Ever since I’ve gotten the hang of making DIY temporary tattoos using Silhouette’s Printable Tattoo Paper, I’ve been looking for another reason to make more. And when there’s a ton of great designs on the Silhouette Design Store that fit my friend’s baby sprinkle’s theme…I knew it was a sign from the craft gods!

It was very hard to only offer three designs for the DIY Ink Yo Self station but the ones that made the cut are:

These are all cut files but you can “convert” these designs into non-cut graphics by following this tutorial. The only cut actions I added are the rectangle/circle shapes around the finished design. This is so that they can individually passed out to guests or hung up on the board as shown above.

For whatever reason, I have random frames at home and this 12×12 frame from Michaels was the perfect backboard to display the temporary tattoos. I dropped in a sheet of 12×12 scrapbook paper as the background and taped each tattoo with fun and colorful washi tape. At the party, I set up a roll of paper towels and a small bowl filled with water. A super simple set up for a whole lot of fun! Both kids and adults had fun “inking” themselves!
