How Do You Do Printable Vinyl With Cricut?

Printable vinyl is a great way to add designs and graphics to any surface, including walls, furniture, books and even clothing. With the use of a Cricut machine, you can easily create custom printable vinyl for any project. The best part about using Cricut for printable vinyl is that it’s quick and easy to do.

Before you begin creating your custom printed vinyl with your Cricut machine, there are a few things you need to consider. First, make sure you have the right materials for the job.

You will need an inkjet printer that is compatible with the type of vinyl you plan on using. You will also need transfer paper specifically designed for use with printable vinyl.

Once you have all of your materials ready, it’s time to start creating! Begin by designing your image or text in whatever program you prefer—Cricut Design Space works well for this purpose. If you’re new to design programs like Design Space, there are plenty of tutorials online that can help you get started.

Next, print out your design onto the transfer paper. If necessary, mirror the image in your print settings so that when it’s transferred onto the vinyl it appears correctly. Once it’s printed out onto the transfer paper, cut around the edges of your design so there is no excess transfer paper.

Now comes the fun part: putting your design onto the vinyl! Place a piece of transfer tape over the top of your printed image and cut around it (make sure not to cut any part off!).

Peel away the backing from both sides of the tape and place it over a piece of printable adhesive vinyl. Rub over top with a scraper tool or credit card to ensure everything sticks together properly.

Conclusion:
Printing custom designs onto printable vinyl using a Cricut machine is an easy and fun way to personalize any project. From gathering materials like an inkjet printer and transfer paper to designing and transferring images onto adhesive vinyl, anyone can do this at home with minimal effort. So next time you have an idea for something special, give this crafty technique a try!
