Pinewood Derby...AREA 51

 For my sons Cub Scout Pinewood Derby car this year I finally had the idea of using vinyl!  I seriously don't know why I never thought of this before. Those expensive car decals transfers are a pain to work with and the variety is limited. 

I have to give all the credit of this car to my husband from using the jig-saw to shape the car, coming up with the theme and even transferring of vinyl to the car. Yes-he did!  Of course, my little Scout had his input too but Daddy did most of it.

We used Indie Art for the decals.  The vinyl idea started by just cutting flames then my husband saw what else was else was available on the Indie Art cartridge and he came up with the idea of AREA 51. 

We actually do live in Nevada, so the AREA 51 idea seemed pretty cool and my son thinks aliens are awesome anyways.  

Here's how I made it using my Gypsy:

Indie Art- atomic decals cut 1 inch except alien head & flames.

The alien I enlarged on my Gypsy because it's actually the center of the atom symbol.

BTW-I had no idea I had an alien in my Cricut collection!

For the flames I needed to adjust the size manually to 1 inch high and 3 inches long.

Printing Press- Area 51 font cut at .75 inches.

 So, we didn't have the fastest car, Daddy definitely needs to work on some speed next year but the car looked way cool!
