Group Meeting Projects

These are the projects we made at our group meeting the other day. We started by cutting out a shape in contact paper using the Big Shot and putting the negative image on a glass votive holder. Then we put on a layer of glass etching cream (which really smells!). We set those aside and started on the tote bags. Did you know you can cut fabric with the Big Shot? And if you put Wonder Under (or something like that- I don't normally do fabrics!) on the back and iron it on 1st, then you can peel off the backing and iron on the cut out shapes. Very cool!

As you can see, I wasn't paying attention when I went to put my buttons on the flowers and would have ended up with pink on pink, so I left it off. Other than that, this was a very easy project that turned out pretty cute! We may have to do something like this for a class in the future...
