How to create your own car vinyl

Hi Everyone,

It’s no surprise that I am prepping for my new baby girl soon. As my husband and I are prepping for the nursery room. I wanted to do something that is unique, I want to create a “Baby On Board” with a cute design. We’ve recently been looking for used cars in Hutchinson, KS since we’re thinking of upgrading our car for a bigger one. Especially with the baby on the way, we’ll really need a car that can fit everything in. If we do decide to get a new car, I’ll definitely create some more of these stickers to decorate it a bit! We even started looking at updating our auto insurance seek out insurance companies similar to somewhere like Insurance Quotes to see if we could find an insurance policy that would cover all of us in case the unexpected happens. If you want to create something special for you or your little, below I have listed out a step by step guide on how to create your own Baby On Board design.

Supplies Need:

• Silhouette Cutting Mat (Cameo 12 X 12 in.)
• Silhouette Vinyl ( I used the white Matte Vinyl)
• Silhouette Transfer Paper
• Silhouette Spatula
• Silhouette Scraper

Step 1: Trace your image

• Open the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition
• Open your image
• Choose the Trace option, draw a box around the image and it will turn yellow
• Click Trace, you then can play around with the trace setting and adjust it until you find the perfect trace you want
• You can also create your own design in the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition

Step 2: Cut out your design

• In the Design Page Settings window select Automatic (CAMEO) and Cutting Mat (12 X 12 in.)
• In the Cut Setting, select Vinyl Silhouette brand
• Choose your Silhouette Ratchet Blade ( I have mine set on 1)
• Adjust your image to the right sizing

Step 3: Send to Silhouette

• Using the Silhouette Vinyl paper, cut out the desire size
• Place it on the Silhouette Cutting Mat ( 12 X 12 in.)
• Press the Load cut mat

Step 4: Cut, Press and Transfer Paper

• Remove the excess paper you won’t be needing. To make your life easier, you can use the Silhouette spatula tool
• Once that’s done, cut a large piece of the transfer paper and place it on your vinyl image
• Use the Silhouette scraper to remove any bubbles and go over the design a few times to make sure you got all the edges

Step 5: Place it on your car window

• The only thing left to do now is apply your design on your car.
• Line up your design on your car window and press the transfer tape firmly down
• Get out your scraper tool again and press over the whole design to make sure that it adheres to the car window evenly and securely.
