Let’s Create an Easy Teacher Gift

Once I finally got my act together, this took less then 5 minutes to make. Seriously this project was total user error. Always double check the cutting instructions- don’t be a Jenny! First I thought I just cut adhesive foil on vinyl- wrong! Then I cut it on Adhesive Foil, but I couldn’t weed it because it didn’t cut all the way through. Third time was a charm….It was in this case, cutting it on adhesive foil matte was perfect. The moral of this story is double check your material and if your adhesive foil is matte or not.

Okay! Now this is a really simple tutorial and project. All the teacher SVG are so cute, but my son’s teachers are so sweet and caring I wanted something with hearts. This Lovesvg was perfect.

Size your design for your computer mouse. Then cut your design using the strong grip mat. Using new Cricut mats is amazing, it brings me so much joy.

Weed your design just like vinyl.

Use transfer paper to add it to your mouse pad.

That’s it! Your mouse pad is ready to gift to your child’s teacher. The adhesive foil is so pretty and the colors look so cool depending on the light. This is actually my first project with foil, but it won’t be my last.

Do you think your child’s teacher would love this?
