With the holidays being an overwhelming and crazy time of the year I knew I wanted to keep my Winter Wonderland Craft fairly simple.  After the incident with my tree and ultimately having to decorate it twice this year I decided that I wanted to give my tree a little make over.  So I spent a decent amount of time looking around for cute ornaments that wouldn’t break the bank.  I finally scored these little cuties for $1 each at Hobby Lobby.    They are adorable, nice and thick so they’ll survive my munchkin and I couldn’t beat the price.    So I grabbed as many of them as they had left and rushed to the checkout counter before they realized they were selling them for 1/3 of the price of all their other ornaments.

While I love how beautiful they are before I decided to dress a few of them up as a Simple Joy Ornament.   The easiest way to do this?  My Silhouette Machine of course!

To make this fast and easy change, I grabbed my laptop and opened my Silhouette Studio Software.  After finding a font I liked I made a fast and easy design, loaded my mat and hit cut.   Since the font was so small weeding my design was a bit of a pain, but it didn’t take too long.

Next I used a small scrap of transfer tape and placed positioned the vinyl on my ornament.  That’s it!  A seriously fast and easy project plus I got to use up some of my mounting vinyl scraps!  Making this project all around affordable, and easy!

 

The simple text was a great addition to our beautiful tree!  And I just couldn’t resist the way it looks with all of the natural green foliage!
