Making nail decals with a Cricut Maker is a great way to add some unique flair to your nails. With just a few simple supplies and some creativity, you can make beautiful nail decals that will last for weeks.
The first step in creating nail decals with the Cricut Maker is to gather your supplies. You will need a Cricut Maker machine, the appropriate cutting mat, permanent vinyl, and transfer tape. If you plan on using any specialty vinyls such as glitter vinyl or holographic vinyl, you will also need those materials.
Once you have all of your supplies, it is time to start designing. You can use the design software that comes with the Cricut Maker or create your own designs on any other design software available.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to designing nail decals! Once you have created your design, save it as an SVG file and upload it into the Cricut Design Space software.
The next step is to cut out your design with the Cricut Maker. Select the type of material you are using, such as permanent vinyl, and press “Go” in the Design Space software to start cutting out your design. When the cutting is complete, remove your design from the cutting mat and set aside for later use.
Applying Your Nail Decals
Once you have cut out your design from the vinyl material, it is time to apply it to your nails. Start by applying transfer tape over top of your cut-out designs.
This will help keep all of the pieces together when transferring them onto your nails. Then carefully peel off each piece of transfer tape and place them onto each nail one at a time until all of your designs are applied onto all of your nails.
Finally, press down firmly on each piece of decal for about 10 seconds to ensure that they are adhered properly onto each nail before peeling off any excess transfer tape from around them. Now you have beautiful custom made nail decals!
Conclusion
Making custom nail decals with a Cricut Maker is an easy and fun way to add some unique flare to any manicure! With just a few simple steps and some creativity, anyone can make stunning nail decals that will last for weeks!
