Craft Vinyl – Angel Direct Products Review

December 2, 2015 by Pam Larmore 5 Comments

When I received a roll of Angel Direct Products vinyl, it looked pretty ordinary, however when I started using it, I had an “AHA! Moment”.

Angel Crafts Products - You will love craft vinyl from Angel Crafts. I was amazed at what a difference a small packing change could make. Here is a fun craft that I made using it. It can be used with the Cricut Explore, Silhouette, and other cutting machines.

Normally, when you receive vinyl, it is rolled tightly into a small roll, but the Angel Direct Products vinyl was on a 2 1/2″ cardboard core.  Honestly, I didn’t think that it would make much difference, but YES IT DOES!

Fighting with a 12×12 piece of adhesive vinyl is sort of like trying to stuff 5 frisky cats into a cardboard box.  You need lots of hands and even more patience!  Even then, you end up with a few scratches, a torn box, and a mouthful of expletives!

I was sent this product at no charge in exchange for a review.  All opinions are my own.  I would never endorse a product that I found unsatisfactory.

Because Angel Direct Products vinyl is on a larger core, it unrolls easier and doesn’t curl so bad. Ahhhhh!  Now there’s music to my ears!  Curling vinyl isn’t too bad if you are working on a small project, but when you’re making a large sign, it’s down right aggravating!

Gold Glitter Christmas Bucket - I used loose glitter, and craft vinyl from Angel Direct Products to make this great little project.

How I Decorated this Bucket Using Angel Direct Products Vinyl

During Blitsy’s Black Friday Sleepover Party, the last challenge was to make something gold.  I don’t have much gold, and there was a time limit.  So, I was a little rushed!

I had this decorative gold bucket that I bought last year.  I thought it would look good with some gold glitter trim.

  1.  I used a paint brush to apply a Mod Podge stripe to the bucket.  If there hadn’t been a deadline, I would have taped off the stripe with painters tape, so the edges would be even and crisp.
  2. While the Mod Podge was still wet, I sprinkled it with gold ultra fine glitter.
  3. I used the Cricut Explore to cut the word “joy” out of craft vinyl from Angel Direct Products.
  4. Using application tape, I adhered the “joy” to the bucket.

This was a really quick project, but I love how it turned out!  I’m trying to find a small white Christmas Cactus to put in it.  Watch this video for more crafty information.

As a side note, I LOVE glitter!  It’s a good thing too.  I was wearing black and had gold glitter all over me.  It also made me sneeze and cough, and I had it all over my laptop.  I think it was rather festive.  Nothing like a little sparkle and shine to kick off the Christmas season!

    Great accent you put together for the challenge. I’ve not worked with vinyl yet but am passing your blog post over to my SIL who works with vinyl daily. Thanks for the review. We miss you at PBR! Creative Blessings! ~Kel

    Great idea using Modge Podge for the glitter. I never would have thought of that!
