Cricut Fusible-1

Hey there! Have you heard the great news? Cricut now has FUSIBLE FABRIC! What is fusible fabric? Well it’s cotton fabric that already has a fusible product on the back so that with the use of an iron or the Cricut EasyPress you can make your very own fabric applique projects!

Cricut Fusible-5

I wanted to make a little Cricut care package for a friend, so I cut out a Cricut “C” with my Cricut Maker and applied it with the EasyPress. It was so easy and so fast to make this adorable miniature tote bag!

Cricut Fusible-3

Hint… you can find this Cricut Logo in the Cricut Library.. just search “Cricut”.

There are tons of varieties of colors. Each roll of Fusible Fabric comes with four different designs. Here are some of the choices available:

June 10, 2018June 10, 2018Leave a comment

Fathers Day Grill Gift-1 I am back with another Father’s Day Gift project for you! I don’t know about your special guy, but mine loves to grill and new tools are a staple every summer. Fathers Day Grill Gift-7

Get him all set up with a new Apron, Towel and personalized tools. I loaded it all on a grill pan for a perfect presentation.

Fathers Day Grill Gift-5

I created the design in Cricut Design Space (You can grab a copy here). You can personalize it any way you like. Add a name in place of Dad, change it to Grandpa, or even MOM… Moms grill, too!

I used Cricut Premium Vinyl, Cricut Iron On and the Cricut EasyPress and EasyPress Mat to personalize all of the items that I purchased at Walmart.

Father’s Day is just around the corner! I can’t believe it’s almost June 17th, already! Haven’t gotten dad the perfect gift yet? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

This little gem is a DIY, custom made for your special guy by you! All you need is a $3.97 clock from Walmart (they come in White, Black, Red, Silver and Gold), Cricut Premium Vinyl, a piece of cardstock, and your Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore.

You can see in the top photo I added a little extra touch with the red stripes. I think they go a long way to adding just that something to make it pop. You could add a personalized name, add stars for the numbers, add a logo for your business, you name it… the sky is the limit! How about a personalized clock for the kids room?

You know I have a step by step tutorial for you! You can grab my Design Space file here or start from stratch and make your own!

Scrapbooking Evie….

June 9, 2018June 9, 20181 Comment

This is a long overdue scrapbook layout. Evie Layout-1

That, my friends, is Miss Evie! My darling, sweet grand daughter. She will be two in August and I just haven’t stayed on top of her scrapbooks.

Evie Layout-2

I’m not sure why. I really enjoy the peaceful process of scrapbooking. I started my papercraft journey by scrapbooking.

Evie Layout-6

A good friend, Jodie, sent me a scrapbooked birthday card many years ago, and I thought it was the most coolest thing, ever! I started scraping that same week.

Evie Layout-7

Paper crafting has always been my “go to” fun place. I love the texture and layers and papers. Heck, I even love the different adhesives, cutters, scissors and ephemera. I am an office supply junkie.

Evie Layout-8

Do you ever circle back to a craft that you used do to and wonder why it’s been so long since you’ve endulged? Leave me a comment and let me know what crafts you would love to get back into. I hope this is the first of many more layouts to come.

P.S. I used my Cricut Maker to cut all of the background pieces.

Glasses Case with the Cricut & HeatnBond

Sunglass Case TOW-5

Summer is upon us and that means, most likely, I will be losing yet another pair of sunglasses any day now! In an attempt NOT to lose my glasses, I have created a super easy (beginner sewing) pattern for you to keep those babies safe!

Sunglass Case TOW-7.jpg

I mean, really, how can you misplace this colorful pouch (Fabric by Windham Fabrics).

Sunglass Case TOW-10

I used HeatnBond Fusible Fleece and HeatnBond Fusible Craft Interfacing to provide this fun case with lots of cushion to protect your precious cargo.

Sunglass Case TOW-11

I created a pattern in Cricut Design Space and let the Cricut Maker cut the fabric, interfacing & fleece for me. It really could not get any easier than this! If you’d like to grab the cut file, you can find it here.

Ready for the tutorial? It’s on the Thermoweb Youtube Channel. Click below and you’re on your way to making your own glasses case.

Maker Hoop-2

Have you celebrated the Maker in YOU? There is a Maker inside each and every one of us, and I think it’s time we applaud our everyday creative selves!

Maker Hoop-6

It just so happens, I made this maker project with my Cricut Maker! How Cool is that!?!!?

It’s crazy easy and a really fun addition to your craft area. I made another one for Evie’s bedroom with her name on it.

Maker Hoop-5

I mean.. hello??? You can make this in any color scheme, any word, any occasion and it just adds that little bit of homemade magic to any room. I used HeatnBond Fusible Adhestive to add the letters that I cut out with the Cricut Maker. The Cricut Easy press made applying it super easy! Did you know Cricut now has fabric with the Fusible product already on it? They Do! You can find it here!

This is a super easy project! You can view this video to find out how to make the letters and this video to find out how to make the flowers.

Monogram Pouch-2

Hello! I am so happy you are here! I have been super busy with summer activities, but I couldn’t wait to get this fun tutorial up on the blog. How cute is this crazy easy zipper pouch.

Monogram Pouch-1

I even made a mini version. Everything is cuter when it’s mini… why is that??

This is a lined zipper pouch that I made using the Cricut Maker/Cricut Design Space to make and cut all of the fabric pieces.

Monogram Pouch-8

I used HeatnBond Adhesive to attach the monogram and HeatnBond Interfacing to give the bag some extra structure. I really love the overall look. Wouldn’t these be cute as bridesmaid gifts or graduation gifts? I can think of a million uses.

Let’s make one together. Here’s a step by step video tutorial. Don’t worry if you don’t have a Cricut – you can follow along and make your pattern on paper and use that as a template. I give you all of the measurements in the video. The products used are listed below the video and in the video description. I can’t wait to see what you make!

Beach Towel Tote Bag!

May 26, 2018May 26, 2018Leave a comment

Beach bag-1

Hello there! It’s finally starting to look like Summer here in Indiana and that means beach time and lots of running around. I can always use an XL tote to keep me organized from one place to the next. I created this fun bag from a beach towel!

Beach bag-1-5

You can’t even believe how easy it is! I made this in under 30 minutes and you can too! This is the perfect beginner sewing project. ( How cute is this “Tropic like it’s Hot” SVG from LoveSVG?)

Beach bag-3

The best part is, it’s so easy to throw in the laundry with your other towels, it’s easy to personalize (make one for each of the kiddos with their own name), it’s is so big you can use it for the beach, a diaper bag, sleepovers, you name it – I’m pretty sure it’s going to fit! If you want it a little smaller, it’s really easy to downsize, simply cut your pieces smaller.

Beach bag-1-4

I personalized my bag with the Cricut EasyPress. I used the cotton settings and made sure to press from both the inside and outside of the bag. I used Glitter Iron On and Regular Cricut Lite Iron On. (Hint: use code LORRIE and save 10% and get free shipping on Iron On and other Cricut Accessories). I used pretty towels from Walmart, but any beach towel would work. Are you ready for the step by step tutorial?

Fabric Buttons & Zipper Pulls w/Cricut & Button Maker

May 25, 2018May 25, 2018Leave a comment

Hello! I am back with another DIY tutorial for you! This time, we are making buttons and zipper pulls!

zipper pull-2

I used my Cricut and my Button Maker to make them. I think they turned out so super cute!

zipper pull-1

If you’ve followed my Youtube Channel for long, you will know that a couple of years ago I went a little nutzo making button flare (you can see the tutorial here). What I didn’t know then, that I figured out now is that not only can you use paper, but you can use fabric!!!

zipper pull-5

I cannot even tell you how happy this makes me! Coordinating Zipper Pulls and Buttons for my handmade creations is absolutely the icing on the cake and really provides the perfect finishing touch!

zipper pull-6

Quilt3-1

I mean… c’mon now.. is that not the cutest! How about adding a fabric button to the center of a flower, on a headband, on a purse or bag, zipper pulls on the kids backpacks and jackets!!?! Hello! I am over the moon excited!

zipper pull-9

so… .you want to know how to make these cutie patooties? Here you go!

Embroidery Hoop with HeatnBond and the Cricut Maker

May 23, 2018May 20, 2018Leave a comment

Embroidery Hoop-5

Hello! Today, I have a fun project over on the Thermoweb Blog. I was challenged to create an “Embroidery Hoop Caddy”. Caddy’s of this sort, have been around for quite awhile, so I wanted to try and make it a little different. Enter… HeatnBond Ultra and my Cricut Maker.

Embroidery Hoop-8

This was so much fun to make and it is 100% a no-sew project! The Cricut cut all of the pieces of fabric which I had lined with Thermoweb’s HeatnBond Ultra Adhesive. Once the pieces were cut, all I had to do was apply heat with an iron to adhere the pieces into place.

Embroidery Hoop-7

I used really gorgeous fabrics by Windham Fabrics. Who doesn’t love a teal fabric fox!! Wouldn’t it be fun to make 3 of them in various woodland creatures and add them as a decorative, but useful element to any craftroom or even a child’s bedroom.

Screen Shot 2018-05-20 at 12.37.47 PM

I created the entire design in Cricut Design Space using Cricut Access Images and Basic Shapes. I changed the eyes at the last minute.

I have a step by step tutorial for you!
