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!

Glass Block - Sleigh Ride Scene
Square1 Printable

• Window:  Design #50731 - Assorted Window Frames created by Jamie Koay.  Purchased through Silhouette Store and resized to 6" x 6".
• Lamp Post:  Free SVG download from Images by Heather M.
• Tree:  Design: 9899 - Pine Tree Silhouette created by Sarah Bailey.  Purchased through Silhouette Store.

• Images were sized and color filled within Silhouette software. 
• Printed and cut on Square1 Printable 8.5" x 11".  So much easier over vinyl.  No fuss and muss as this media cuts like vinyl but is actually has a more linen feel.  Peels from it's backing and is very forgiving.  If it folds up on itself, you can just pull apart and apply.  No transfer tape used or needed.

• String of 20 miniature clear lights inserted from bottom of glass block. 
• Tulle added inside of block to create a snowy look to the scene.
• Green wired ribbon tied around finished product.
