts

Hand Soap Party Favors






Clean the glue on the baby food jars with a little peanut butter.



Safety first, gloves and protective eye wear. Drill holes in the lids using a special hole drill bit. It will make it easier.


Paint your lids to go with your color theme. 
I used some vinyl to decorate them.
Either save the pumps from used hand soap bottles or buy some.




Super glue them to the lid.



Fill the bottles with the hand soap (color theme).



Add a little thank you label. 
I wrote hand soap on the label, 
my husband thought it was baby food. lol
