Vinyl for your TOES!

i AM HERE to tell you all that Vinyl isn't just for wood crafts or the walls. NOPE, YOU CAN put it on your toes too. Well, I did anyway! ;)

So I was staring at my hideous looking chipped toes today ... and thinking PEDI... AND ballet flats are fab., but not in the hot summer sun and heat. TIME FOR A NEW PEDI. So i gave myself a pedi. While waiting for my toe nail polish to dry I checked my blogs and FB ha! ... and while sitting at the desk i looked at my cricut... and BOOM it hit me.... I had to cut out some small vinyl prints from my cricut. I used the "Home Decor cartridge" once cut they went on my toes. I cut out cupcakes, lady bugs, birdies, and crowns. I liked the crowns best!!!
How cute are the little birdies?
You can use a sewing needle to pick out the itty bitty vinyl pieces. It works great.
I used my cricut spatula to pick up the little piece and place it on my toe carefully.
I sealed it with a good coat of top coat nail polish.
HOW FUN WOULD IT BE TO DO A PEDI. party if you have a cricut or know someone that does.... then you can cut out all kinds of fun designs for your friends have a bunch of nail polish and go to town.... HMMMM, I may have to do that!

NOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE HOLIDAYS.... and had i thought of this before the paint job, I would of chose red polish and did white vinyl stars on my toes. However, Orange toes with little spiders for Halloween, Red toes with bulbs for Christmas.... etc.

I wish I had a Cricut or had a friend who did. Hmmm. Maybe you could sell them to people? I'd buy a few of them. I love cupcakes.

That is an amazingly fantastic idea!!! Can't get over it! If I had a cricut, I would probably do this project right now and have some cute little toesies to show off at work.

You should cut out a bunch of different ones, and print the pictures you showed here and "hock" them from Salon to Salon in your town. People who've just had a Pedi or even the owners of the salons, would SCOOP these up! You have the machine, they don't! Would you make a profit at 2.00 a set? For the big toes, and 5.00 a set for all ten toes? I don't have a machine or know anything about the costs of vinyl, but just thinkin' for you here!

Mel Tales said...

Stacy @ She's {kinda} Crafty said...

I totally made top vinyl this weekend (for the Gator game) and my husband that it was crazy, but clever! Great idea!

Alisa said...

That is such a cute idea! I'll definitely be trying this when we get some warmer weather!!

Miranda said...

Oh my gosh! I love this idea. I've never thought to do this. I am totally following you now. What a lot of money I'm going to save. My nail salon charges $5 a toe for a special design like that. Yay!

You mean I have been paying big bucks to have designs done on my nails every two weeks and I can do this with all the colors of vinyl that I have at home! Well, "SHUT MY MOUTH." I love this! What a great discover.
