How to Weed and Apply Vinyl Using Transfer Tape - Decals Made With Cricut Explore or Silhouette
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Cutting vinyl with the Cricut Explore is very easy, but weeding it and applying it to a surface can be confusing.
After cutting this vinyl decal with the Cricut Explore One, I weeded it help from an exacto knife. It's important to do it slowly and to be patient.
Then I used Cricut Transfer Tape to put the vinyl onto a wooden picture frame. Sometimes it is called application tape, but it does the same thing.
I give you tips on how to get the letters straight and lined up, and I will tell you about the different types of vinyl for cutting with the Cricut Explore and Silhouette Cameo.
I used Oracal 651 in silver for this project. I ordered it from Expressions Vinyl. They have a good selection of colors, fast shipping, and you can order small quantities at a reasonable price.

Slowest. Tutorial. Ever. This one is so great because it actually SHOWS step by step how to do it and doesn't automatically start with the Cricut machine I don't have. You are a life saver

Thank you very much!! I was able to transfer a hummingbird decal to my car window thanks to your video. Represents my Sweet Love, who passed away 2 years ago.♥️
Thank you Ms PS I Love You Crafts. So many videos talk forever instead of giving you the information (Especially when you're in a hurry to find out how to do something, like I am today). You really have made my day.
I've read about a dozen tutorials and watched a couple of other videos, but I was still so confused about the transfer tape. Glad I found this tutorial because I finally "get it"!

Shevon Baldeo it becomes super flimsy and hard to control, it will never be straight and perfect. Unless it’s like polka dot circles or something like just a shape. It would be easier but those fine lines just buckle.

Thank You soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m currently doing a fashion design commission for someone, and after a headache of mishaps between 3 different cutting machines I finally got the mat needed for my Brother Scan n Cut to do the job. I ordered my vinyl adhesive from Amazon, and realized it doesn’t work the way I thought I could work it. People like yourself are exactly why I tune into KZread, and subscribe to channels definitely to support them in any way possible. Support goes a long way, but sadly the average person believes in taking without giving anything back. Well let me tell you I will be subscribing to your channel!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re a lifesaver, hopefully I can give back like you someday soon. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. Your instructions were clear and very easy to follow. Looking forward to watch more videos!!

Very easy explanation! Your album and the theme are beautiful.
I was having so much trouble with words and phrases but something just clicked watching this video. Thank you so much.
I appreciate your instruction and clarity. I was in constant rewind mode learning how to use my Cricut . Some videos are just for watching a cursor that went rogue all over the Design Space at lightning speed and without dialogue. I saved this video.

I'm having the same issue. However, I saw a Cricut hack that said the dollar tree clear shelf liner paper works just as good as transfer paper.. Heads up: they lied.. 😫 Now I have to go back out and buy the real stuff to transfer my 1st vinyl cut.. 😕

It never works for me, either it's too sticky or not sticky enough. Tried 3 different transfer tapes!!! Whaaaa Thank you for not welding and grouping and flatening and all that crap. 🙂
I love that font, can you share what it is or how I can download it? Great video and I got my first vinyl done b/c of this video!
First time Cricuting with my new machine and wasn't sure how to use the transfer tape. Thanks.

So do I mirror and still do lay my vinyl with shinny side up or down
So if after cutting the vinyl and the letters don't come out very well do I need to put it on the higher setting next time
Any chance you remember the font? Beautiful, ty
The problem I’m having is after I get it on the transfer sheet it won’t stick to whatever surface I’m applying it to. When I pull the tape back the vinyl stays with it. I’m using smart vinyl with extra strength transfer paper. Is the transfer paper too strong for it?
My design sticks to the transfer tape but it won't stick to the glass when I pull the transfer tape off! Help.....
How do I transfer it without a lot of bubbles with something larger? I can't spray water
Exelent dear. After vinyl it will stick to base? Or any varnish need
Thank you! I have been doing this backwards and getting mad lol
Is the transfer tape the same thing as clear contact paper? Could I use it if I have that already?
Can you use this vinyl as decal on car windows?
My transfer tape is super sticky and the grid isn't paper. Its looks like regular tape because its clear. Im having a hard time using it. My vinyl doesn't pull up when I apply it either. Do you have any tips?
What is the brand you use for the application tape.....thanks!
Hi. Thank you for tutorial. What font did you use for this project?

HI.! :) I just brought this tape. can it be used on adhesive vinyl or does it have to be used on non adhesive vinyl? It won't work on the adhesive vinyl im using, thats why im asking:) thanks

I use it on adhesive vinyl all the time. Sometimes it is difficult to get the vinyl to stick to the tape though.
My transfer tape isn't adhering to my vinyl cutout. What am I doing wrong?
I have big one I’m working on but it’s like it’s not cutting all way though.
When I do this, the lettering does not stay on, it comes off right away with the rest of the tape. Am I using the Right vinyl or what could be the problem?
Does this work on glitter vinyl?
What if my vinyl is not sticking to the transfer tape? Idk what to do 😩
What font is that
When I first peel the vinyl the word isn't separating so the text pills off with the negative space. Any tips?
@psiloveyouscrap

I hear quite a few people say they have this problem. I'm not sure if it's the type of vinyl or the pressure used to cut it. I would try experimenting with different settings and see if you have better luck. Glitter vinyl is thicker and easier to peel. See if you still have the same problem when using it.
I am trying to download a free website on my computer on my phone so I can put it on my cricut machine and I'm having problems does anybody know what to do for me
