It certanly looks like The Grinch came in 2020 to steal the best moments of our lives, but reality is, that we can still enjoy the holidays and learn from The Grinch himself and make the best from what we have.

So this year, more than ever, let's forget about rules and start decorating early for the holidays. I have a very easy DIY craft using your cricut machine.

Materials needed

  • 2 oui yogurt jars; remove labels
  • 1 bottle white chalk matte paint
  • 1 paint brush
  • 1 plastic drop cloth
  • 12x12 black vinyl sticker sheet 
  • 12x12 green vinyl sticker sheet 
  • blue cricut mat
  • weeding tool
  • scraper tool (of gift card)
  • 12x12 sheet transfer tape
  • Grinched font (https://www.dafont.com/grinched-2-0.font)
  • Grinch SVG or PNG file
  • Potting soil or rocks
  • 2 glitter pinecones (Hobby Lobby)

Instructions

  1. Lay out plastic cloth for painting on. Place jars on plastic and paint with white paint. Two coats is best. Let dry.
  2. Place black vinyl on blue cutting mat.
  3. Import the svg or png file to cricut design space.
  4. Make image less that two inches in height.
  5. Place the cricut on vinyl on the dial and then tell the machine to cut.
  6. Once cut weed design. Use transfer tape to remove the design from backing and place onto the jar.
  7. Using the scraper tool scrape well and pull slowly back the transfer tape being sure the design sticks to the jar. 
  8. Place green vinyl to blue cricut at. In the design space go to the text tool.
  9. Select the grinched or grinched 2.0 font.
  10. Type out any grinch quote you'd like. Resize to be no taller than 2 inches in height.
  11. Place the cricut on vinyl on the dial and then tell the machine to cut.
  12. Once cut weed design. Use transfer tape to remove the design from backing and place onto the jar.
  13. Using the scraper tool scrape well and pull slowly back the transfer tape being sure the design sticks to the jar. 
  14. Fill jars with potting soil or rocks and place pinecone on top.

I always throw away the yogurt containers, but now I see I can be using them around the house. So cute

Great idea. This could also be good for a gnome. Just add a sock as a hat with a nose. Ohhhh! You have inspired me!
