🍷 Applying Vinyl Straight: Trick to Putting Vinyl on Glasses Straight

[@LilRedRachel]

Girl I love how real you are! This is fantastic thanks for the tip!

[@misskg03]

OMG! This was one of the first vinyl tutorials I ever watched over a year ago and I've been trying to find it again! You did a great job of explaining and I never forgot the water trick. Thank you so much for this. Hope you're doing well and still making videos!

[@bernadettenihill7607]

Omg just what I needed. Placing water in wine glasses is a great idea!

[@colemyst]

You can draw a straight line with a marker over the transfer tape if you don't have an image to go by. I did that when I first started at a sign company many years ago.

[@charris524]

Can you tell me the type of vinyl used

[@colemyst]

Your question probably was to Silhouette School, but I use Oracle 651 for permanent use like glasses and Oracle 631 for temporary like for a wall decor. I found them at Swing Design but google for the best prices.

[@nixonroger9612]

i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any help you can give me!

I just purchased my Cricut Explore Air 2, still have it in the box today and I'm dining to get it set up. I have been going through You Tube watching these videos on how to use my Cricut and came up on your video. I want to do some glasses and your video gave me a lot of ideas for glass. I'm in my 60's and just not getting started in crafts. I just can't wait to get started. Keep those videos rolling in. You are a great teacher.

[@chanit2112]

You're just gorgeous. Simply stunning

[@cbbosse]

The clear contact paper from the dollar store does well as transfer tape. You to make sure that it picks up everything from the cut material you are transferring, but it is much easier on the other end when you are removing it from the glass (or whatever object). It comes off small letters or designs much better than the transfer tape. Just my experience...

[@LivinginColorTV]

Catherine Bosse thanks for the tip

[@cindykueczynski2860]

I find it doesn't always let the vinyl go when you go to transfer it to a mug. I buy the contac kind only and have no problems

[@Stuffbysteph623]

My trick's not over. I got more. Hahahaha. Love it. Thank you for this! Super helpful.

[@teachatthebeach7497]

Helpful video! I bought my first Cameo this summer and your blog and weekly newsletters have been invaluable! It's like I'm taking a Cameo class at my own pace. I've been adding vinyl decor to my classroom and making fun t-shirts the past few months. I'm totally in love with my new toy!!!

[@diannamccormack9977]

Ah yes the water tip, how smart is that, my dear you are adorable!!

[@joikelley-rivera4668]

Using the water was totally GENIUS!!! Tfs! 😊

[@bonniecary268]

Oh my gosh you are so cute and REAL. Love it!!! Great ideas.

[@jill_C-ArukahattheWell]

[@alicebrown60]

I love the water leveling trick! Thanks for sharing!

[@juliehoward4761]

[@luchiita7]

[@AntonioVillamar]

You are super entertaining....! And very good teacher too. Thanks!

[@jootb]

Great Video but.... I could focus because my husband started laughing when you said "I CUT ONE" LOL

[@rosannazerafa3422]

Thanks for the great tip!

[@julievilleneuve5845]

Great tip, wish I had one like that for ceramic colored cups :/

[@julie-annmcneill582]

I love your haircut!!

[@BettyCarterFan]

Is there a trick for items where you cannot see the water... ceramic mugs?

[@karenmckay7398]

Fabulous and helpful video. Many thanks. Will try out your tips x

[@peterrsceri325]

You're so adorable. Easy to listen to. Hopefully I can work this.

[@elenaencinias1]

Have you tried the "wet method"? I would love to see your take on this method. Where you apply vynil with water and it has some slip to move around.

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Yes I have.I have a blog post on SilhouetteSchoolBlog.com for the wet method

[@nikkifa]

This was an excellent video. What a great way to keep things level! I have one question- I'm working on a black frosted glass lotion dispenser, so you can't see the water level. Would you have any other suggestions for this type of glass?

[@SilhouetteSchool]

I would use the hinge method. This will explain it. www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/08/how-to-put-vinyl-on-curved-surface-self.html?ml_subscriber=1744782191453279699

[@tokoeveland4467]

You are so smart and creative. I like you haircut too.

[@pghphyl]

great tip; heres my tip for you; have your husband nail a 1x2 to the back of your 8" ledge; stair well side; now u can feel more secure that nothing will slip over. your welcome

[@karendiener3691]

Great idea! I'm a newbie.

[@monicajohnson9580]

👏 awesome 😎

[@SilhouetteSchool]

[@lmspencer76119]

[@SilhouetteSchool]

[@Ellentrexler62]

Lol..Love the video! My hubby is getting me one! I'm just making sure I will know how to use it! Lol Do you have a cricut explore air 2? I'm so excited! Thank you!

[@illuminatingchaos4088]

whats the best finish to use on permanent vinyl and wine glasses? i want a smooth finish and mod podge doesnt do it and is driving me crazy!

[@melaniesteed8586]

Great ideas!! Thanks for this video.

[@MaybePyscho]

do you like your cameo or would you prefer the cricut

[@RastaBTv]

Another helpful tips is with thinner vynil you could get away with using the same transfer tape just as long as you keep finger for touching all the paper

[@denisebattle5008]

What brand of transfer transfer tape are you using again?

[@dextersmom5694]

You stated in the video you would list where and what kind of transfer tape you used

[@michelegaither9783]

I looked for this video for hours when you did it live originally! Not only am i saving it, im downloading it!! Thx Melissa

[@tt44-s7f]

Genius!

[@382Tweety]

u can use clear contact paper to to transfer

[@Charyl]

Thx 4 sharing

[@a2112princess]

What kind of transfer or contact paper did you use?

[@RuRu944]

Hello, will you be able to post the finished product?

[@meganspoelstra5072]

Thank You for the tip..

[@bubbles8140]

Yes but the question is, what vinyl do you use that will not come off in the wash???

[@LEIGHPFOSI]

Fun!

[@mishii9843]

‘ Rub the heck out of it ‘

[@cherylodell2773]

Can you please share the design?

[@shirleyotero1846]

Thx u well explain I have little shot glass trying to figure out how small I should make them any suggestions

[@gigles0927]

shirley otero Measure the shot-glass height and width, turn on the grid measure in your design space, use the ruler along the top and side to get the measurement that you need.

[@kerygunta]

Why the vinyl is falling off??? Glass cant wash :(

[@ianwilliams9623]

You are sooo cute 😍. Great tutorial

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Thanks for watching!

[@ryandinhotenacious3999]

hi good nite just turn on my cameo to cut and see this notification - connection auto paused or connection released what this mean and i have latest firmware and updated basic software

[@gailauerbach5450]

What is that black thing she is using to "rub the heck"?

[@justinsane332]

squeegee

[@justinsane332]

wooden spoons work really well also

[@linksarts]

Hi Melissa. I JUST used silhouette metallic gold vinyl on a muh. Can I use in the microwave?

[@WillieBeard]

My dog started whining and ran out of the room when the video started.

[@maritzatavarez1931]

how can we make then permanent?

[@allthingscreatedbyrsimon-6728]

cool thanks for the ideas, luv the slit idea yea

[@kaniyahskorner4488]

Question on this.. Will this never come off when getting wet?

[@alicebrown60]

Kaniyahs Korner Even permanent vinyl will come off over time in your dishwasher. For that reason they recommend handwashing (and avoid prolonged soaking) any item you apply vinyl to, whether the vinyl is temporary or permanent, for the longest and best result. I hope that helps. 😊

[@redel632]

You are clever

[@brinathomas4340]

Shut the front door!! That is the best trick ever

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Love it!!

[@LindaKAdney]

I am really impressed with the tutorial but OMG I am so afraid it is going into your stairwell...LOL...

[@Sprint29able]

Cool

[@MarcRebilletClips]

You sound crazy

[@sylviabrown9819]

you are so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee...love the video!

[@canadianbacon3007]

Funny there is never any mention in these "educational" videos about thin glasses shattering when pressing down the decal and/or burnishing ......be careful or you will be visiting the emergency room :) So remember to choose glasses that are sturdy and NOT the cheap thin rubbish OK

[@brujitacrafty]

This is the second vid where I hear the term "varnish"; why do you use this term?

[@heatherblake7597]

The word is burnish. It’s when you scratch the image off the transfer tape onto the glass/mug/wood.
