One of our Homemade Gifts + Silhouette Cameo/Fabric Ink Promo

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

I mentioned that our family chose to each make a homemade gift for one member of our family. We drew names, and my daughter got her little brother. He loves to color, so she knew that she wanted to make him his own coloring book. She then decided to make a bag that he could use to take his drawing and coloring supplies with him to church.

We bought a simple fabric bag at Michael’s which was on sale for $1 (green is his favorite color). We then used the Silhouette Fabric Ink Starter Kit to add an image to the front. His favorite animal is a monkey, so we searched the Silhouette Online Store for the perfect shape. She bought a set of crayons and her gift was complete!

Here is a close-up of how the monkey turned out. Using the fabric ink was easier than I thought it would be, we were very pleased with the results. The Silhouette Fabric Ink Starter Kit comes with everything you need to get started creating custom items.

2 oz bottle of black fabric ink
3 feet of see-through stencil vinyl and clear transfer tape
Silhouette hook
mixing tray
sea sponge
foam brush
exclusive download card good for 10 stencil designs
idea booklet and instruction guide
instructional DVD

Through January 5th, you can get the Silhouette Cameo and the Fabric Ink Starter Kit for only $299. The kit even includes a color chart that shows you how you can mix paints to make any color you want when you use the 3 primary colors, so it’s not necessary to go out and buy every color. I love that!
