Tennis Ball Ornament

I received some awesome Rowlux materials to play with!!  I really loved this tennis ball yellow colored sheet and decided to make something for my niece.  Jenna takes lessons and hopes to be on her high school tennis team when she is a freshman. 
I found a tennis ball image at the Silhouette store.  I had to custom my setting in order to cut this material.  I tried the rhinestone template setting and it did not cut all the way through.  I played around with the settings and came up with:  Speed 5, Thickness 33 and Blade set to 8.  I did one cut (no multi cut) and had to pop it out a bit. 
Here is me "popping" it out.

I then cut Jenna 2014 out of vinyl using a font from my computer.  I transferred the vinyl to the front of the tennis ball. 
I punched a tiny hole in the top with my punch.
I put a jump ring through the hole and strung some thin ribbon.  I chose green so it would camouflage when hung on a Christmas tree.

  2. Hi Lori, this new material looks fantastic. Loved all the colors and patterns on their website. It did look like they were geared toward higher volume sales. Are you able to purchase just a few sheets? The tennis ball ornament is great. Thanks for sharing this new material and instructions for the Cameo.
