Happy September my friends! Most importantly, September means fall (no but really the first day of fall is next weekend y’all) but it also means the first FULL month of school. Whether you’re a student, a mom having to go back to waking up extra early to get the kiddos ready, a teacher losing sleep to grade papers and being up early the next morning to prepare for the day OR maybe you’re just using back-to-school as an excuse to binge purchase office supplies that you definitely don’t need (oops, that might just be me)… You’re probably drinking 2x the amount of caffeine lately. I’ll be honest and tell you that I don’t personally drink coffee but that doesn’t mean I can’t make a cute hand-lettered freebie about it, right?!?! You can download this FREE hand-lettered SVG file over at Craftey. If you are new here, Craftey has sponsored a custom hand-lettered SVG file every month through the end of the year. And that means that every month, I get to share a super cute DIY project with you guys! If you’d like to see the other posts I’ve done with Craftey in the past, just click here to scroll through my Create With Craftey blog category!
Katie, the wonderful community manager over at Craftey, was originally going to put this design on a coffee mug to show you guys how to use heat transfer vinyl on a mug but then her beloved heat gun died on her (RIP). But what do we do when our crafting supplies don’t agree with our crafting schedule? We pivot and make something that is just as cute and then plan to finish the coffee mug when our next heat gun gets delivered (so watch out because I’ll be updating this blog post when it happens).
The white vinyl you are seeing is their Color Chimp Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV). If you’re looking for an awesome bundle of HTV to get you started, look no further. Craftey has done all the work for you and you can simply purchase a starter bundle. You get ten 12″x12″ sheets of some super fun colors! I love when companies have bundles available because choosing one color can be so hard (dare I say… impossible?) so this is a great way to dip your toes in the HTV water to start off your collection. For a more seasoned HTV user or if you just have something specific in mind, they’ve got tons of options available in their shop so I wanted to make sure I mentioned that before I showed y’all the finished product.
AHHHH. The final reveal. Do you guys love it? I swear there is nothing better than throwing on a cute pocket tee and the knotted look is SO in right now and makes dressing it up even easier. Plus, it can give a new life to any shirt in your closet.
Remember this is just one way (technically two ways?) to use this free SVG file and as always, I know you guys are going to create awesome things with it. Don’t forget to tag Craftey and myself on social media when you do because we’d love to see what you create. If you aren’t following them already, you can find Craftey on their Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
Until next time, stay bossy y’all!
