Adhesive Frosted Vinyl Tutorial

I have been a complete maniac with my new Silhouette and the adhesive frosted vinyl. I l.o.v.e. it. I wanted to share the simple process and a few tips and tricks to turn glass containers into organized masterpieces 🙂

Materials: any glass container, Silhouette, frosted vinyl, transfer paper,

smoother [i use a putty knife]

and

THESE simple instruction from Silhouette

These instructions come on the frosted vinyl package:

Pick a font you like. I turned the word sideways to not waste my precious vinyl 🙂 This is ONE of many great things about the Silhouette…it can cut ANY font you already have or install on your computer.

Silhouette says NOT to put vinyl on a cutting mat…I did anyway. I was doing such a small piece, the rollers would not have caught the vinyl. I used the less sticky mat, and it worked perfectly. After the Silhouette cuts your cute word…peel it off of the mat.

Here is the evidence that I don’t follow directions…

Pay attention to the arrow on the cutting mat…

The cutting mat will not go in backwards…I tried 🙂

Once the vinyl comes out of the Silhouette, peel it off of the cutting mat. Remove the access vinyl…leaving ONLY the word. Cut a piece of the transfer paper to fit over your word. use your putty knife to ensure that the word is attaching to the transfer paper…
