Tips, Tricks & Tutorials For Using Vinyl with Cricut
When you cut vinyl with a cricut, you are essentially making a sticker, or decal. Once it is cut, and weeded, you will want to use a "transfer tape" to transfer the decal to the item you are placing it on. I like Dollar Tree Clear Shelf Liner [contact paper] for transfer tape.
Once the vinyl is on your item, there is no need to seal it! Often sealers will cause the vinyl to peel.
For best results, leave the vinyl on your item for at least 48 hours before washing it.
Below the section of tips is a section of various projects I've made with vinyl over the years, including links to tutorials and svgs when possible.

Tips For Using Vinyl

Some users prefer a light pad - you can buy them for about $20 on Amazon. To see if they might work for you, try putting your cell phone in a rubbermaid shoe box, or something similar, with the flashlight on on your phone. If that sort of light box works for you, you may like a light pad. Personally, I prefer a good overhead light.

I didn't use an svg for my own canisters, I just used the the Collonar Font and typed the text. These canisters are from the Dollar Tree - find them in the kitchen aisle.
