How Do You Put Vinyl on a Tumbler Silhouette?

Vinyl is a versatile material that can be used for all sorts of projects, and the Silhouette machine allows you to easily apply the vinyl in an efficient manner. Here are some tips on how to properly put vinyl on a tumbler using a Silhouette machine.

Step 1: Gather Materials
The first step in putting vinyl on your tumbler is to gather the necessary materials. You will need the following:

  • Silhouette Machine
  • Vinyl Sheet
  • Transfer Tape
  • Tumbler

Step 2:Designing Your Image
The next step is to design your image. This can be done directly in the Silhouette software, or you can use an online program such as Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Once you have designed your image, save it as an SVG file so that it can be imported into the Silhouette software.

Cutting Your Vinyl with the Silhouette Machine
Now that you have your design saved as an SVG file, it’s time to cut out your vinyl with the Silhouette machine. Place your vinyl sheet onto the cutting mats and load them into the machine.

Then select “Cut” from the menu and choose “Vinyl” as your material type. Once you have selected “Vinyl”, click “Send” and let the machine do its work.

Applying Transfer Tape and Vinyl to Tumbler

Once your design has been cut out of vinyl, it’s time to apply it to your tumbler. First, you will need to apply transfer tape over top of your design.

This will help keep all of the pieces together when applying them to your tumbler. Once this is done, carefully peel off all of the pieces from their backing paper and place them onto your tumbler. Make sure all of the pieces are lined up correctly before pressing them firmly onto the surface.

Removing Transfer Tape

Once all of your pieces are firmly applied onto your tumbler, carefully remove any remaining transfer tape. This should leave only your vinyl design on the tumbler surface.
