Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

This is a must project for those with the basic knowledge of a cutting machine and how to prepare vinyl for a decal. Simple step by step tutorial to create a custom laundry sign to add a bit character to your laundry room.

Step 1:

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning.

*Basic knowledge of a cutting machine and how to prepare vinyl for a decal is required.

Step 2:

Remove glass from picture frame and clean the front and back using your glass cleaner. Set aside.

Step 3:

Upload into your cutting machine’s program the Laundry Wash Fold Dry SVG design. Resize design to a 9” x 5” size. Mirror image the design as this decal will be applied to the backside of the glass. Refer to your cutting machine’s instructions re: mirror image.

Step 4:

Prepare vinyl for cutting. Check your cutting setting, etc. Insert into your cutting machine. Cut.

Step 5:

Cutting complete. Remove from cutting machine. Weed vinyl for a decal.

* Weeding: the process of removing the excess vinyl from the lettering or design that has been cut.

Step 6:

Apply transfer tape.

Step 7:

Slowly and carefully remove adhesive backing from vinyl ensuring cut design stays adhered to transfer tape.

Step 8:

Applying to Frame Glass

Find center of glass and center position decal atop glass horizontally. Your center will be 5” in from both sides and 4” up/down if using a 8” x 10 “glass frame. When you have the decal positioned to your liking, fingertip press firmly and smooth out. Smooth out any and all bubbles. Tip: To help with centering of decal I found it helpful to mark axis points top /bottom right onto transfer tape.

Step 9:

Slowly remove transfer tape ensuring design decal stays adhered to glass frame.

Step 10:

Background paper/cardstock (opt) Position glass atop background paper. Trace around outside edge of glass. Remove glass. Cut out piece. Skip this step if you are not adding background paper.

Step 11:

Insert glass back into frame ( smooth side down). Insert background paper. Insert frame backing. And Woohoo your Framed Laundry Sign is complete! Great job!
