Vinyl Stickers

1. Depending on the cut, put the vinyl into the Cricut, making sure the ends line up with the white pieces meant to hold it

1. If your cut involves anything except a basic cut, you need to put your vinyl on a mat, then put the mat in the Cricut instead (or if the vinyl is too small to fit into the white pieces on its own)

1. Reference “Designing Things & Printing” in the "Cricut Basics" chapter for instructions on how to print; it is the same for the vinyl as it is for anything else

2. After the Cricut cuts out your design and the design is small, cut the vinyl into a square, with your design in the middle

1. Try to use as little of the vinyl as you can to save material

3. Use the weeder (white “pen body” with silver hook) to rip off the excess vinyl (anything not part of your design)

4. Cut out a piece of transfer tape (large enough to go on top of your vinyl design) and peel off the white part. Stick the clear, sticky part of the transfer tape onto your vinyl design, then use the scraper (rectangular equipment in the same location as the pens and weeder in the Cricut that’s flat but then “bulges” up) to press the tape against the design to make sure it sticks

5. Stick the vinyl onto what you’re trying to transfer it to, and use the scraper to stick the vinyl on well

6. Peel off the transfer tape, and you’re done!

1. If the vinyl keeps sticking to the transfer tape instead of your item, even after using the scraper, use your finger to hold the vinyl onto the item as you peel off the transfer tape
