Heat Transfer Horse Tote Bag

I am seriously obsessed with tote bags. I always have been. I NEVER carried a backpack in school...I always had a tote bag. Now I use them for everything, and they are perfect for shopping, the library, toys or whatever you need toted somewhere!

DIY! Tattooed Fruit and Pumpkins for Holiday Centerpieces

When I received my tattoo paper from Silhouette, I put my thinking cap on to try and figure out what I could do that was different. Neither of my kiddos are big into stickers or tattoos...so I wanted to stretch myself...

FRUIT

and

PUMPKINS

were the answer!

I will be decorating all of my holiday tables with this idea!

One of my all time favorites!
Here is a link to the Fall tablescape
with the tattooed fruit.

Tattooed Fruit and Pumpkin Tutorial
Here's what you need:
You just need the Silhouette Tattoo Kit and some fruit or a pumpkin.

Now, I discovered that the bumpier the object {like all those ridges on a pumpkin} the trickier it is to get it to stick...but it is just a learning curve...after a try or two...I got it!
The pears worked like a charm...apples would be fab too!

The pumpkins were more challenging than the pears because the pears were smoother.
My images are from The Graphics Fairy - See below for direct links:
Butterfly Label 
Ornate Scrolls

Here's what to do: 
{I just followed the package directions}
Just decide on a design, print it out using your computer and printer, apply the adhesive, cut out - with your scissors, position and rub, apply a moist cloth to dampen and loosen the top paper...and you are DONE!

And these are the easiest to apply tattoos I have ever tried!

I did a tablescape that I will be showing off on Thursday!

What a great idea for a wedding!
Or any special Holiday table or occasion!

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS IDEA.
