Since my youngest G-daughter has my Cricut Maker and she makes many gifts and things I had her cut me 3 different sizes of these flowers, the jar outline and the wording. She found these bamboo cutting boards at the Dollar Tree and I bought one from her. She brought the cut outs to me and since she had done them on iron on vinyl I used my mini cricut iron to press all but the flowers to the board. Then I rolled and shaped the flowers and proceeded to hot glue them in place--ah, ha, another Christmas gift for 2024 done--this will be used for my sewing group Christmas luncheon and a game I will provide. I like playing games and if no one else offers I get prepared with 2-3 games and gifts to go along with them. Everyone loves a gift, right? I want to buy a little stand for it though. I could even hot glue a twine rope to the back and tie the top in a bow.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I forget to come here quite a bit to look around. I love to see what people make--my mind is still somewhat foggy with my cancer but Praise the Lord, I am getting a bit more energy! I am trying to think about Cmas gifts already so I am not in a time crunch, as I always am.

That's soooo cute. I don't dare start a new hobby!

I thought about this cutting machine for a long time. She expressed she loved crafting but not sewing. She and I went shopping one day and I bought the Maker and vinyl. We got hooked with different vinyls. I bought it to keep her in with some hobby. My daughter and my 2 oldest granddaughter's buy what they want rather than going thru any processes. They all learned to sew but nope won't. I can't imagine people not having some hobby. Wait till they grow old---they are going to wish they had some type of talent. Thank you so much for your comment.

This is lovely. You and your granddaughter make a great team.
You could also add a picture frame holder to the back and hang it on a wall. Many possibilities.

You are right. As I was typing about this my mind was going a mile a minute in possibilities. Thank you.

Thank you Karen--with your help with the crochet pot holders and my granddaughter doing her crafts, then I see it and say I want this and that--she cuts after school work is done, brings to me and we did this together....she had made herself the first one--I had to have one for a gift. I found out your Scan and Cut will read SVG formats--what Cricut uses. In May instead of serging a project, one of our members is bringing her Scan and Cut for a class and anyone with a Cricut bring theirs--Proj: glass etching with cut template. I will pay for my granddaughter to attend. Her tablet is updated with all of Cricut updates, my laptop is not. I did do glass etching years ago before cutting machines were out. I have the etch cream and she bought the template sticky vinyl. She is excited to attend. You have got to get your computer and software all set up, girl.
