Oh wow! Our prolific Faye Mitchell is back.This time with 3 stunning DIY wedding gift tutorials that no one will believe you made! Enjoy the next 3 days of Faye's tutorials, I know we will.
Here's Faye showing how to use your cutting machine and vinyl to make the first gift:
Hi Everyone, I’m back with another guest blog posting. This time I’m making a spring wedding gift set using the amazing products you can purchase from Craft Chameleon.
Supplies:
Items with * have a link to the Craft Chameleon products
SVG Design Program ( Studio, Design Space, SCAL, etc)
Vinyl with a frosted or etched appearance
Vinyl Application Tool
* Weeding Tool 
The first thing I did was get my supplies together to make the Acrylic Wine Bottle Stopper. When you purchase the stoppers Craft Chameleon includes some design options for the stoppers. I opened this design file so I can make sure my design will fit on to the stopper correctly.
I decided I wanted my bottle stopper, coaster and wine caddy to all match in their design. So I opened the Wine Butler Caddy design that Craft Chameleon includes when you buy the Wine Caddy.
I ungrouped the design and took one of the clumps of grapes, rotated and resized it until it fit within the circle which is part of the bottle stopper file. Once sized and all the settings checked, I sent it to my Silhouette Cameo to cut the etched look vinyl.

Once it’s cut and weeded you take your transfer tape and apply it to the wine stopper
Can you believe how fast & easy that was to make? Part 1 is finished and it looks amazing! I was surprised at how much it looked like it was really etched even though it was only faux etch vinyl. This vinyl is also an option for the acrylic pieces we are etching in the next tutorials.
Tomorrow, come back and follow along with Faye while she etches the Acrylic Wine Caddy Blank offered by Craft Chameleon.

Faye, I rewatched tonight and will continue with 2 & 3 that I hadn't had time to watch. So sorry I hadn't left msg before. I have June wedding so this would be perfect and I found a pack of the glass stoppers before discontinued so might etch mine with etching cream.
