How to make Temporary Tattoos

My daughter and I made these Temporary Ice Cream Tattoos over Spring Break.  We actually made lots of projects over Spring Break.  These Tattoos were created in between making clay animals and Rainbow Loom baskets.  Yes, you read that correctly, Rainbow Loom baskets, not bracelets.  She’s  definitely an  creative overachiever.

 

How to make Temporary Tattoos

This is how one of our conversations went one afternoon….

Hey Mom, do you have any ice cream stickers?  No,why?  I just wanted some.  What else do you have to play with?   I have tattoo paper.   Can we make Ice Cream Tattoos?  Only if I can find something simple  Silhouette Store.   The End.    Temporary Tattoos  are totally easy to design when you  just use Print & Cut Shapes from the Silhouette Store.

 

 

To make the Temporary Tattoos, I selected  the Print-N-Cut Ice Cream Sundae Topper  shapes from the Silhouette Store, mirrored the images then re-sized and duplicated them to fill  up the tattoo sheet.  When you are using the Print N Cut function with your Silhouette you will  need to  set the registration marks before printing  them off on your  printer.

 

After, the design was printed and the ink was dry, I carefully applied the adhesive sheet over top of the printed image and used  my Scraper Tool to rub the image sheet and remove any air bubbles.

 

 

Then I loaded the tattoo paper in to my Silhouette Cameo , adjusted the setting for tattoo paper and press cut.

 

After your tattoos are cut out, carefully  apply the tattoo image side down with a wet towel.  How you like my daughter’s nails?  Painting nails various colors was also popular activity this week.   This is her two -toned neon orange and pink polish from Justice look.

 

Then of course the best part is next,  make yourself an Ice Cream Cone and show off your Ice Cream Tattoo!

 

I think my daughter was thinking  “Brain Freeze” in this picture ’cause I was telling her to eat the ice cream quickly since it was starting to melt.  If you’re in need of  party favors ideas or ways to show your team spirit creating  Temporary Tattoos with you CAMEO is definitely  a way to go or if you’re like my daughter any excuse to eat ice ream is a win-win too!
