Total Time 30 mins

Instructions
 

Painting the Glass Ornaments

  • Remove cap from ornament.
  • Squeeze Galaxy Glitter Clear Ice Comet paint into the opening.
  • Place your covered thumb over the opening and shake the ornament until the paint inside has mixed together and covered the inside. Add more glitter paint and shake if needed.
  • Allow glitter paint to dry for about 10 minutes.
  • Next, squeeze some white acrylic paint into the ornament. Avoid using too much paint, better to start with a little and add more as needed.
  • Once again, place your covered thumb over the opening and shake the ornament until the paint inside has mixed together and covered the inside.
  • Repeat for remaining ornaments.

Preparing the Images:

  • Open Cricut Design Space.
  • Click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas.
  • Click on the “Upload” button from the toolbar and browse your downloaded files to insert the SVG file.
  • The image will appear on the canvas. With the image selected, select “duplicate” to make as many rainbow vinyl cuts as needed.
  • Maintain the size or adjust it to fit your ornament. To adjust the size, highlight the image and click on the size box in the top toolbar. Change the measurement to suit your ornament size accordingly.
  • Change the image color if desired to match with the material color.

Cutting the Permanent Smart Vinyl:

  • Select “Make It” in the upper right corner to proceed with cutting.
  • If using Cricut Joy Smart Vinyl, choose “no mat” for cutting.
  • Note the size of the Smart Vinyl needed and cut the length of the vinyl accordingly.
  • Choose the Smart Vinyl from the list of options in the drop-down menu.
  • Following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the different colored vinyl for all the images.

How to Assemble the Ornaments

  • Cut around the images with a pair of scissors.
  • Peel away the excess vinyl around the cut images and discard.
  • Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger in size than the largest rainbow arc.
  • Peel away the transfer tape backing and place the transfer tape overtop of the image. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.
  • Peel away the vinyl backing, leaving just the image adhered to the transfer tape.
  • Next, place the transfer tape over the next rainbow arc and peel off the backing.
  • Continue with the remaining rainbow arc pieces until all are attached to the same piece of transfer tape.
  • Place the image on to the center of the ornament and clip the center of the transfer tape towards the center of the rainbow.
  • Press the rainbow vinyl on to the ornament and peel away the transfer tape. Gently work out any bubbles that formed under the vinyl with your finger nails.
  • Lastly, place the cloud pieces over the ends of the rainbow covering any edges that are uneven.
  • Reattach the ornament caps and tie a piece of decorative ribbon to the top of the ornaments.
  • All done, your Anthro-inspired ornaments are ready!

To be a successful entrepreneur you need to be able to make money out of literally nothing to prove your worth.
.
You can’t start a successful business by asking people to give their courses for free without proving your worth.
.
What’s the guarantee that you’re gonna do the work after getting the resources when right now you can’t make the most of what you have.
.
In Shark Tank people have to go through tonnes of trials before they are able to pitch their ideas to investors, they have to do the homework first to make their idea worth investing in. 
.
When applying for university scholarships people have to show brilliant grades, professional experience, publications in top journals, only then they are considered for the scholarship.
.
Literally everywhere in the world you gotta prove yourself first before you ask for the resources.
If you really want something and can’t afford it, you can always work and save up for it by getting an odd job (babysitting, mowing the lawn, etc.), by selling stuff on eBay. There are a ton of ways to earn quick bucks to invest in education for your business. 
.
You just need to be willing to do the work, to take the first step.
