With 2016 right around the corner, I’m all about sprucing up my office with a new look. I decided to look for some inspiration on Instagram and I wasn’t disappointed. Here’s is the pretty Instagram pic<\/a>\u00a0from Brit+ Co that sparked my creativity. I loved the idea of using pretty confetti to decorate my desk accessories especially to ring in the new year. After reading the tutorial<\/a> I realized I could do the same, but with a foiled twist, because after all FOIL makes everything classy and pretty! I ended up making my own Foiled Confetti Tray!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are a few things I did differently. Because I like to change\u00a0out the design on my tray, I didn’t adhere my confetti to the actual tray. Instead I \u00a0decorated a clear pocket sleeve with the confetti and then adhered it to the underside of the tray. I did this for 2 reasons: 1) I can resuse the tray without it being destroyed and 2) placing it on the underside helps to protect the design from whatever I place in the tray.<\/p>\n With that being said, let’s get started with my twist on the fun DIY craft!<\/p>\n Step 1: Use your MINC Foil Applicator to foil your toner sheets with different color foil. I actually had some rose gold and gold foiled toner sheets left over from a previous project so I only needed to use the applicator for the light pink foil.<\/p>\n Step 2: Take your circle punch and punch out your “confetti.” Run them through your sticker maker and place them to the side.<\/p>\n Step 3:\u00a0Open \u00a0your Silhouette Studio on your computer. Either upload your own\u00a0logo, expression or whatever design you like into the studio or create it within the program. I uploaded my logo “Pinkimono” and “mommy hustle.” (Cause I gott aget my “mommy hustle” on.)<\/p>\n Step 4: Set your cut settings for Silhouette Vinyl \u2013 your blade should be set to one. Here\u2019s a\u00a0video<\/a> from Silhouette on loading and cutting with your adhesive vinyl. Load your vinyl with the \u201cLoad Media\u201d function on your Cameo. Now send that vinyl through the machine.<\/p>\n Step 5: Cut away your remaining vinyl\u00a0roll and store it. Then cut a piece of transfer paper to fit your design. (Remove the extra vinyl around your expression. You may need to use your hook for the tiny details.)<\/p>\n Step 6: Carefully roll your transfer paper over your expression. Use your scraper to make sure it\u2019s really on there.<\/p>\n Step 7: Cut open your plastic sleeve. Don’t worry, you’ll re-seal it with the FUSE tool.\u00a0Carefully remove your transfer paper with the expression stuck to it. Then line place it where you would like on the plastic sleeve.<\/p>\n Step 8: Grab your sticker confetti. Peel your stickers off the paper and place them where you would like on the plastic sleeve.<\/p>\n Step 9: Close your sleeve. Use your FUSE tool with the cutting tip to seal and cut all of the remaining open sides.<\/p>\n Step 10: Use a tape runner on the corners of your sleeve. Then place it on the underside of your tray.<\/p>\n So how did your desk tray turn out? Did you go nuts like me and update more of your office accessories? I added dots and “mommy hustle’ to my pencil\u00a0cup and note pad holder.<\/p>\n Show me how your desk accessories turned\u00a0out by posting to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with #htgawcrafting. Can’t wait to be inspired by what you come up with for this project!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With 2016 right around the corner, I’m all about sprucing up my office with a new look.
