Oil and Vinegar Cruets

 

I was in need for some cruet bottles.  See my kids {most of the time} would rather eat at a sub~shop than most other fast food places.  With school back in session, we will be making a lot of subs for lunches at home.  I found these bottles at the local Wal-mart. {ohh how I wished I lived closer to a Target}  They were a little plain, so I add some vinyl.

I had in mind a really ornate font, however when I couldn’t find a FREE font that I liked, I decide to make my own ornate font. 

Used SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) program to create my own font

1. Start measuring out a square about 2x2”
2. Find a corner design with lots of scroll work and copied it four times
3. Make 2 corners small and the other 2 corners a bit larger 
4. Placing the 2 small corners opposite of each other on the square and repeat with the large corners
5. Find a font “V” and “O” that you like and place on top of the corners.
6. Click “WELD”.   Now you have a square, 4 corners, and a letter that will cut out as one!

 Now I’ve got my eyes out for a small plate or basket to hold the oil and vinegar cruets!
