You guys, I love this painted globe that I made with the help of my ScanNCut:
It was super fun and easy! I found an old globe at a thrift store:
I cleaned it up and then I used my ScanNCut to cut vinyl words for all of the continents and oceans:
And then I applied them to my globe using a gridded transfer sheet:
For tips on cutting and placing vinyl, watch this video:
Once I had all my text in place, I painted over the continents with black acrylic paint…
…and the oceans with several shades of blue paint. Once the paint was dry, I peeled off the vinyl lettering with a sharp pair of tweezers:
Note that I used two different types of vinyl for this project. I used the Brother craft vinyl for the masking of the continents and oceans (it's removable) and a more permanent vinyl for the final lettering shown below.
To finish my globe, I added my favorite travel quotes in gold vinyl:
I love how it turned out!
This was a super fun project to do and now I can't wait to get my hands on another globe to try out more painty ideas!
Thanks for stopping by!

This is such a great idea, Julie! It turned out fantastic. I’m going to be on the lookout for one of those globes. Sometimes they are hard to come by!

Hi Julie,
Saw this yesterday and loved it. Great way to repurpose a find.
I have also be working with the Brother Scan n Cut black Vinyl. I have two glass plates with gold rims.
I made a father’s day gift for my husband. I found a really nice silhouette of Ducks flying over grass and cattails. I worked it out in canvas and then cut it out and placed it in the center of the plate. I also cut out the letters forming the words Happy Father’s Day and placed that around the rim of the plate. Came out pretty good if I say so myself.
I also made him a father’s day card with an aperture of a duck and used the ducks of the silhouette to add to the card that came out pretty good too.
I just do not know how you do all that you do but you do it all so awesome. Thanks for sharing.
