I had a chance to play with the vinyl this week. I recently purchased new clear containers for my pantry. I needed some labels. So, I thought the vinyl would do the trick. I designed some Pantry Labels and you can download them for FREE right HERE through the Monday. Then you’ll find them at the Silhouette Online Store after that. There’s just something about a nice organized pantry that makes you feel good, huh?
There are tons of fun applications for vinyl. And, it’s really easy to use. Here are the steps I followed to cut these labels:
1. Load the vinyl on the roll with no cutting mat into your machine. Adjust the rollers to the right width if you have a cameo.
2. Set the blade to 2.
3. Open the Pantry Label art.
4. Set the media to Vinyl.
5. Cut.
6. Remove the unwanted vinyl from around the art. Leave the labels and words on the paper. Throw the rest away. Use a hook to “weed” the unwanted bits from between the letters.
7. Apply transfer material to the front of the art. Use a scraper to make sure it’s stuck good.
8. Cut the labels apart at this point.
9. Remove the paper backing and apply the vinyl art to the plastic surface on your canisters. Use the scraper again to make sure it’s nice and smooth.
Note: Silhouette make a scraper and a hook tool that make this easier, but you could use tweezers and a spatula or something if you don’t have those tools.
Have a great weekend and good luck on winning the Portrait!!
