I used <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MfAzbT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premium Permanent vinyl<\/a> and the <strong>premium vinyl setting<\/strong> on my Cricut Maker with <strong>more pressure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 3: WEED YOUR DESIGN AND APPLY TRANSFER TAPE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully <strong>reverse weed your designs<\/strong>. Make sure you don&#8217;t accidentally weed something you aren&#8217;t supposed to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cut a piece of transfer tape<\/strong> to size and apply that to your design. You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MdZZ9A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cricut Transfer Paper<\/a> or other <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30RKcoC\" target=\"_blank\">transfer paper<\/a> for this step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can reverse weed by applying the transfer tape <strong>BEFORE you weed <\/strong>anything. Then you remove the backing from the vinyl and weed from the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BE VERY CAREFUL!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This design can be difficult to weed. Be very careful you don&#8217;t weed any dots, commas, etc out by accident!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 4: APPLY THE DESIGN TO THE PLATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put the design on top of <strong>parchment paper<\/strong>. Parchment paper is perfect because the vinyl will not stick to it enough that it will remove parts of your design but it will stick JUST enough to not move around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/06-s2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/06-s2.png 820w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/06-s2-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/06-s2-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/06-s2-600x315.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Place your design where you&#8217;d like it. Fold one corner of the parchment paper back and stick your design down to hold it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peel the rest of the parchment paper away and carefully put your design on the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carefully remove<\/strong> the transfer tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go over the design with a roller or burnisher to make sure the design will stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>CONGRATULATIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yay!
