How to make your own Vacation Wish Bank
- Tape your Wish Box glass
Begin by removing the back and use masking tape to protect your glass before you spray. Use the Cricut True Control Knife to cut the edges and to make the edges crisp and sealed before you begin to spray.
- Spray Paint your Wish Box
Use your desired color of paint and spray your wooden wish box on the inside and the outside. Allow it to dry before removing your masking tape.
- Attach the Hogwarts at Night
Position the frame backing over your desired area of the scrapbook paper and then use the knife to cut around the edge. Use some craft glue and a brayer to get a smooth application and to prevent
and bubbles from forming. I just use my scraper tool when I apply my vinyl. - Cut and Apply the Wand SVG
Upload the Wand SVG file to your cutting software and cut using your desired color of vinyl. I used some holographic sparkle vinyl for my wish bank. Weed your image and then use the transfer tape to apply it to the glass.
- Attach the back of your Wish Bank
Secure the back to your wish bank and call it good!
