I was in need for some cruet bottles. See my kids {most of the time} would rather eat at a sub~shop than most other fast food places. With school back in session, we will be making a lot of subs for lunches at home. I found these bottles at the local Wal-mart. {ohh how I wished I lived closer to a Target} They were a little plain, so I add some vinyl.
{oil and vinegar cruets}
I had in mind a really ornate font, however when I couldn’t find a FREE font that I liked, I decide to make my own ornate font.
Used SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) program to create my own font
- Start measuring out a square about 2x2”
- Find a corner design with lots of scroll work and copied it four times
- Make 2 corners small and the other 2 corners a bit larger
- Placing the 2 small corners opposite of each other on the square and repeat with the large corners
- Find a font “V” and “O” that you like and place on top of the corners.
- Click “WELD”. Now you have a square, 4 corners, and a letter that will cut out as one!
Now I’ve got my eyes out for a small plate or basket to hold the oil and vinegar cruets!

Super cute way to jazz them up!!
ReplyDeleteoooh love em! I've been looking for plain bottles like this for the same reason lol. Look at goudy initialen & romantique initals to see if that's what you're looking for. Love how you got creative.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and I like the font you used. I see so many people cutting their own vinyl, I wonder if I should succumb to the masses and purchase my own machine!

Very nice. I love the fonts you made. Wow. I recently made an oil bottle with a seashell attached, inspired by Anthropologie ( there's is $198.00). I think your's are just as nice or nicer!
