Adhesive Vinyl Design
Transfer Tape
Instructions
Use your cutting machine to cut the design from adhesive vinyl, and use your weeding tools to remove the excess vinyl from the negative space.
Use scissors to cut a piece of transfer tape that is slightly larger than your vinyl design. Remove the transfer tape from the paper backing (save the backing for later!).
Place the transfer tape on top of the vinyl design, and use the scraper tool to gently burnish the surface.
Peel the paper backing away, leaving the vinyl stuck to the transfer tape.
Carefully position your vinyl design onto your crafting surface.
Burnish the design lightly with your fingers, and then use the scraper tool to smooth out the design and ensure that it is firmly adhered to the surface.
Carefully peel off the transfer tape. You can now place this piece of transfer tape back on the backing paper and save it for future use.
Enjoy your finished vinyl project!
Notes
Note that the time to transfer your project will depend on the size and intricacy of your vinyl design.
