    Final Product: What You Will Create

    Preface:
    A simple tutorial for all experienced cutting machine owners/users. Create this whimsical camper door mat using multiple colors of acrylic paints and create a stencil using this delightful SVG design” Home Is Where You Park It”, Follow the paint color chart of the design or use your choice of colors. *Basic knowledge of a cutting machine and how to prepare vinyl for stencil is required.

    Step 2:
    Bring SVG design "Home Is Where You Park It" into your cutting machine program. Cut and resize design to 11.5” x 11.5” ( approx). If using a smaller or larger mat adjust your design size to fit.

    Step 3:
    Prepare your vinyl. Place onto your cutting mat. Load into your cutting machine. Cut design. Weed your cut vinyl for a stencil. ( Weeding vinyl is the process of removing the unwanted vinyl from your cut design.) The open areas will be painted.  Apply transfer paper per manufacturer’s instructions. Slowly remove adhesive back.

    Step 4:
    Center stencil onto your mat. When centered to your liking finger press down onto mat to secure. As you can see in the picture I needed to make some adjustments by piece cutting the window and the door due to a rip in the vinyl stencil when removing the transfer paper. If needed refer to your cutting machine instructions on how to piece cut from a design to make any adjustments before painting.
