How to make Face Planters with scrap vinyl

January 20, 2017~ Cricut, Decor, DIY and craft projects

Put all those vinyl scraps to good use, and make some vinyl face planters! Using your Cricut and scraps, you can put a smile on anything – literally.

What do you do with all those vinyl scraps?! You make Vinyl Face Succulent Planters of course!

 

Yesterday I was scratching my head, trying to think of something to do with all the vinyl scraps I had been saving. You know what I’m talking about, those little bits that are big enough that you think “I should save this” but small enough that you have to have the right project for them to be useful.

The little faces are everywhere these days, I just can’t find any locally, so I made myself some in under 5 minutes.

 

What do you need to make Face Planters?

How to make Face Planters with scrap vinyl

Chose the faces you’d like for your planters. I did a mix and match of different faces from several existing patterns. The Design Space // here // has one face already made for free (Wink #M4FCE34 by Phone Decals). I used different eyes and lips across the 5 planters I had to avoid having one face staring back at me the entire time.

I also used these two lips from the design space : Puckered Lips #M33255 by Party Photo Props, and Lips #M3DD2A by Don Juan. They’re free to use so it was perfect for me.

Load the images into the design space and begin cutting! I cut each piece separately because of the size of my vinyl scraps, and then I cut the lips. If you were doing them all in one colour it would be easier eh?

Using transfer tape, apply them to you planters. Don’t forget to leave space for the lips! Cut the lips and apply them in the same way as the eyes.

Easy DIY Face Planters

Display! I took the time to switch around the faces and eye components to really get the different faces, so it took me an extra minute or two to create these, but it was well worth it!

See that little lady on the box? Well, it either slipped or fell to the floor about 6 times while I was doing this and finally shattered. I only have a few photos but they sure are cute! I also envy all of these ladies their lash game. Talk about #lashgamestrong.

Today I have the immense please of sharing a few o Today I have the immense please of sharing a few of Seana’s squares. You likely know her as @bellybaila the Glamohemian ✨ I first met her this summer during @albieknows ‘s initiative called #sharethemic and have been IG friends since. I’m compelled by the rich colours, layered spaces and her smart design. It packs a punch and is filled with beautiful pieces by Black artists. What I wouldn’t give to poke around a room of hers and explore everything that we don’t see in photos. Give her a follow for the colours, but stay for her captions ❤️

I keep thinking about the entryway console I made. I keep thinking about the entryway console I made. I was inspired by a Mendl’s box from The Grand Budapest Hotel, and tried to make the furniture equivalent. I think I did it! 
What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever been inspired by? Pretty sure this is mine.

Design only works if it works for you ✨ Looking Design only works if it works for you ✨ Looking back, this setup was optimal for conversation, and assumed that Dan and I would only casually watch TV. That *was* the case until June arrived, and suddenly I was pinned to the couch for many hours a day while pumping and/or breastfeeding, and suddenly it felt off. Add to that, a rolling and crawling toddler, and suddenly there were too many obstacles. Thinking about how our spaces have changed with our needs, really shows how much design has to work for you.

Like her nursery, it may take me a few tries to get it right (first try, pictured here) but now that June’s personality is shining through, it’ll be a good reflection of her.
