Make Your Own Vinyl Wall Quote With A Cricut

Ever since I got my Cricut, I have yet to make myself a quintessential vinyl wall quote.

I know, crazy right? It’s one of the first things people like to make!

Now, I admit that I did make one for my parents last year, but that’s the only one I’ve ever done.

Well, this week I changed that.

 

 

I got out my Cricut, pulled together my supplies, decided on a quote, and presto! It was done!

 


In order to use the Cricut to make myself a vinyl wall quote, I did need some additional supplies besides my machine. In fact, for any project you make with your Cricut, you need some additional accessories!

Here are my favorite tools and accessories that I think every Cricut owner should have:

Essential Tool Set ($49.99)

This tool set has basically everything you’d ever need! It comes with tweezers, weeder, spatula, scraper, scoring stylus, scissors, a trimmer, and even replacement blades!

Cricut Tools Basic Set ($24.99)

If the price of the Essential Tool Set seems a bit high, this is a great alternative. It doesn’t come with some of the items like the scoring stylus or trimmer, but it has all the other tools you’ll need! (And if you want to get a scoring stylus on its own, you can get it for $8.99 on the Cricut site.)

Cutting Mat (Starting at $12.99)

The cutting mat is probably the MOST important accessory for a Cricut. It’s what holds the material down while the magic happens! The cost of the mats varies because there are different packs of them. My favorite is the variety pack that is $34.99 because it comes with the different grip types. Another great thing about the mats is they’re all reusable!

Pens (Starting at $12.99)

Did you know that the Cricut can draw a design for you on paper if you don’t want it cut?

Transfer Tape ($6.99)

Transfer tape helps you to move your freshly cut vinyl design from the paper back to the surface it’s meant for. It even has nice grids on it to help you keep the design straight!

So with knowing what accessories are helpful to have, I’d like to tell you a bit more about what I used to make my vinyl wall quote.

I used:

  • Cricut Machine
  • Black Vinyl
  • Transfer Tape
  • Cricut Essential Took Kit
  • Cutting mat

After designing my quote (I chose “to infinity and beyond”), I cut out and placed my black vinyl on the cutting mat and let the machine do the work.

Once it was done cutting, I carefully pulled the outside part of the vinyl that wasn’t needed.

Next, I used the weeding tool and got all the little inner parts that were still sticking between the letters.

This was my daughter “helping out” with the weeding tool after I was done with the project. Before this, I actually had her on my lap as I weeded. She lasted a few minutes before she was done and wanted to go back to playing.

After I was done with the weeding, I measured out how much of the transfer tape I needed and cut it out using my scissors. Then I took the paper backing off and put the tape over the design. I then like to use the scraper to go over the letters to help them stick to the transfer tape a bit more.

Now that I was done with the “hard” part, I got up on my chair and put the quote over our doorway at home!

 

I think it’s a great reminder of the infinite love I have for my family as well as for one of my favorite Disney movies!

As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highl As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highlight something I’m very proud of. 

You see, I used to be an avid reader. I read ALL the time. Like the kid who would stay up way past her bedtime and being a book wherever I went sort of thing. 

One of the realizations for me that I was suffering from anxiety and depression was that I barely read anymore. Like I could count on one hand usually how many books I’d read in a year. And this devastated me because it was and is something I love. 

This year, like others, I made the goal to read more. Didn’t matter what kinds of books or if it was fanfiction. I knew I just needed to read. I got a kindle paperwhite and that plus my AirPods that I got (I count listening as reading because sometimes that’s all I can do), and my meds, helped me to do more. 

When I got this notebook a few months ago, I listed what I’d read and the sight of it makes me so happy to look at. They’re not in chronological order but for next year I will do it that way. 

A lot of these books too have been advanced readers copies! And that’s been really fun to read and review those and I’ll continue to do so.

I tried speaking to her in French but she was stubborn and wanted to speak what she wanted to speak 😹 I can’t complain though because the fact she’s learning an Uber complicated language like Korean makes me proud!

Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I kn Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I know that’s cliche to say but he is my person. He is my positive when I can only think of the negatives in my life. He makes me laugh (and I thankfully make him laugh too!) and I love the family we have created. Even though times are tough and we’ve been hit by many imperial cruisers in our life, we make it through.

Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to fulfill my dream of going to Club 33 for my birthday but I did order cheesecake from @juniorscheesecake through @goldbelly and it was divine! My brother @barney_bro is in the pic with me because his birthday is 2 days after mine. For basically our whole lives we’ve always celebrated together and I am so glad we did it (safely) this year too! He’s the best birthday buddy ❤️

Saturday game night is brought to you by @talkboxm Saturday game night is brought to you by @talkboxmom ❤️ practicing how to say 배고파 (I’m hungry) and similar phrases in Korean. A year ago I never thought I’d be learning Korean, but that’s what Marvel wanted to learn 😹. 

Honestly it’s been a lot of fun and a good challenge for us as a family. We have really fallen in love with Korean (and Korean BBQ lol). 

I’m thinking next year of adding another language. Probably French since it’s one I already know a lot of! 

What language would you like to learn if you could? I really like using talkbox.mom because we use phrases we use at home already so we substitute them in. As such, I’m excited to announce too that we’re brand ambassadors for talkbox.mom! 🥳❤️🥰

Check out talkbox.mom (link in my bio, and hey it would be a good Christmas gift!). I’ve even got some discount codes for you. Use Jessica20 for $20 off a box+book bundle and Jessica5 for $5 off a phrasebook.
