I just have to say I love my Silhouette!!!! I have so many things planned to do with it. This was my first project with it.
My kids seem to do their chores better if they have a fun visual so I came up with these chore charts. I had seen some kind of like them around blog land. Here's how I did them.........
I started with some cheap frames I found at the local Dollar General. I didn't like the black color so I spray painted them, white for the girls, and brown for the boys.
I then chose some fun papers, cut them to size the inside of the frame, and mod-podged them onto the frame.
I then used my Silhouette to cut the list of chores with their premium white vinyl. When you use the vinyl make sure you mirror the image so it cuts the right way to stick on the inside of the glass. Use the transfer paper to transfer the vinyl onto the glass. Then put your frame together. I got some fun colored dry erase markers and velcro them onto the frame, so then when the kids finish a chore they can cross them off. This has worked wonders having my kids get their chores done, and even better yet, they think that doing them with this chart is much more fun!
Also if you don't have a Silhouette you can just print the chores on a piece of card stock and them put it into the frame.
