DIY your Christmas Mantle with anyone or all four of these projects made with a Cricut Maker. The Craft Block uses vinyl cut with the Maker, The picture frames also use vinyl cut with the Maker, The little Santa is made with Cricut Cardstock cut on the Maker and so is the paper Snowflake Banner. All these projects were so fun to make and wouldn't have been possible without the Cricut Maker. In this post I will walk you through making the picture frames but I will link to the tutorials for the other three projects. I hope you find at least one of the projects to enjoy and try yourself.
Cricut Maker blades used in each project:
Paper Banner - fine point blade and scoring wheel tip
Santa - fine point blade
Craft Block - fine point blade
Picture Frames - fine point blade

Materials:
- wrapping paper
- Silver Premium Cricut Vinyl
- 5x7 picture frames (from the Dollar Tree)
- Cricut Maker
- Cricut paper trimmer
Directions:
I used wrapping paper in the picture frames but this could easily be scrapbooking paper or any other decorative paper, even fabric. Just choose a pattern that will not interfere with the lettering.
Cutting the vinyl on the Cricut Maker.
I used Cricut type. Here is a link to the Design Space file.
The vinyl cut and weeded, ready to transfer.
I cut the wrapping paper to 5x7 and placed it in the frame.
To place the vinyl, I made a placement guide with the grid that came with the transfer film.
I wanted to make sure the letters were all placed in the same location.
I used the transfer film to adhere to the frame's edge for easy placement.
If the film wasn't large enough, I used an additional scrap piece to hold it in place.
One done, two more to go!
All three finished and they line up perfectly.
