Introduction: Vinyl Laptop Decal
Create custom vinyl decals for your laptop and other devices, like this zombie, in just a few simple steps using the Silhouette Portrait® or CAMEO® and Silhouette vinyl.
Supplies you'll need:
Step 1: Design
Open the design in the Silhouette Studio® software and resize the image to fit your device.
Step 2: Cut
Feed the black vinyl directly into the Silhouette, white backing side down.
In the Silhouette studio software open the Cut Settings window > select Vinyl from the materials list > click Send to Silhouette.
Step 3: Weed Out the Design
Using the hook tool, weed (or remove) the excess vinyl from the white backing.
Step 4: Apply Transfer Paper
Cover the zombie design with transfer paper.
Use the scraper tool to ensure the vinyl adheres smoothly to the paper > slowly remove the transfer paper and vinyl from it's original backing.
Step 5: Transfer Design
Use the grid lines on the transfer paper as a guide when lining up the design on your device.
Carefully adhere the vinyl design to the laptop > use the scraper tool to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles created when transferring.
Step 6: Finish
Turn on your laptop > step back > admire your skills and the glow of the new zombie eye!
