- Download The Mr & Mrs Split Monogram SVG
- The Font For the Est & The last name is Deadhead Classic
- The glitter is Moxy brand, color is Champagne
- Black 651 vinyl is from Amazon
- How To Make A Split Monogram
For a more detailed Step By Step:
I used Moxy brand glitter for these, in a Champagne color
For the 3.15 inch disc ornaments, I made this 2 inches wife by 2.321 tall
Weeding these is tedious.
For several of them, I redid the Est. Date at the bottom in a larger font, cut separately.
Reverse weeding does help, but the tiny letters were still difficult.
I didn't notice the U was crooked until I took the photos.. I was able to fix it. 651 vinyl is permanent, but it takes something like 72 hours to cure, so for the first day at least, it's fairly easy to remove and re-position. Thankfully! :-)

Layered Paper Shadow Boxes (The Dollar Tree Version)
Cut paper designs, layered with pop dots in between, and a strand of lights at the back, form a lighted layered shadow box.
Supplies:
- 3D Adhesive Dots (glue dots) For Dimension
- White Cardstock - try heavier cardstock, with some texture, for a more finished look
- Shadow Box - watch for these to appear at the Dollar Tree, or go on sale at Michaels. You can also find them on Amazon here. Also watch for cookie tins at Christmas time, with clear tops. Or, you can make a shadow box from paper.
- LED Lights - I used the battery strand from the Dollar Tree, but many prefer the much more expensive LED tape lights
- SVGs for this design
Using The Digital Dollar General Coupons
Dollar General has a great, simple, digital coupon system. Simply add all of the coupons to your account, then at check out, type in your phone number, and the system will automatically apply the coupons to your total. Just click on the yellow box with the plus sign at the bottom of the coupon, to add them to your account.
Go here and login to add your coupons
You can also download the app to your phone and add them from there!
Then when you check out in the store, there will be a grey box on the check out screen, asking you to sign in to save. Select it, type your phone number on the pin pad, and the coupons will automatically deduct from the totals - you will see the deductions on the screen under each item that has been scanned.
Almost every single Saturday, there is a $5 off $25 coupon available. You can add it earlier in the week, and save when you stop at Dollar General on Saturdays.
There are a combination of Dollar General Coupons and manufacturers coupons available. If the coupon has an M, like the one shown here, it is a manufacturers coupon. This means I will get 50 cents off my scrubbing bubbles today, and also an additional $5 off my total order, when I spend $25.
It's pretty quick and easy, with no need to carry around a stack of paper coupons!

Mop & Glo Vs. Polycrylic For Glitter Ornaments
Making Glitter Ornaments with Mop & Glo & Polycrylic, a Comparison
Quick Links:
- Polycrylic - this is NOT the same as Polyeurethane (Costs Around $9 on Amazon)
- Mop & Glo - I tried the blue bottle, but have not yet tried the Pledge version! (Cost around $5 at our grocery store)
- Clear Plastic Ornaments are from Michaels
- I like the Recollections Extra fine glitter, locally I get it at AC Moore
- Step By Step How to Make Glitter Ornaments
- An Index Of Tips, Tricks & Tutorials For Making Christmas Ornaments
I applied as normal - using a lot of both, then dumping the excess back into the bottle/can, and flipping the ornaments upside down in an egg carton for a minute or two to drain any excess out. Immediately you can see a difference - the mop and glo is thin and clear. The Polycrylic is thick and cloudy.
It is really nice that the mop and glo comes in a pour spout! I should save the bottle and reuse it to hold my Polycrylic when I'm done! But for now, I use a condiment bottle (you can often find these at the Dollar tree in the summer time, sometimes in red and yellow.) The top of the mop and glo bottle does pull off, so I could drain the excess liquid right back into the bottle.
The Comparison
Both work. But the Polycrylic ornament has much better coverage. The Mop & Glo ornament is light and see through.
The Comparison, with them hanging on a tree
For me, polycrylic is the clear winner - but it will depend on the look you want, there are times less coverage may look better with a design!
Other Products I've Seen Used:
- Hair Spray
- Murphy's Oil Soap
- Glitter Glue
- Pledge Floor Cleaner
