Spoil your teachers with personalized teacher gifts they will LOVE. Add their name and some cute details to their classroom supplies with Cricut vinyl.
Measure your item and size design to fit it accordingly.
Click 'Make it' and add vinyl to a Standard Grip mat.
Load mat and follow prompts to cut vinyl.
Weed vinyl (remove the extra from edges and inside letters.)
Apply transfer tape to the vinyl and use the back of a weeding tool or your fingers to rub the transfer tape on well.
Pick up transfer tape from one corner and carefully transfer vinyl to the item you will be personalizing. Rub it on well, then slowly peel off the transfer tape from one edge, diagonally.
How to Make Stripes with Vinyl
Put vinyl inside a paper cutter, and measure how big a stripe you want to cut. Exactly how you would if you were cutting card stock.
Slide the blade across the vinyl.
Peel backing off of vinyl and apply stripe to item you want to personalize.
Weeding and transferring small text is much more difficult than big text! Often the small letters want to lift while weeding and can easily get stuck to the sides of the vinyl you are pulling up.
Take your time.
Use scissors to cut pieces of the excess vinyl from the sides while you weed so that it doesn't stick to letters and pull them up.
