VINYL CUTTING KAYLEE RUSSELL & ERIN JIMMO
WHAT IS VINYL CUTTING? Vinyl cutting is done through a software called Silhouette Cameo. The software is on the computer, and then you send it to the printer beside the computers. You grab your image of Google, save it, then drag it on to Silhouette, trace it and then send to the printer. Before you send it to the printer you must grab the Sticker vinyl and load it on to a mat into the printer. You then peel it and put transfer tape on it to transfer it to where ever you want it placed.
SILHOUETTE STUDIO Drag image in. Create box around image so it s easier to peel afterwards. Select your trace area, and the trace it. Drag your image away. Load up your mat with sticker vinyl and put it in the printer. Send your image to the printer.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE SO FAR? A LOT of phone stickers- while trying to decide on a project idea. Sticker for teacher (#34)- sticker and stencil vinyl. Name tags for preschool- current project. We had a quick lesson about Heat Vinyl.
PRESCHOOL NAME TAGS It took us a really long time to figure out what we could do for an actual project. Kaylee has the preschool class 3rd period and thought this would be something fun to do. At first we had no ideas as to how we were going to turn them into name tags but Mr. Hallihan helped us and we decided to put them on Cardstock and then laminate them afterwards. We were late finding a project so we don t have any laminated yet.
PROBLEMS We forgot how to use the software many times- which taught us the importance of the journal. We had a hard time measuring the right size sheet to put in the vinyl cutter. We were peeling the wrong things at first. We couldn t understand how the transfer tape worked.
LOOKING AHEAD.. We want to finish our preschool name tag project. We would like to try heat vinyl afterwards.
EXAMPLE USING TRANSFER TAPE- PHONE CASE STICKER. Lasse wanted us to make him a banana sticker for his cell phone.
