Double Sided Adhesive Paper to add Glitter

To all my readers who have seen Frozen, which I am guessing is most of you, I am sorry for the earworm I am about to implant with this next project. Just know that it’s all worth it to see how you can make this great winter sign! A winter sign with a dash of pizzazz thanks to using double sided adhesive paper!

This project started out like many others of mine, perusing the Silhouette Online Store late at night while watching TV. When I saw this design, I just knew I had to buy it even though I wasn’t really sure how I would use it. The next day, however, I knew exactly what I was going to do with it – search through my husband’s scrap wood pile in the garage and make it into a sign!

After prepping (sanding) and painting the board I cut out the sign letters in brown and red vinyl and applied them to my sign board. If you need tips, tricks, and tutorial on how to make a typography sign using your Silhouette machine you can read my post Make Subway Art from Silhouette Store Files.

Here is what the sign looked like before. It’s cute, but a little plain.

I could have just painted a circle with Mod Podge onto the center on the sign but 1) there is no way it would be perfectly circle 2) I didn’t know how it would all stick, and stay, to the glossy outdoor vinyl I used and 3) I didn’t want glitter all over my sign.

So I flipped through all my specialty papers until I found the double-sided adhesive sheets that I had purchased a while ago from Silhouette (probably when they had a 40% off sale, which is when I like to stock up…usually around black Friday).

This material is great, you can run it right through your machine, peel off the top, white layer, add your glitter, then peel of the back, yellow layer and stick it anywhere you want!
