Winner and Update on Vinyl Glasses

Remember these decorated plastic glasses I made back in April?  Well, I had a lot of questions at the time about how well the vinyl would hold up since I hadn't used outdoor rated vinyl.

So, six months later, what's the result?

Well, I am here to tell you that on two of the glasses, it has held up perfectly - they look exactly like the photos above!  And that includes washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack (cause I wanted to test them out for you guys, not because I don't like handwashing things...definitely not because of that...LOL!).

So, what about the one glass where vinyl started peeling up?  It was because the vinyl I put down had a little gap - I didn't get it to lay flat.  And that's the problem.  You must get the vinyl to lay flat with no puckering and gaping.  I had smushed it and it had a bump and that was enough for water to get in there and start wreaking havoc.  So, you have to get it perfect.

Wondering where to get vinyl?  I get mine from Expressions Vinyl (click HERE to order).  Plastic Cups were from Walmart, in the kitchen accessories aisle (around $4.50 each).  I like the solid color area on these glasses - it provides a grip that's nice.

And now, onto the Gingerbread Cartridge winner - Crazy4Christ!

Wondering what happened to Christmas Card Monday this week?  Well, let's just say my card didn't come together like I had hoped it would...So, we'll be having a Christmas card on Thursday...so check back!

  5. Congrats to the winner! Thanks for the info. I have found that even the wall pops stick very well. I have several family members as guinea pigs for projects. I made car window decals with wall pops and 2-3 years later the decals are still stuck even in the NJ weather.You have to be sure the surface is very clean and dry.

  14. Hilarious that you said "just one bump, and it was enough for the water to get through!!!" I've heard that same lingo during plumbing problems in the past...Water can be an evil, evil thing when in places where it doesn't belong!!!
