One year ago I received my first Silhouette machine. I was so excited to get it, yet so intimidated by all of its powers that I didn’t really put it to use until about two months ago. Since then I have been making shirts……lots of personalized shirts. But recently I made my girls each a personalized elf with my Silhouette Portrait. Aren’t they adorable?
Make a Personalized Elf
For this project I purchased the elves from the Dollar Tree. Not even kidding! (I found the same elves on Amazon and almost choked when I saw the price!!) I typed the names into the Silhouette software and mirrored the image. Then I used some white Heat Transfer Vinyl as my cutting medium. I weeded out the excess and ironed onto the elves. I hot glued a pom-pom to the top of each elves hat and some glittery edging around the girl’s hat.
Little Sister loved her elf so much she had me make a second….so the first elf has a friend, of course.
Having a Silhouette machine is awesome. If you are looking for a good deal on one, head to Amazon today!
