My step-by-step tutorial will show you exactly how to make a PYDLife glass sublimation frame photo calendar from start to finish.
This beginner-friendly sublimation project is possibly the easiest sublimation project you'll ever make.
These glass sublimation frames make beautiful personalized gifts for holidays, weddings, anniversaries, and family keepsakes.
As someone who has never sublimated glass before, I was shocked at how easy it was, and I promise, since I made this for the first time right along with you, it's easier than I make it look.
Hopefully, my process will help you make yours even faster than I did.
Whether you’re new to sublimation or expanding beyond shirts and tumblers, this project is a great way to grow your skills and create something truly special.

If you’re on the hunt for frames, for your next craft, to frame your latest project, or just to add some texture to your home decor go to your local second hand store!
This is just a peek at the frames at ONE of my local second hand stores earlier this week.
There are so many different options and MANY of them are wood and can easily be repainted to match your decor.
Priced anywhere from $.50 to $1.50 for up to 11x14 and no more than $5 for larger sizes (excluding some of the framed art, just the frames) this is a significant savings!!

#diy #cricut #thriftHill I Will Die On As A Cricut CrafterCrafty Housewives2026-02-17 | Every day I see people on social media telling people to not use Cricut brand materials. They’re too expensive. They don’t work. They don’t last. They’re BAD BAD BAD!
This is not my experience. I have signs that stay outside in all seasons using Cricut vinyl and they are still holding up after years.
I have shirts I made using Cricut Iron-on that have lasted over 30 washes with no issues.
I love my EasyPress and my Cricut brand weeding tools.
I know my experiences are not other people’s experiences. And if you had a bad experience I’m not going to tell you you’re wrong.
I just want people to not feel bad for the materials they have in their craft room.
If you have Cricut materials sitting on your shelf, use them! You don’t have to go buy something new because someone said what you have is wrong.
We’re all learning, including brands and they change things all the time.
And, as proof that I am not bias - I have used lots of other brands and I like some and dislike others.
If you’ve been here for a minute you know how much I hate Cricut Joy vinyl. I keep hoping they’re going to change it but unless they want to send me it to test for free I’m probably never buying more.
Drop a 🤍in the comments if you agree and If you made it this far I’d love to hear about materials you use and love that maybe others don’t!
#cricuttips #cricutcrafter #cricut #cricutmadeCricut Tip - Choose the correct mat for your material!Crafty Housewives2026-02-16 | Cricut Tip - Make sure you’re choosing the correct mat for your materials!
Choosing the right mat is the first step to getting clean cuts AND getting the material off the mat without ruining your project!
Do you have a favorite mat? I always reach for the blue, LightGrip mat first and it usually works! #cricut #cricutmat #cricutmaterials #cricuttipLets Make a Valentine! #valentine #flipbookCrafty Housewives2026-02-14 | POV - you sit down and craft instead of making a plan to craft and getting stuck in the looking for inspiration loop.
Did you craft your Valentine's this year?
It’s been a minute since I took time to sit and paper craft, and it was so fun for me! I am realizing I miss crafting just for the sake of crafting. Just because it’s fun.
I didn’t film the process, but it isn’t hard. If you’re interested, I can recreate the layout (probably with different papers) and get measurements :) If you’d like that tutorial, tell me in the comments.Cricut + Cardstock TipCrafty Housewives2026-02-14 | Cricut + Cardstock tip - roll the mat off the cardstock don’t try to pull the cardstock off the mat.
Materials, especially papers will curl if pulled off the adhesive mat.
Gently rolling the mat away from the material prevents curling, look at how nice and flat the cut pieces are.
The spatula works great for some materials but I don’t love it for cardstock.Help Me Choose My Next Project!Crafty Housewives2026-02-13 | On my last trip to the thrift store, I found a bunch of wood-framed signs for about $1 each.
As you learned in my last tutorial, I'm all about taking something that is a good base and turning it into something new.
Since these are all wood, I feel like the options are endless, and I have a lot of ideas for what to do with them. I want to create more of what you want to see this year, I would love for you to help me pick which of these signs I should makeover first. I'm not going to lie, covering or sanding the painting someone did on the wood plaque gives me a little pause, but I'd rather use it than have it just sit at the thrift store (it was there the last few times I went).
So, vote in the comments and tell me which one to start with:A - painted wood plaqueB - This is Us framed signC - Every time I get the urge to exercise, wood signD - Blank black framed wood signOther than the painted plaque, my thought is to make all of these blanks reversible if that changes things at all :)Take your Cricut machine out of the box!!Crafty Housewives2026-02-12 | Reminder that you will never learn how to use your Cricut machine if you never take it out of the box.
Don’t be scared. You can do it.
Find one project you want to learn how to make and learn how to make that one thing.
With each new project you’ll learn Design Space better, you’ll gain confidence, and you’ll probably even have fun.
You’re going to make mistakes, every project isn’t going to be perfect and that is okay and normal!!
Enjoy the learning and remember, with every mistake you’re gaining knowledge!
#cricut #craft #craftideasQuick and Easy Valentine Sign #valentinesdayCrafty Housewives2026-02-11 | This Valentine's sign turned out even better than I imagined. It's easy and can be made with just a few items you can get for a couple of dollars.

This project was so easy, even if I made it harder on myself than it needed to be the first time I made it.
Lucky for you, I decided to find a better way. I bought a few more signs and figured out how to make them without all the crazy steps. Now you can make your own in minutes.
Today is February 11, 2026, and this sign is currently 70% off at Michaels. You cannot order it online, but all of the stores around me still have it in stock. I have checked Utah, Oregon, California, Idaho, Maryland, Tennessee, Massachusetts, New York, Maine, Texas, and Alaska, and every zipcode and city I checked has multiple stores with the signs still in stock.
You cannot order the sign online to be shipped, but you can place an online order for in-store pickup.MOD PODGE TIPS! #smallbusiness #craftCrafty Housewives2026-02-10 | Did you know that Mod Podge has a long cure time to be fully sealed? I am using the Matte Mod Podge on this project, and it says to allow 30 minutes to dry between coats, and the Cure time is FOUR WEEKS!
Before the 4 weeks, be very careful to not have other items touch the surface. Don't pack your project away and stack something else on top of it. They will stick together!
To eliminate tackiness, they recommend you apply a clear acrylic sealer over the CURED Mod Podge. So that is after those 4 weeks. Don't apply it before then.
Did you know this? Have you battled tacky Mod Podge before?Make a Personal Book Stamp Today!!Crafty Housewives2026-01-28 | Is this my favorite project ever?!! It just might be🎉

Since I don't have a sublimation oven, this isn't a project I can make using my sublimation printer, and since sublimation ink is translucent, you can't get this vibrant a design on glass using sublimation
UV DTF stickers are long-lasting, water-resistant, and the colors can't be beat.
I received this design at Printing United from one of the booths. I tried to locate the exact design or where you could purchase the finished print and I wasn't successful. Doing a Google search for the photo brought up this shop - homeyhomedecor.com
Unfortunately, when I clicked the image link, it took me to a different design, and I couldn't find it on their site. If you really want it, you could reach out to them with a photo, and they may be able to get it for you.Custom Temporary Tattoos with Cricut and iColor 560!Crafty Housewives2025-10-03 | Today, I am so excited to show you how to make long-lasting custom temporary tattoos using your Uninet iColor 560 laser printer and the Cricut Print Then Cut feature.

While the beamo is a smaller-sized laser, because it is a CO2 laser, it can cut clear acrylic. You can't do that with diode lasers!
I'm not sure the last time I made something that makes me smile as much as this clear little ghost bookmark does.
If you love books or know someone who you'd classify as a booklover, you'll probably want to make them one too!
