I shared this craft a while ago when I was still Cox's Corner and I STILL LOVE it! I had been wanting to make it for a while and I finally got around to it!
The tutorial is super brief.
If you don't have a silhouette (other than the writing) the mickey and mustache should be super easy to cut out by hand. The writing can still be cut out...it just won't be as easy.
Supplies:
Vinyl -I used a light turquoise color and black
Silhouette
Transfer Tape
I just chose which designs I wanted. I traced the mickey silhouette to make the mickey head and I just used a mustache shape I bought from the silhouette store.
For the font I used "waltograph" which is a free download and shaped it by following this tutorial.
I placed my vinyl onto my cutting mat in the correct places. Black where the Mickey Head is and turquoise where the writing and mustache is.

I then applied my vinyl to my jar. One thing I learned about applying vinyl to glass jars is...holy air bubbles! Start from the middle and work your way out on each design. Don't put it all on at once and then rub it in...unless you want to spend the next five minutes popping air bubbles...not speaking from experience or anything!
This was seriously such a quick project to put together and I'm thrilled with the results!
Have I mentioned that my hubby is amazing?! Well he is! :) We went on a Disney Cruise on our Honeymoon and it was TO.DIE.FOR. We were hooked! A few months after PJ's first birthday I got the cruise bug and talked my sweet hubby into it and we went again as a family of 3. I've had the cruise bug ever since...but unfortunately we haven't really had the cash to provide the cure!
I decided to reinstate my original reward from last year to keep me motivated:
I came to the conclusion that I need a reward, an awesome one for when I lose my 100 pounds...and well, we can't just go on a cruise to cruise because we don't have money to spend like that. That's when it hit me! The cruise can be my reward for losing 100 pounds! And then, when I reach my goal weight we could go on another one!
All throughout our cruise with PJ people kept telling us how brave we are. I'd like to say brave, no. Prepared, yes! I shared the post on tips to cruise with toddlers here.
