Do you remember my Born to Build art I made for Charlie a while ago? Well, when Mary from Delicious Decals wrote me to invite me to do a project with her vinyl I knew just what to do! I’ve always wanted to try vinyl on wood, and this was my chance. It was such an easy project, but I thought I’d post a tutorial for it just in case you’re interested in trying it out and never worked with vinyl before.
Step 1
I started out by staining a scrap piece of 1×10 that was just the right size. I ordered my custom art from Delicious Decals in an 8×10 size.
Step 2
I peeled the backing off. The vinyl and transfer paper is still pretty sticky.
Step 3
Place the transfer paper straight down onto your board. Don’t worry if it’s not straight, you can easily reposition it.
Step 4
Press down firmly over your vinyl with a credit card or other straight, flat device.
Step 5
Carefully peel back the transfer paper, making sure the vinyl is still in place. Secure any loose spots, and you’re done!
A huge shout out to Delicious Decals for generously offering me a sample of their vinyl in my design to work with. And stay tuned tomorrow for a giveaway for a chance to do your own vinyl project!
