I am thrilled to announce that I will be giving away a Silhouette Portrait! If you have been wanting one of these wonderful little machines, now would be a great time to purchase one, since Silhouette has a special money saving promo this month of both the Silhouette Portrait and the Silhouette Cameo.
I love my Silhouette! I have been using it like crazy making vinyl labels for many things in my house. I used it in my laundry room and now I am making labels for the storage boxes in my closet that hold my toiletries stockpile. I am sharing a quick tutorial so you can see how easy it is to cut and apply your own vinyl letters. It really is super simple! You’ll be amazed how quickly you can personalize items, home decor, gifts and more.
Once you cut the vinyl with the Silhouette, you will want to remove the extra vinyl from your image. Super simple. The second image shows what it will look like once all the extra vinyl has been removed.
Next you use the transfer tape and cover your entire image with the tape and give the image a good rubbing so it will all attach to the transfer tape. Carefully remove the transfer tape, the image should be attached to the transfer tape. In the last photo you can see what it will look like when the image it attached to the transfer tape.
To apply the image you adhere the transfer tape directly to your item. Once again, give the image a good rubbing and remove the transfer tape. Voila! Your image should be adhered to your project. It really is super easy! The vinyl transfers to the tape and then to your item with ease.
