DIY Vinyl Pet Food Bowls with the IKEA Lurvig

February 6, 2018~ Cricut, DIY and craft projects, pets

Okay so this past December while I was at home visiting family I went to IKEA multiple times. Like, I probably shouldn’t tell you how many. I miss the affordable and stylish furniture, the marketplace, and of course the hot dogs at check-out. While I was there I had the opportunity to explore IKEA’s new pet collection up close and personal. While we’re not in the market for beds or cat furniture, I did grab a few of the LURVIG bowls  in different sizes. Fast forward to this week, when I decided to finally do something with them, so I made these DIY Vinyl Pet Food Bowls! The best part is, I did them without using my Cricut.

That’s right! A vinyl project without a machine, just the tools! So this one is not only crazy affordable, but super easy. Enjoy!

Have you wanted to try out a vinyl project, but don't have a machine? Try this simple DIY using a paper cutter, vinyl scraps, and a little bit of diy.

Materials for DIY Vinyl Pet Food Bowls

  • LURVIG pet bowls from IKEA
  • Vinyl scraps – I recommend Cricut Vinyl though 😉
  • Cricut Portable Trimmer

Step 1: Decide on your pattern! I decided to keep it simple with stripes. I could technically hand-cut something more complicated, but this seemed like good fun and easy.

Step 2: Measure the height of the strips you’ll need for your vinyl, and then using the Cricut cutter, cut the vinyl into the appropriate size strips.

Step 3: Cut the strips of vinyl into the smaller stripes that you’ll use in the pattern. I’ve got a 3 piece repeat, with two colours at 0.5cm wide, and one that is 1cm wide. Get cutting!

Because I whipped these bad boys up while I was the studio, there were no kitties present for the photo shoot, SO I used the next best thing! A ceramic cat that I nabbed at Value Village a few years ago.

In the end, I think these DIY Vinyl Pet Food Bowls are adorable, super easy to do if you’re just starting out with Vinyl, and a great way to update your pet’s food bowl situation.

And yes, I definitely added a small mouse to the food bowls, because WHY NOT?!

    toooooo cute!!! Really love this as our bowls are in our dining area so it would just make it look so much better, plus I’m sure our cat will love it! Might find some fun vinyl and cut it out with our vinyl cutter! Quick and easy project, gotta love that!

Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Ch Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Champagne Oak flooring from @goldenselect is the one element (other than paint) that runs throughout our house! It’s a unifying element, and brings depth to each space, especially the ones built around neutrals. It’s waterproof, exceptionally durable (to pets and kids!) and easy to clean. It’s also the flooring we installed in our last home, so you know we love it!
