You Were Born to Sparkle Sign
Silhouette Double-Sided Adhesive Starter KitWe may still be in the middle of October, but I’m already thinking ahead toward Christmas, and I’ve got homemade gifts on my mind. When Silhouette sent me a box of their awesome specialty media, I immediately dove into this double-sided adhesive starter kit. Do you remember the gold glitter reindeer canvas that I made last year for the holidays? Well, this double-sided adhesive is a similar concept, only it is about 15,000 times easier! (Man, I really wish they had had this stuff available last winter when I was crafting that reindeer!). I decided to create a “You Were Born to Sparkle” sign for one of my nieces and add some glitter to the word “sparkle.”

You Were Born to Sparkle SVGI started by creating my design layout in the Silhouette software, and then I cut the “You Were Born to” out of white vinyl. Next, I applied the vinyl to my pre-painted black piece of wood using a sheet of transfer tape.

Cutting Double Sided Adhesive With the Silhouette CAMEOI cut the word “Sparkle” out of the Silhouette double-sided adhesive and peeled up the remaining sheet of paper and the centers of the letters. While the word was still on the cutting mat, I used a sheet of transfer paper to remove it, making sure that the entire piece (including the yellow backing paper) lifted off cleanly. With my word on the transfer paper, I removed the yellow backing paper to reveal the bottom side of the clear double-sided adhesive.

Silhouette Double Sided Adhesive for Glitter and Velveteen FlockingI applied the “Sparkle” text to my wood using the transfer tape, and then peeled off the white paper on the front to reveal the second side of adhesive. What’s left is a very thin layer of sticky lettering, similar to double-sided tape, but much more stylish!

Silhouette Double Sided Adhesive for Glittery AccentsNow for the fun part – adding the glittery sparkle! I used fine gold glitter and sprinkled it liberally over the adhesive lettering.

Wood Sign With Glitter Accent TextUse a small paintbrush (included in the starter kit) to make sure that the adhesive letters are completely covered in glitter, and then brush off the excess glitter. I was surprised at how well it worked! The glitter is firmly embedded into the adhesive, and it won’t brush off, even with a decent amount of force and pressure, so you can really get in there and remove ALL of the excess glitter from the area.

How to Create Glitter Accents With Silhouette Double Sided AdhesiveI finished my sign with a coat of glossy sealer for extra protection from little hands, distressed the edges a bit, and it’s ready for gift giving! Easy peasy, inexpensive, and super cute! Just imagine all of the possibilities!
