Quick DIY Kitchen Decor Crafts

I was looking at creating some fun kitchen decor. I’ve seen “EAT” and “YUM” wall art and pictures at local decor stores. I wanted to create something similar with the letters welded so it would flow together and be easier to apply with vinyl.

I started with a simple script font. I then converted it to outlines and adjusted each letter in Adobe Illustrator. (I like to create thicker letters and most script/fun fonts have thin spots that won’t cut well.) I extended the scrolls at the end of the letters and welded it all together.

Now, let me show you what I made with this YUM SVG file.

Let’s get going – these are all quick decor ideas. After gathering your supplies, you can probably do them in about 10-20 minutes tops!

DIY Tray Kitchen Decor Craft with Free SVG

Supplies I Used:

• YUM Free SVG
• Cricut or personal cutter
• Tray (or frame)
• Waverly matte Chalk Paint – Agave color
• 2 Baby Forks
• Soft brush for chalk paint (foam brushes don’t work well for this)
• White Vinyl (ORACAL 631 white matte) & transfer tape

My first idea was this cute little tray (about 9-inches) I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I painted this one with Agave blue chalk paint (from Walmart). It took 2 coats and was painted nicely.

The small jar was under $2! {Love this Blue Color!!} Can’t wait to see it done!

I grabbed a jar of their Waverly clear coat but wasn’t impressed. I’ll stick the Rust-Oleum Chalk Protective topcoat matte clear for chalk paint. I ended up painting another coat of the Agave blue because I didn’t like the look of that Waverly clear coat.

Let this dry completely. Mine sat for more than a day. Next, I added a couple of baby forks I found at my favorite thrift store. Finish it up by adding some twine to the handles.

I created the YUM SVG and cut that to fit in the ridges. Easy enough….

Next, I added a couple of baby forks I found at my favorite thrift store. Finish it off by hot-gluing some twine to the handles.

Finished Tray

IDEA: You could also use an old frame. Be sure to mirror the Yum if you add it to the back of the glass. Or you can add it to the outside and then glue the forks on there too. Would be fun to add some material, burlap or pattern paper behind the glass too.

10-minute DIY Kitchen Decor Craft with Free SVG

Second item: Charger plate wall hanging

Supplies I Used:

1. Free SVG YUM design
2. Charger Plate
3. White Vinyl (ORACAL 631 white matte) & transfer tape

Download the free SVG YUM design for your vinyl here. Next, upload the SVG to your Design Space.

As shown, it works best to begin by using a circle shape in Design Space, the exact size as my charger’s center, to make sure the size looks good before cutting. Remember to delete the circle before you cut the “Yum” vinyl.

Be sure to set the Cricut to match your product setting. I’m doing a happy dance, I  remembered to check the settings on my Cricut before I cut it this time. Yay me!
