Welcome to the Countdown to Christmas {Etsy} Party!
Today, I'm pleased to feature Amanda from MWC Vinyl Lettering.
If you've been to any craft stores or have any crafty friends or are interested in home decor you know that vinyl is all the rage these days. I've thought several times that it would be so cool to have a vinyl cutting machine and I've dreamed up all these projects I would do. But seriously, I know I would never get around to them all. So, my project list keeps getting longer for "one day."
Thankfully, there are people like Amanda from MWC Vinyl Lettering who have the creativity and desire to make these projects a reality for the rest of us! Of all the awesome ideas in Amanda's shop, though, I just fell in love with this sweet Nativity Trio.
My Thoughts
Amanda was kind enough to send the Nativity Trio cutouts for my review, and I was excited to finally get a shot at making my very own vinyl creation! Just to be clear, this listing is for the vinyl only, which allows you to have a little DIY fun.
Not super crafty? That's okay too! This is really simple! Amanda sent fantastic directions with the cutouts. She even gave precise measurements of the glass cubes she bought and where she purchased them (though I'm sure you can get them at any craft store). One quick trip to a local craft shop, pulling the Christmas lights out of the attic, and I was able to come home and knock out this project in no time.
The cutout for each cube comes on a separate sheet, so you don't have to cut anything out. The application is quite simple. Then add your lights, and embellish with ribbon or anything else you like and you have a beautiful nativity to display in your home. If you can't find the glass cubes, you could always use something else for the "backdrop"—mason jars, wood, or even three picture frames. Let those creative juices flow and make something to help your family focus on Christ this Christmas!
(I'm having a hard time uploading a picture of the finished product. Hopefully, I'll be able to add one soon.)

Here are a couple of other favorites from the shop ...
I'm a huge fan of wall art these days. This is so sweet!
I've not thought of putting vinyl on doors. This is great though! I also saw one in the shop for the laundry room ... might make doing laundry less laborious if I had fun decorations on the door/room1
What a great idea for staying on track with meal planning!
