Step by Step Instructions
1) Open Design Space
2) Make a new project/canvas
3) Insert your image or make a text box and arrange your text (for mine, I went to upload and selected the Auntie Tay SVGs! If you become a member you get all SVGs for free! Click here to check it www.auntietay....)
4) Once you have the image/text how you want it, size the image appropriate for your sign size
5) Once you have it sized how you want, click MAKE IT
6) Select your cut settings - for the 651, I used Vinyl
7) Put your vinyl onto the mat - I used the light grip blue mat
8) Once the film is on your mat, load the mat into your Cricut using the flashing arrow buttons
9) Once loaded, press the flashing Cricut button to cut!
10) Once your stencil is cut, use your weeding tool to “weed out” or remove the excess around the letters you want to stick onto the bottle - don’t forget the middles of the letters!
11) Once weeded, apply your transfer tape - stick the tape onto your stencil
12) Once the transfer tape is on your stencil, peel the transfer tape up - your stencil should come with it - you may need to get it started and help it out
13) Using the transfer tape as the carrier sheet, stick your stencil onto your water bottle
14) Using your scraper, press and smooth out the vinyl (the tape is still on the stencil at this point)
15) Peel off the transfer tape - your stencil will be sticking to the sign
16) You’re done! Enjoy!
