Using Cricut permanent vinyl is a great way to customize your projects and add a personal touch. With its easy-to-use adhesive vinyl, you can turn any project into something unique. From decorating cups and mugs to creating t-shirts, Cricut permanent vinyl can help you make your mark.
Step 1: Gather Supplies
Before you begin, make sure you have all the supplies needed for the project. You will need permanent vinyl, transfer tape, scissors or a cutting machine, and the item you are decorating.
Step 2: Cut Vinyl
Once you have all the supplies ready, it’s time to cut the permanent vinyl. You can use scissors or a cutting machine like a Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut out your design. If using scissors, make sure to cut along the edges of the design for a clean cut.
Step 3: Weed Design
Once your design is cut out, you will need to weed out any excess vinyl from around the edges of it.
This process is called weeding and it helps make sure that only the parts of your design that you want will show up on your item.
Step 4: Transfer Design
Now that your design is weeded and ready to go, it’s time to transfer it onto your item. To do this, take some transfer tape and place it over the top of the design being careful not to move it at all while doing so. Once in place, peel off the backing paper from behind the transfer tape then carefully place your design onto your item making sure that it lines up correctly and is straight.
Step 5: Burnish Design
Once in place on your item press firmly down all over with a squeegee or credit card to ensure that everything sticks together properly and that there are no air bubbles or wrinkles in the vinyl itself.
Step 6: Peel off Transfer Tape
Once everything is pressed firmly into place peel off any excess transfer tape from around your project ensuring that no part of it remains on there as this could cause problems with adhesion later on down the line when washing or using it normally again after use.
