Silhouette vinyl project

I had a couple of free hours last night and decided to try using vinyl in my silhouette.
I have been putting it off because i thought it was going to be a pain in the butt, boy was i wrong!
I am so glad i finally gave it a try
(it did help that i actually had a specific project that i had in mind to make).

So here is what i came up with, i am so happy with how they turned out!

These are plastic wine glasses, that now have our
 boat name on them!
I absolutely love them and i can't wait to show them too
my husband and boat friends!
