My Audrey is turning five in a couple weeks and has requested a My Little Pony party. One of my favorite things to do is send the kids home from the party with some kind of handmade favors. I’m working on some other things as well, but I thought it would be really cute to make some temporary My Little Pony tattoos.
The tattoos are of the ponies’ cutie marks. The plan is to have the girls a game (probably pin the tail on the pony or something) to earn their cutie marks. Fitting because in the show, the ponies start out in life without cutie marks and eventually get them.

You don’t need to have a Silhouette to make your own temporary tattoos or any special machine besides a regular old printer. The Silhouette cuts them out for you, but it can definitely be done with a pair of scissors. If you have a Silhouette, go ahead and grab my free cut file for the My Little Pony tattoos here. If you don’t have one, grab the pdf here. I got the cutie mark images here.
You’ll also need some printable tattoo paper, which I admit isn’t cheap. I plan on using the other sheet in the package to make tattoos with my phone number on them for the kids to wear at theme parks and stuff. Head on over to this great tutorial from Lauren at The Thinking Closet for detailed instructions on how to make the tattoos.

I'm not sure. They'd have to be able to print it on the special tattoo paper for you. Maybe you can call some places and ask if you can use that paper?
