How Do You Use Permanent Vinyl With Cricut?

Using permanent vinyl with a Cricut machine is becoming increasingly popular for crafting and DIY projects. Permanent vinyl is perfect for creating custom labels, signs, and decals that are waterproof and can withstand the elements.

It’s also easy to use and can be applied to almost any surface.

Getting started with permanent vinyl is easy; you’ll need a few materials, including the Cricut machine, permanent vinyl sheets, transfer tape, weeding tools, and a surface to apply your design onto. First, create your design in the Cricut Design Space software.

Once your design is complete, select ‘permanent vinyl’ as the material setting in the software. This will ensure your machine cuts accurately.

Next, place the permanent vinyl onto your cutting mat with the shiny side facing down. Run the mat through your Cricut machine using the settings you chose in Design Space. When finished cutting, carefully remove the excess material from around your design using a pair of weeding tools.

Once all of the excess material has been removed, use transfer tape to move your design from its original backing sheet onto its final surface. Peel away half of the backing paper from underneath your design first before laying it onto its final surface. Then press down firmly on all parts of your design before peeling away the remaining part of backing paper.

Conclusion:

Using permanent vinyl with a Cricut machine is a great way to add custom labels or decals to almost any surface quickly and easily. With just a few materials like permanent vinyl sheets and transfer tape you can create professional-looking designs in no time!
