Silly-Face Soda with Vinyl
Need a quick and easy child’s gift? My daughter needed an auction item for school, so I grabbed a 2-liter bottle of soda pop and created a face in vinyl.
Her class earns fake money for completed assignments, good behavior, good scores, etc. Once a month they get to bring an auction item (limited to $1-2) to sell, and they get to spend their hard-earned money during the auction on what they would like. The better the item they bring, the bigger profit they get from selling it.
Treats and drinks are always a big hit with third graders, as you can imagine, so this time I decided to dress up the bottle a bit. I removed the outer label, cut out the face from this cute monster in vinyl from white, black, pink, and teal with my Silhouette CAMEO, and applied it in layers to the bottle.
She had the cutest bottle of soda there, and she said kids were laughing out loud at the silly face. I’d say that was a success. It’s so fun to dress up something a little ordinary and make it more exciting with the help of my CAMEO.

So, so cute and clever! I cut our names in vinyl and applied them to our CO2 gas bottles that are used in our SodaStream. They have to be taken into a sporting goods store for refills of gas, and I don't want anyone thinking we're walking out with their merchandise. Marking our things with vinyl is fun and makes them instantly identifiable. In your case, it must make you the most popular mom in the classroom! You're certainly the most clever!
That's a great idea for your SodaStream bottles, Barbara! I doubt the kids give me much thought, but my daughter does hear comments of surprise or disbelief that her mom decorated that shirt, box, etc. 🙂
My daughter was involved in the same activity at school a number of years ago, boy I wish I had an idea like this! I bet your project was a hit at the auction! Thank you for sharing and have a great Mother's Day Kelly!
Thank you, Marilyn!
