My First DIY Christmas Gift with Kitchen Decals and Kitchen Stickers

Being a full-time grad student and working, Christmas is on a tight budget this year.  That is when I came up with the idea of using sticviews custom decals to help meet my DIY project needs: make awesome hot cocoa and decorate with fabric and custom decals!

I started out for a search of the perfect hot cocoa – my mom uses this awesome recipe from Cooks.com, but we have a little family secret added to bring out the richness of the chocolate.  Use your imagination to adapt the recipe!

Then I went to Handcock Fabrics in Plano to get my fabric for the lids. They were having a great sale: $0.99 for each Fat Quarter (18′x22′) and $0.50 for the ribbon!  (I could have just bought 2 Fat Quarters and 1 ribbon strand, but I didn’t realize that till after I finished.  And I wanted to have four different fabrics – so I’ll have to find something else to do with the fabric – maybe use as wrapping paper!

Then I mixed all the wonderful ingredients together.  I had a hard time because this is a recipe for a large amount, and I didn’t have a bowl big enough.  Next thing on my list is to get a larger mixing bowl! (I split the recipe into two bowls)  I used two cup mason jars (from Target – four jars for just over $4.00) for the hot cocoa.

Now I have 12 mason jars ready for decorating!  I started with sticking on the custom decal I created on sticviews.com.  There are several types of free downloads on Living Locurto that I used for inspiration, but then I found a custom label design on Blonde Designs and ended up adapting one of the freebies and making it my own!

Then I cut out squares of the fabric (not an exact measurement) and secured the lids, added the ribbon, and there you have it!  It makes a perfect gift for friends, family and co-workers!  I spent about 3 hours total between mixing the cocoa, designing the Christmas label, and decorating the jars.  (My only suggestion is to use a wire ribbon instead – mine were a bit hard to tie tightly.)

The best part about this is that the recipient won’t have to throw away the jar.  They can reuse it because the decal will come off clean after they are all done with the cocoa!

Thanks for reading my blog!  Do you have good DIY projects that could use custom decals and labels?

Custom Home Decor - DIY China Cabinets using Window Stickers and Window Decals

Cathe Holden, author of the Just Something I Made blog did a wonderful review of sticviews furniture decor skins, and she had a great concept for sticviews to help with home decor.  I’ve uploaded some of the image she used for her blog, The sticviews Giveaway and the China Hutch.

She ordered a reversed image to stick on the inside of her cabinet and then taped the backing paper to the inside of the cabinet as well to take away the transparency of the clear vinyl sticker she installed. 

This is a picture of the items that came along with her order.  It’s easiest to install with water (hence the small water sprayer) because it allows you to move the material around on the “stuck” surface until you have it just right.  A white foam squeegee helps smooth the air pockets from the middle of the sticview.  And the blue plastic razor blade helps pick up the image if you need to move it around a little more before it’s completely secure.  And remember, the best part about sticviews is they stick anywhere and come off clean!

Cathe said in her blog that it only took thirty minutes for her to install the sticview from cutting to taping, and it looks absolutely fantastic!  What a wonderful idea for a sticview – and a great way to spruce up an old China cabinet!

You can go to her blog about the review to view her steps and the downloads for the trading cards.  The giveaway is already up and I’m eager to see what the winner is going to order.  The contestants definitely had some great sticview ideas – the possibilities are truly endless!

Cathe is also a graphic designer and owner of Home Grown Logos. You can also read her design blog at Farm Fresh Creative.  She definitely has wonderful creative talent.  And I’m excited to see her uses for sticviews as time goes on!

sticviews custom kids decals stick anywhere and come off clean

That means they can be used for any variety of fun, creative projects.

The jr. cheerleading squad of Brooke (daughter of sticview’s CEO, Bryce) have been using a creative storage and seating solution for when they cheer on their football teams – buckets decorated with custom decals. They function as chairs when they’re not jumping up and down during their spirited cheers, and they serve as storage for their pom poms and other props when the game’s over. Each bucket is decorated with custom decals printed with their team mascot – a bear, and they’re also personalized with the name of each cheerleader. Not only are the custom sticker labels decorative, but they also let every girl know where to put her things and where to sit when there’s down-time.

For Brooke’s cheerleading squad, they made 10 x 15 in. custom stickers on sticviews.com by uploading a graphic of their Bears logo in Step 3, adding their names with the text editor, and choosing white stic for their sticker material. The buckets had previously been decorated with paint markers and permanent markers, but they faded and rubbed off with wear and tear. Because sticviews are waterproof, durable, and easy to apply, sticviews custom decals were a perfect way to re-vamp the cheerleaders’ bucket chairs.

These were the cheerleaders’ bucket chairs before they applied sticviews custom decals:
