Holographic Vinyl: Cutting and Application Instructions
Holographic vinyl cutting with a Cricut machine
- Place the vinyl (liner side down) on the Cricut StandardGrip cutting mat.
- Select and size images. Load the rug into your machine.
- Refer to the Holographic Vinyl Custom Cut Guide table below to adjust your machine settings. Use a "kiss cut" when cutting vinyl. A kiss cut is a cut that only goes through the vinyl and leaves the liner intact.
- Press CUT.
Preparation with Cricut Transfer Tape
- Remove the negative pieces from each of the images using the Weeder found in the Cricut Tool Kit, leaving the liner intact. This process is known as weeding.
- Remove the transfer tape liner.
- Take the transfer tape in each hand with the sticky side down. Gently lay the transfer tape over the images. To avoid bubbles, start in the center and work your way to the edges. Use a craft stick or scraper found in the cricut tool kit to buff (rub or buff) the tape onto the vinyl.
- Peel off the vinyl liner at a 45 degree angle. If the vinyl doesn't separate from the liner, simply buff the transfer tape onto the vinyl again, then continue peeling the vinyl away from the liner.
App
- Make sure the project surface is clean and dry. Carefully place the transfer tape with vinyl images on your surface as you would like them to appear.
- Now buff the transfer tape over the surface, starting in the center and moving out to the edges. A craft stick or scraper from the Cricut tool kit can be used.
- Peel the transfer tape off the vinyl at a 45 degree angle. If the vinyl images stick to the transfer tape, simply buff the vinyl onto the surface again. Then continue peeling the transfer tape from the vinyl.
TipsIf you choose to cut both the vinyl and the liner, you can remove the vinyl liner and apply the vinyl to the surface by hand.
