Made using heat-set Easy Weed vinyl and a cheap cotton apron.

Personalization with vinyl is the easiest way to make a quick, fun gift (not to mention all the organization uses… my heart flutters at the thought!).  The ability to do this at any time for minimal cost is something I’m really going to miss about my job.  I made this apron for my friend BJ, who is a culinary arts major and self-proclaimed Bread Queen, and I’m really happy with the way it turned out.  She and I are are members of the same social club at school, and our colors are red and yellow, which explains the interesting (ketchup and mustard) color choice.  The text I used is Sweetheart Script, a personal favorite which I also used on my Christmas stockings (though they were embroidery and not vinyl), while the loaf of bread comes from a free font called FOOD! by Alan Carr.

My scholarship refund will come in soon.  While my plan is to save as much money as possible, I’m wondering if it would be worth it to invest in a Cricut, or something similar. Are those kinds of things are sold used anywhere?  I’ve also heard rumors of Cricuts turning up at places like Dirt Cheap, but never been lucky enough to find one myself.
