How Do You Cut Glitter Vinyl on Silhouette Cameo?

Cutting glitter vinyl with a Silhouette Cameo machine is a great way to add shimmer and sparkle to your crafts and projects. Glitter vinyl is available in a variety of colors and textures, allowing you to customize your projects to match your style.

It’s easy to use, and with the right tools and knowledge you can quickly create beautiful pieces in no time. Here’s how to cut glitter vinyl on a Silhouette Cameo.

First, you’ll need the right supplies. You’ll need glitter vinyl, transfer tape, scissors or an x-acto knife, weeding tools, and of course the Silhouette Cameo machine.

Make sure you have the right blade for cutting glitter vinyl; this is usually a deep cut blade or “ratchet blade”. If you don’t have the right blade, it may not be able to cut through the thicker material.

Once you have everything set up, it’s time to start cutting! Open up your design in Silhouette Studio and adjust the settings for cutting glitter vinyl.

In order for your design to come out perfectly, you need to adjust your speed and force settings so they are appropriate for cutting through thicker materials like glitter vinyl. You can find these settings by clicking on “Cut Settings” in the top menu bar of the program.

Once you have adjusted your settings, load your material into the machine and select “Send To Silhouette” from the top menu bar. The machine will then begin cutting out your design! Once it has finished cutting out your design, remove it from the mat carefully using tweezers or weeding tools if necessary.

Finally, apply transfer tape overtop of your design for easy application onto any surface! This will make it much easier for you to apply your design without worrying about it falling apart or smearing away due to lack of adhesion.

Cutting glitter vinyl with a Silhouette Cameo is an easy way to add some shimmer and sparkle to any project! With just a few simple steps and some basic supplies, you can quickly create beautiful designs with ease!

Conclusion: Cutting glitter vinyl on a Silhouette Cameo requires some adjustments in order for it to come out correctly – but once those adjustments are made correctly it’s fairly straightforward! Start by gathering all of your supplies including transfer tape, scissors or an x-acto knife, weeding tools, and of course the Silhouette Cameo machine with deep cut blade or ratchet blade before adjusting speed and force settings for thicker materials like glitter vinyl within Silhouette Studio software. Once this is done send it off for cutting before carefully removing from mat using tweezers or weeding tools if necessary before securing firmly onto desired surface with transfer tape – et voila; beautiful glitzy designs made easy!
