Transferring Vinyl After Cutting With Cricut

Vinyl is a wonderful material to work with, especially when you have the right tools. Vinyl cutting machines such as the Cricut have revolutionized the DIY decal and craft industry, allowing anyone to create custom designs with ease. After you have finished cutting your vinyl design with your Cricut, it’s time to transfer it onto your desired surface!

The first step in transferring your vinyl design is to make sure that you have the correct tools on hand. You will need transfer paper, scissors or a craft knife, and a squeegee or old credit card. Be sure to check that your transfer paper is compatible with the type of vinyl you are using.

Once you have all of your supplies ready, it’s time to start transferring! Start by peeling off the backing from your vinyl design and placing it onto the transfer paper sticky side down. Use the squeegee or credit card to press down firmly on the vinyl and make sure it’s completely adhered to the paper.

Once you’ve pressed down all of the edges evenly, carefully cut away any excess transfer paper around your design. Then peel off one corner of the backing from both sides of your design so that there is an opening in which you can grab and pull away from each other.

Next, place your design onto your desired surface sticky side down. Once again use a squeegee or credit card to firmly press down on all sides of the design until it is fully adhered to the surface. Be sure not to move or stretch out any part of your design while pressing it down!

Finally, slowly peel away both sides of transfer paper from each other as well as from directly behind your design. If done correctly, this should leave only your vinyl design adhered onto its new surface!

Transferring vinyl designs with a Cricut is quick and easy once you know what tools you need and how to use them correctly. With just a few simple steps, you can turn any project into something truly personalized and unique!
