I have had a roll of chalkboard oilcloth sitting around for a while and was not sure exactly what to do with it. Then I thought screen-print on it! So I hand drew a variety of different frames and screen printed them onto the oilcloth using the YUDU and metallic inks. Then I stitched the frames onto larger pieces of colored fabric vinyl, decorated a bit and finished them off with top corner grommets. I had so much fun I made about 20 of these, each different and unique. Below are just a few. For the complete tutorial click here:Â Oilcloth Chalk Boards How To. Happy Crafting xoxo Lovely Lula
Some of the fun I will get to have this summer will happen when my new Cricut Cake arrives in just a few short weeks. In preparation for all the baking fun I’ll be having I decided to transform part of my pantry into a baking studio. I figured it needed some organizational attention anyway so why not make it a fun project!
One thing that came out of this plan was a hunt for hot pink wood grain oil cloth. Well guess what it does not yet exist. Sad, I still couldn’t let go so I found hot pink wood grain fabric and did a little research on how to make my own oil cloth. By miracle of miracles there is a product on the market to assist with this! It is called Heat-N-Bond Iron On Vinyl Protection.

For the Baking Studio I used wooden drawer systems from IKEA to put all the small stuff it. I created labels for every drawer by cutting chalkboard oil cloth and stitching it to some of the wood grain fabric then I wrote the contents of each drawer on each label in white chalk.
My Kitchen Aid Mixer is in place, as is my tool caddy with tips and colors. Now I just need my Cricut Cake to arrive and I’ll be baking and decorating like mad. Maybe while I wait I’ll bake some regular old cupcakes.
