Difficulty Level: Beginner

Supplies Needed:

Craftables Permanent Adhesive Vinyl

Transfer Tape

Scraper Tool

Cutting Mat

Blank Tray

Sweet Summertime SVG Free Download

Cutting machine

Step One: Design Space Set Up

Import the Sweet Summertime SVG into Design Space and scale it to fit inside the tray you plan to use. I used a tape measure to determine the available space to work with and then created a circle on my canvas in Design Space in that same size. It serves as a mock up so you can scale your image and makes it easy to see what the vinyl colors will look like against the color of your tray.

Use the attach button to attach like colors together so that they'll cut exactly where they are shown on the canvas.

In the cut settings window set the material to vinyl and click continue.

Step Two: Load and Cut Vinyl

Load and cut each color of vinyl according to the order on the screen.

Step Three: Weed Vinyl Designs

After cutting is complete, remove the excess vinyl from around the designs using a weeding tool where necessary.

Step Four: Cut and Apply Transfer Tape

Cut a piece of transfer tape large enough to cover the largest layer of the design and apply it over the vinyl using firm pressure and a scraper tool. Peel the transfer tape away from the vinyl's paper backing and the vinyl design should lift with it.

Step Five: Transfer Decals

Center the first layer on the tray and burnish over the vinyl again with the scraper tool. Remove the transfer tape and reapply it to the next color/layer of vinyl.

Continue adding each color of vinyl to the design until the entire design is complete!

It's that easy! Creating multi-colored or layered designs doesn't have to be scary, the more you do it the easier and more fun it becomes.

Now get out into the sweet summertime sunshine and serve up some lemonade!
