Personalizing a few Caboodles

This year for Christmas I bought all the girl kids in my family a Caboodle from Target via Amazon.

Don’t they totally remind you of 1990? I had a pink one that I got for my 5th birthday. I lurved it!!
What little girl wouldn’t want a Caboodle?
I ordered 4 of them. I have a sister who is 10, twin nieces who are 8, and a daughter who is 6. They are all going to flip because they are all girlie-girls.
I even bought some nail polish and chapsticks to hide inside them.
So anyway, I wanted to make them a little more personalized with their name in a cute font so I busted out my awesome Silhouette SD Machine!

First I needed to measure my space so I know how much room I have to work with.
I decided to make each name about 1.25″ x 7.00″
Then I fired up the Silhouette Software downloaded on my ‘puter.
I typed out the four girls names and selected a font. I chose the font “Love Letters” that I downloaded from 1001 Free Fonts. You can download “Love Letters” HERE (scroll down until you see “Love Letters” then download it).
Once my letters were perfect, I loaded the vinyl into the Silhouette and cut it. {I still can’t believe how ridiculously easy this machine is to use}.
From there I simply applied each name to each of the 4 Caboodles.
So easy! And freaking adorable if you ask me!
Holy Moly cuteness, Batman!
I’m fairly confident these will be the hit of the party this year at our annual family Christmas bash. 
And because I love trying to take cool looking photos, here’s a few more artistic shots. 
These personalized Caboodles are just that much more fun now thanks to my lovely Silhouette SD Machine. It’s amazing what a little vinyl can do. Is 30 too old for a Caboodle? I kinda want one now.

Love it – - what a flashback! I had two Caboodles and loved them both. I even had a mini coral Caboodle that I carried in my backpack. I think you are definitely going to have some thrilled little girls at your party!
I tried using your code for the 10% off vinyl and it just showes up with: hoh4ever $100 off a Silhouette SD, plus free cream vinyl, transfer paper, home decor CD -$0.00.
It’s still using the Cyber Monday deal. I’d love to order some vinyl as I just got my machine this weekend.
Thanks for your help!
Very cute! I totally had a pink one of these when I was younger too! I remember them being so popular in the 90s. lol
Awesome! I SO want a Silhouette!
I love it what a great idea! I still have one that I travel with:) A girl is never too old for a caboodle!
Love this! I’m always looking for something new to slap vinyl on. I bet they will be thrilled with these.
OMG, these are a throw back to my boarding school days in middle school. Made me happy just to see these =)
I had a Caboodle when I was in college. I loved to take it camping and when there was a quiet moment and I wasn’t reading, I’d play with it even though I didn’t fuss much when camping. lol
I still have it somewhere.
That’s a great gift for your nieces.
Those are adorable!! I didn’t realize they still made Caboodles? =)
I LOVED MY CABOODLE! I may need to get another one … 20+ years later I have no idea where my original one is. I do have my 1985 Liz Claiborne purse … jules
Squeal-a caboodle!! I totally remember mine with my very first makeup safely tucked inside. Cute project, I did something similar but since I have boys it was a tackle box. Caboodles are way better.
