Silhouette Cameo

Since I received my Silhouette Cameo for Christmas I have been trying to find all sorts of things to do with it. I have had these cereal containers from Tupperware for years so decided to spruce them up a little. Also, I saw this idea for moving syrup into a squeeze bottle and labeling it too. I love it! And who would have thought changing the container would make such a difference in the mess? Very little drips of syrup if any!



Grips Bag

My niece recently received her grips for gymnastics. So proud of her! She asked me if I would make her a grip bag. I had never heard of one so started looking on Google. Apparently, they are pretty fancy looking! She wanted it like ones she had seen with leo material (swimsuit almost) and some snake skin suede too. I had no idea on what kind of closure to make either. Most are made with a click at the top and some are drawstring. She wanted the click closure. So, come to find out, they click like snap bracelets! I started looking for some tutorials and found that they can be done with metal tape measures, just cut to fit. Here's how it turned out...I think she's pretty happy with it too!
