Despite the Wings lost last night that ended their home winning streak, I felt the need to celebrate them!  I think that 23 home wins in a row is definitely worth celebrating!!

The idea to add vinyl to a glass cutting board was inspired through another member at the Boss Kut Gazelle owner's forum.

I took the Detroit Red Wing wheel and converted it to a cutable image.  I then mirrored the image because I placed the design on the back of the cutting board for obvious reason.  I cut the red vinyl first (and I've just noticed that I apparently missed a few pieces when I weeded the image. <sigh>  Well, it's mine but I would definitely fix that if I was making it for someone else.) and then applied it to the cutting board.  Then I cut the white vinyl and applied it.

Using the font Helvetica Medium available in the Funtime software, I cut out "Hockeytown North."  Again I mirrored the image and then applied it to the back of the cutting board.  ** For those who don't know, Traverse City is considered Hockeytown North because this is where the Wings have their spring training.**

Now my once boring glass cutting board doesn't have to hide.  I can proudly display it on the counter!!  :o)


Due to the fact that when I first went to cut the Detroit Red Wing wheel I didn't mirror the image, I was left with the wheel already cut out in red vinyl.  WELL, I can't waste it!!  ;o)  Knowing that I had a printable magnet sheet available I decided to make a refridgerator magnet.  I cut the shape of the wheel out from the magent and then applied the red vinyl to it.

Unfortunately the size of the magnet sheet was a little too small for the wheel I cut out but not too bad.

Below is something I did awhile ago but thought that it definitely related to this post.  Using printable vinyl I printed the Detroit Lion mascot and the Detroit Red Wing wheel from the Funtime software.  Then using the print and cut feature, I cut out along the edges of each and then attached them to an extra magnet sheet I have for the time being.  It's nothing permanent and I could easily remove them to put them else where if I find a good place for them.

Thanks for looking!!
