Charlie Brown Christmas - On My Lampshade

Confession time.  I don't layer vinyl anymore.  Just too time consuming and difficult.  Especially now that I've found Square1. 

Square1 used to create this lampshade decoration

I really and truly made this from conception to displaying on my lampshade in less than 30 minutes.

Here are the steps:

1. Find image (search images online) and download onto my computer.
2. Trace in Silhouette
3. Print on Square1 using my home printer
4. Cut on Square1 (secret ingredient). 
5. Peel and stick onto lamp shade.  No transfer tape - just used my hands and fingers.

And when Christmas is over, I'll just pull this off the lampshade and save it for use again next year.

I'm in heaven.  Square1 has set me free.

BTW - if you purchase Square1 printable using my link above, I'll send you this cut and print file for free. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  Merry Christmas!
