CRICUT SECRETS | Flawless Vinyl Application EVERY👏SINGLE👏TIME👏

hi hello happy Tuesday I had to think I was like are you GNA say I couldn't remember um happy Tuesday how's everybody doing what are y'all up to sorry we're late there's like a hundred people waiting for us it's just 1:33 fashionably late we uh got I don't know what we were doing I know what I was doing I was watching a video from another YouTuber that was saying they were leaving YouTube and what were you doing just anyways we're here checking on emails checking on emails um how are you guys oh my gosh it is a beautiful sunny spring is it spring official when is it officially spring here sprung forward does that make it spring no cuz there's like a first day of spring uh isn't it like is it March or April oh I don't know like the 20th oh I feel like the end of March would be good March like the 20th or something if you 2st I don't know leave us a comment um getting there yeah so we are making an Easter craft today if you guys did not see the thumbnail we're making a gigantic giant it's like I have a pretty big head I would say it's like two of my heads stacked on top it's so cute it's so I love this um I love the what you all are going to see like I really think you all are going to learn so much from this but too you we we have a good craft like our craft is amazing I love the Easter egg it's going to make a truly customizable um gift if you do gifts for Easter but what I think that you all are going to really love is watching how to apply vinyl to a curved surface yes without um having the bubbles cuz we always get bubbles on a curved surface and I literally hate that I know me too and we kind of me and Lauren like kind of put our heads together I feel like figure out how to master this um so and I'll tell you guys I'll walk you through the process and all that but we're going to show you how to apply the V to a curved surface like Lauren said without bubbles so it's going to be super cute super fun the design is easy so this is a really good beginner friendly craft in my opinion yes um and these eggs are at Walmart so we'll go over all that but before we get started we always like to let you guys know what kind of deals we're running what type of specials we're running today we're doing 75 off of our membership so that's 75 M so if you guys click the link in the chat s has pinned it to the top of the chat and then she just dropped it so if you're at any point during today's live stream if you're like I want to have these fonts I want these files I want to be a part of this community you can do that for 75 off today just using 75 and what that does is it brings our yearly membership so you are going to get grandfathered in and you are going to become a yearly membership so you're going to be able to you it's kind of one of those things like it is a commitment but you're committing to yourself you have already purchased your Cricket you've already gone in and you've invested but investing in a place where you can come for inspiration education motivation for cut files fonts commercial use license everything you need to know how to use your machine to take you from beginner to advance like everything is housed within our membership ship yes now if you're not completely ready to commit just yet we do have an offer for you and that is our dollar deal and I'm going to have stie drop the link for our dollar deal if you are thinking Lauren Alicia like I don't know that I'm ready to craft for a full year yet but I kind of want to see what you all are about no fear my friend you can do that for only $1 you're going to get full unlimited access to our website plus you're going to get2 free download credits so that would pretty much be like if you were to go out and buy cut fils you would be spending

fonts are expensive I don't know if you guys have bought I don't know if youall have bought a font recently but they're very expensive and we have over a th so lots to choose from there and not only that but you'll be able to get get the files we use in today's craft and if you all are wanting to um speaking of cut files if y'all are wanting to sign up for boot camp that starts next Monday that's

it's going to be very fun so make sure y'all just give us your email and then you can be at boot camp with us next week um but other than that I've already seen people saying these eggs are sold out let's just let's get into the craft I feel like let me show you guys what we're going to be making today okay if you have questions about membership or anything you can always drop those in the comments and me and Lauren we did have somebody just say they found the giant eggs at Dollar Tree yes so they have them at Dollar Tree and the dollar gentro the dollar gentro has them they're not this big though y'all look I just want to show you how big this I told you it was like two of my heads right it pretty much we have a mirror behind the camera it's pretty much two of my heads pretty much two heads yeah so it's giant um obviously I put ru's name on here we're going to do some daisies I mean isn't that just like the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life Courtney brought these in like this like with both of them the other day and I was like that is so stinking cute so Okay so we've got this I Beth says Amazon has 10in eggs in a six-pack look at the inches on that on the front of that so this is uh what does it say it doesn't even it doesn't even say on here um I mean heck we can measure it well let's measure it I'm surprised it doesn't say on there though I know I would think it would too but it doesn't I'm going to measure it from top to bottom is about 20 in okay so we have a friend with us tamama asked I don't have a machine yet should I still join I'm a newbie trying to figure out what it is and which I should get tamama this is directly for you um I feel like if if you're meaning join us for boot camp absolutely you don't have anything to lose as far as joining our membership I truly feel like that if you join the membership first and you learn about the machines you are going to be able to make a more educated decision when it comes to choosing which machine you want now if you're going back and forth between Brands I'm just going to be real honest we do a lot of what we do here on our channel is Main Cricket brand now within our membership though we do have a basic silhouette course teaching you about the Silhouette Cameo 4 um we also have a Brother's scan and cut course and I think those are the ones and then of course the 30 days to master your Cricket which teaches you how to master Cricket design space your machines set it up and everything so your question should I join before I get a machine in my opinion I think you should because I feel like it's it's going to cut down on the confusion once you actually get your machine in the mail right I agree so um I have my design open on the share screen now I don't have this font installed I want to show you all if you're like a Cricut newbie if you download a font to a different computer and then you go over you've saved your project you go over to another computer and you try to open it sometimes if you don't have the right font and I like if I try to edit this at all it's going to default to Aerial font Watch What Happens yeah I hate that I know so you have to download the fonts onto individual computers okay when you download a font it goes onto your computer which is so weird because fonts are not cloud-based but cut files are all cloud-based yeah so I know it sounds weird but that's just the way it is so we're going to go to fonts the font where you today is called Juniper so y'all know I like to go gather my fonts gather my design elements and then we'll start creating in design space so look how cute isn't this like the most perfect kid font ever it is a it is an amazing kid font it's adorbs so you're going to click that little down uh Arrow it's going to go into a zip folder and then we're going to click on the zip folder to open it and then it's going to say juniper. ootf click on that maybe and May what is that from M we used to say that all the time know but I in high school did you say it all the time too yes but I don't remember what it's called if you graduated from high school in 2010 what is merber merber it's from a movie I don't know anyways um we're going to hit install font and so now it's on our computer to get it onto Cricut design space we're going to go back to Cricut okay save whatever you were working on we're going to save it and then we're going to reload design space so go up here to view and reload and that's going to pull that font into design space Sabrina says it's the maybe baby from American Dad yeah that's it oh is it then maybe I didn't know it and I just heard someone else say cuz I didn't I don't really like that show so don't come for me Trey loves that show though I'll say Trey loves American Dad says I think a Jim Carrey movie I can see Jim Carrey saying it like that me too totally okay so then I open up my font and there she is Juniper which I think could be a really cute little girl's name by the way Juniper okay now this is kind of the where we want to get to okay sue you can download um fonts and files to an iPad an Android Linda says that she has an and because she was asking why our design space looks different um and she said that she has a I'm assuming an Android tablet we've never person we don't work a lot with um we have a Windows computer in our office we know I mean it's if you're if you're working from a from a PC a Mac whatever if you're working from a desktop computer the design space is going to look the same if you are working from a tablet design space does look different yes it is a little bit different it's not a lot different but it's just like the buttons are in different areas but it's the same concept right so um for the cut file we're using today it's under groovy Daisy oh maybe if I spilled it right we could find it so this little file right here is so cute now we designed this file specifically for this craft we have been needing this file Desperado we've been needing it really bad um so this little SVG is perfect if you wanted the PNG you could use that and use it like as a sticker but the SVG is great because I can change the color of the middle of my flower because svgs have multiple layers pngs are single single layer vectorized images so now what I'm going to do is go to upload image and then go to my finder and I'm just going to click and drag that SVG in and then we're going to hit upload and then I'm going to select the flower add it to my canvas and then there you go so easy right now I want mine to look like this so I want all white daisies with colored midds right now we've got beige Daisy with a yellow Center first of all I'm going to go ahead and make these about 3 in let me make sure that's what size I did over here cuz I really like this size yes I did three okay let's zoom on in here now I've got my SVG selected okay over here you can see in the layers panel there's two layers I want my Daisy to be white so I'm just going to select that Daisy layer and then I'm going to come over here to my colors and select white and then for the middle I'm just going to select the middle and I've got a bunch of colors here of vinyl you guys I just randomly grabbed a bunch of colors and I'm going to change it to that okay easy enough right then I'm going to select it and I'm going to come up here to the layers panel and duplicate it and then I'm going to take select both of those and duplicate those and I'm just going to change the centers over here in the layers panel so if you want to change the colors you're going to need to come over here and do it this way because it's grouped together so like if I try to click on on it it's going to select both do you see what I'm saying so you've got to use this layers panel it's going to help you a ton and you can do as many flowers as you want how many did I do on rubies 1 two three four five six so we only need six um but I like a lot of color so I may even do let's see we want to do a light blue and a coraly pink color and I'm going to do one of these in yellow I just love this yellow color Okay so we've got two purples a green a yellow a coral and a blue coral Coral now that now that I know where it's from listen I used to be really obsessed with Walking Dead until like do until the latest the like the last couple Seasons I was like I can't deal with this last two I hav I was like I literally can't deal with this anymore it's just the same same stuff I'm like ain't anybody come going to come save y'all from the apocalypse I mean come on I'm sick of this crap cor I'm sick of it coral Coral oh my gosh that's so funny okay so we're going to zoom out well I zoomed out a little too far I got carried away here okay so you can see we don't really need these guys we don't need them um I am going to it's bothering me that there's two purple flowers I just I'm going to change one let see I got I got a teal I got a yell oh I have this like chart trusy green y'all know we're just weird about colors oh there it was yeah oh money that's it yes is that lime green whatever you want to call what is that I think it's a mix between a lime and a chartreuse it's like neon chartreuse well this is a chartreuse oh it's like a ENT chartreuse I've bet on camera this is looking very NE highlighter yellow probably very I can't see I'm obsessed with this color though I think it's so cute okay now what we need to do next um I already had this Ruby here but I want to show you all how to get it to look like this if we can go overhead I want to do this two layer situation here and we're going to do Georgia's name for this one so I'm going to go into design space we're just going to open open up a text box and I'm going to type out Georgia like the state and we want this to be now you can take your egg let's take this egg apart first of all cuz you need to measure the area that you want so oh okay and I want wanted mine I didn't want mine going across the seam I wanted it kind of above the seam you could even just do like a singular monogram oh gosh um but I just wanted to put mine right here so let's lay it down so we want her name about 8 in I don't want it coming too far on the edges I could go to nine maybe yeah let's go to nine so back in design space I have my name selected and then up here on this area we can change the width to nine okay and then I'm going to select a color for the background color I'm going to do blue I like this light blue okay and then to get that cool effect that double layered effect we're just going to duplicate that and I'm going to make this one white and then we'll stack them on the egg isn't that cute I love that I love it okay now we've got everything that we need here I'm going to delete Ruby's name and then we've got all of our flowers I think that's that's all we need you guys that's it for design space it's super easy okay um let's go to make it now so everything is sized exactly how we want it now let's look what happened here why I want someone to tell me why this happened I know what happened but I want to know like what if you guys know so all of my white flowers are here and look every one of my middles is on a different sheet okay so there's two different reasons it's they're different colors and they're not attached now we don't want them to be attached right now we're going to kind of attach them ourselves not kind of we are we're going to attach them ourselves and layer the vinyl ourselves um but I want to have all of these on one mat so that I can cut them quicker and instead of like loading in a mat and cutting One Singular circle like I don't want to do that we're going to put all of this vinyl on one mat and cut them all together so let me show you what you can do okay so we do want to cut all of our white layers out now while we're on this page I'm going to select one of these colored mats it can be any of them while your little circle selected we're going to go up here to the three Three Dots and we're going to go to move object I'm going to move all of them onto this yellow mat I just picked the yellow one because I did and I'm going to hit go to the next color one hit move object put it on the yellow mat and it's going to automatically come up here to the top left corner so it may look like it's not there but look if I move that it's right there and then I'm just going to keep working my way down now I do want this one H let's move it let's just cut it all in one I think we can manage to fit the Georgia too and honestly you guys I could have selected that and the Georgia by clicking and dragging you can select multiples and move them at the same time if you want to so we did have somebody ask if they were making this for a little boy what do you think you would what kind of designs um my first thought is lightning bolts I do lightning bolts I do like the lightning bolts because you want it you don't want a design you don't want something that's going to be like super intricate right you want something that's a little more um easily manageable yeah basket like basketball and baseball you could do like white vinyl like a white circle and then cut out red laces you could cut out an orange circle and the black part of the basketball let me see if we have those files before I say anything yeah okay I'm I'm sure we do surely um if we don't it's getting added to the list ASAP yes just general just general uh um Linda so I'm just going to tell you like an iPad is going to get you a lot further in design space than a Droid an Android app uh Android tablet I'm sorry it just is I'm not going to like tell you to go out and buy one if you're going to go get anything I would use a desktop computer or laptop computer that's going to be your best bet mobile devices just aren't as easy to use on design space you can don't get me wrong they're just not as easy to work with they're just not so um mels media that's a good little tip so they're saying that one thing they realized that made life easier instead of moving all the colors to one mat they left them on their individual mat but move their position around on the mat then place the vinyl to where it needed to be that's when way to do it yeah um but we're going to do it this way for today so let's look at what we've got here we've got all of these here okay and then we've got all the rest of them right here so let's start with our white we're going to go ahead and cut our white so you're just going to need a standard grip mat where did my mat go I just had one in here is it underneath your vinyl maybe uh no do you want me to go grab one um yes and I'll cut this vinyl up real quick okay so I'm just going to use this white adhesive vinyl this is StarCraft we buy the Starcraft vinyl in big rolls because um we use the black and the white all the time and I always tell people like if you don't know what color vinyls to get just get a big old roll of black and a big old roll of white and you're going to be set for a good long while thank you mhm so I only need about 10 in I love this Starcraft cuz there's a grid on the back and I can cut it straight across and then we're just going to lay this vinyl side up cuz this is adhesive vinyl and then we're going to Varnish it down make sure it's stick to the mat stuck to the mat really well okay and then in design space we're going to hit continue and we're going to cut this on premium vinyl removable mats and then I'm going to go ahead and send it in to the cricket now that's going to cut out does anybody have any questions so far let's see uh we had Cynthia had a question that I was replying to in the comments because it's about something not related to the project okay okay okay all right so I'm going to hit go on this now if we go overhead you can see I already made some of these flowers and I've already put masking on them and stuff so you can like make a bunch of these flowers at once and pretty pretty easy and quick so I just had these were leftover and honestly y'all you can totally do flowers all the way around the reason I did didn't is because I thought it was going to look weird through the back like you can see these through the back it doesn't look awful but I just thought you're not going to see it anyways what I thought would be super cute and one thing that you all could do if you wanted to is if you wanted to have the color through the back as well just cut out another little circle and then place that Circle down first then the white flower then the second circle on the top and you'd be able it would look like the same through both yeah but that's completely up to you all that's a lot a lot more work it is a lot of extra work so okay that is uh about cut about done cutting this is permanent vinyl um we got these eggs from Walmart some people are saying that they're out of stock at their Walmart I looked on Walmart.com um they are the ones that I saw on the Walmart website are um not they're smaller than these and they're a lot more expensive like and I don't understand why somebody said you could get a six-pack of these on Amazon so there's a couple different places that you can now I don't know if the six-pack on Amazon is let me look on Amazon and see if I can find something comparable okay so uh that's cut I'll weed that in a second but we've got to lay out our mat so this is our crazy mat with with all the different colors let's look what we've got to work with in design space okay so looks like we've got we need some up in the corner so what I do is I refer back to design space over and over again while I'm trying to get everything laid out so these circles are like a inch and a half if that so we really don't need that much vinyl y'all just like a little tiny Square so I'm going to put one up there and burnish it down as you go so you don't miss any okay let's grab this one they have them on Amazon um actually with handles on them oh that's fun but it's in a 12 piece but let me see if I can find one here's a 10in one that's 936 okay that's not bad a little small that's about right no that's that's as big as this this is the jumbo one and it has a video and that's how big it is like that's somebody's hand I mean it's Pro I don't think it's as big as that one no but it's still pretty big but it's still pretty big um so I think a 10 inch would be good and then here it is for 936 it's still cool I mean the concept okay so back in design space let's look so we've got oh that second dot on the left that one is right below the five Mark so overhead we don't want to go right here because the five Mark is right here so we want to make sure that we've got plenty of area for it to cut so I'm going to put it right above the five Mark and then we're going to cut a piece of this and we're just going to keep working our way around this mat okay and then we've got look back into the share screen we've got one right at the six Mark so I'm just going to put my green here this would be a great scrap buster okay I've got my teal we're going to put that up in the [Music] corner I love just a random assortment of colors okay and then we're going to put this up here and then we've got a purple one and then on the share screen this one is pretty much straight across from this coral color so I'm just going to slide that over burnish it down and do I want to do I said I was going to do this in all blue but I already put the blue up here do we want to do Georgia's offset oh yeah oh this is a 16 in tall 11 in in width it gives the um Dimensions online okay can't order it on mine oh that's silly uh silly goose okay and now this one's going if you look at the share screen it's going all the way across but it needs to be at least three in tall so I love that the Starcraft has these squares and there's also squares on the mat so you can know like if you need your vinyl to be at least three squares tall you can cut three squares on your vinyl bless you stie do you want to know what I literally just thought about what if they wanted to see it through the back why not slice out the center of the um center of the flower that way you can like know exactly where to place the colorful centerpiece yeah then you see it through the back too yeah I guess you could do that well if y'all want to put them on there you could do it that way that would be easy peasy lemon squeezy but we're not going to today but you can you can't we won't but you can we won but you can but you can okay here's my colors interesting color scheme I kind of like it I'm kind of I'm digging it um it's very similar to what I picked for Rubes okay so this is what our mat's going to look like okay and then we're going to put this into our machine loader in and we're going to cut it on premium vinyl removable mat everyone's telling you bless you Sadie so I've never been blessed by someone on the internet I don't think not that way blessed in other ways it's so funny okay why is it telling me to load it in it's already loaded honey okay H go ignore my this is me testing out a Dollar Tree hack so there is a I think it's actually a cricket tool it looks like a nail daughter what are you doing I was trying to score with the Dollar Tree uh thing it actually worked really yeah huh it worked okay hi Lauren have you and the team been using the Venture um do you want the honest you want the yeah it's sitting in there we have not I used it for a big project personal project personal project to not too long ago but as far as like us in the office using it to cut with no I have been using the glow Forge more Oh Donna said bless you too Alicia thanks Donna appreciate appreciate it I feel blessed now okay I'm going to move all my vinals out of the way and get everything ready oh where's my white here let's weed this while we're sitting here okay this font reminds me of the girl who does the girls like Halloween and Easter baskets in Knoxville Michelle shout out to Michelle um she does hand lettering though and she does like this is kind of like her handwriting it's very cool okay I'm going to weed out all these mids Okie doie and then we've got our other pieces now I'm going to keep these on the mat to weed them I love this hot pink I've been really into this color I'm doing a nursing graduation party for my best friend and it's this color and orange and like light pink like oranges and pinks I'm just really into I feel like when the weather changes me and Lauren and maybe sad or like this too but like I be picking a color scheme this summer I've got a feeling I'm going to wear a lot of this color like orange and blush I'm just into it last year mine was lavender lavender I wore a lot of lavender and Peach last year yep me too okay I'm just taking off all this extra vinyl um we had somebody asked do you like the glow Forge or the X tools better Nikita that is a good question um we have the big glow Forge we do not have the glow Forge Aura and we actually not going to get it um no I'm going to grab some transfer tape real fast and the reason that um well first of all we didn't want to necessarily um I mean it's an expensive machine and we are completely like we don't get stuff necessarily now we do get some things not a lot of things sent to us we did get the X the X tools was sent to us we'll say that um and I did actually thoroughly enjoy the machine um now the glow Forge does have the one that we have has a lot more wattage to it but it's a bigger machine right so I mean it's if you're looking for a tabletop laser and you don't want to spend like Drop thousands of dollars I think the X tools is the way to go but if you're ready to draw some money on a laser I'm talking like cash money cash money thousands of dollars I actually wouldn't even go glow Forge I would go merror yeah merror but if you want to like Drop Tink but that's that those are those are also more on the industrial laser side it's like if you're trying to run a business yeah that's just my two cents okay so I go Forge but yeah it's not it's user friendly it's the most usual friendly machine obiously yes uhhuh okay so now I've got everything weeded so what I'm going to do is just go ahead and transfer over all of these circles I'm just putting my transfer tape down on the dot and then putting it over here on my circle and then removing it easy right don't even need a burnishing tool honestly I don't even need a transfer tape if you want I know Kristen said who else loves that Starcraft has a blue backer for their white I'm going to eras two hands for that because I hate nothing more than vinyl with a white backer yes just don't do that just make it blue or make it a different color it's so much easier to see and to weed any color is better than white oops sometimes you got to be after you use your transfer so many times you got to burnish it I'm just eyeballing how to line these up you guys I have no real advice here if you want me to be honest with you I'm an eyeball if it looks good it looks good right if it pains you to not make it perfectly in the center um you can slice a hole out of your Daisy and let that be your guide you could measure it if you really want to take the time but listen this is just fun I don't craft to be stressed out I craft for fun exactly and measuring stresses me out so there you go oh I love the white with the yellow center it's classic classic Daisy classic Daisy okay um so everybody's in the comments saying um Caesar easyweed so Caesar easyweed is actually heat transfer vinyl what we are using here is StarCraft vinyl yes Starcraft permanent vinyl yes Caesar easyweed like I said is a heat transfer vinyl so it's completely different mhm okay I'm gonna cut off a longer piece for my name transfer okay so the white needs to go on top of the colored so what I'm need to do is put my vinyl on my white and then we're going to push put it right on over okay that was weird I had to put it down weird cuz it like accidentally started sticking before I was ready was it staticky or something yeah it like grabbed the backer so I'm going to transfer it on burnish it down and then slowly peel it up this is why you do it slow cuz sometimes it doesn't want to grab that vinyl okay move that out of the way and then you've got this right here now I like mine to have the color towards the right a little bit so you can hover over and kind of get an idea of if you like it more to on the left you want it more on the right this is how I like mine cuteness then I'm going to burnish it and the name is the first thing that I'm going to put on here just because I want the flowers to kind of go Focus around the name don't do that to me Bobby okay it doesn't want to grab come on we'll get it eventually there there we go lordy day beautiful beautiful okay let's move this out of the way got my little egg come on over here big mama okay I'm going halfway want to take that off can you guys see this do you have a burnishing tool you can put it on I have this thing I mean I don't know if it's going to stay on a burnish let me just show youall how I did it I'm just going to do it how I did it yeah just go to camera sometimes I try to like just be showing y'all a proper way to do it and sometimes I'm just going to show you what I actually did I would just go to camera one and put it on from camera one hold on I'm trying to snap it back in come on there do you need me to hold the vinyl cuz it's it's it's way off SOS SOS want me to help you yeah hold this just hold this sticker I can't function okay it doesn't want to go in okay look I'm going to tape it shut don't open okay now we're going to stick this now there's like four little move the transfer tape there's four little clas so that is how I'm centering it okay so there's a clasp here and a clasp here so there's one on each side I'm going to look at it like this and just put it on six seven eight 1 2 3 4 5 six seven eight and then just do it okay yeah don't think do it that's how I like to live my life I am going to like kind of do it in the middle but you know what we should do before we should show you our hack cuz I didn't do it with Ruby's name cuz it's so little like it was so short but George's name is so long so what we're going to do you're going to get your trusty little water spray bottle this is just water this is from the Dollar Tree I think yeah Sadie got this for me from the Dollar Tree one day it's so cute um we're going to spray it with water you know we're just going to spray it just like a few little stps just missed does anyone else love that sound it's given hot Cheeto girl I know in high school uhhuh okay uh and then we're going to put it on here so what the water does is allows us to move our vinyl around where we want it to go I'm going to tip this back so you guys can see and it also prevents bubbles from getting in okay so it do act like it doesn't want to stick when you first put it on but it will so I'm just going to take take my burnishing tool and this is somewhat of a process okay but trust it trust trust the process and I'm just using my finger to kind of hold the vinyl down now it's acting like it doesn't want to stick once that water dries it will stay I promise mhm and to get to get for the wet method it is honestly best that you do like a full spray bottle of water and like one or two drops of Dawn dish soap Yes Dawn dish soap will help so I am just very carefully removing this okay we don't use this method all the time but it works especially good on curved mhm surfaces oh see this is why you don't want to move too much hold on y'all I got to take I got to go out of the shot cuz the dot of the eye is not one to cooperate okay and then what I like to do is go in here with my finger and make sure all of this is flattened out you can see there's some like bubbles kind of press them out sometimes you can't even see them you've got to like put it at an angle to even see it beautiful there's here there's a good closeup of it love it okay beautiful now let's do our flowers so you can put these wherever you want um I don't have like a really great strategy for like placement um you don't want them too close together unless you want it to look intentionally close together like if you wanted to do like 1 2 3 4 five and like do them in a stagger but I want mine to be kind of like randomly placed around so that's what we're going to do so I'm going to do the same spray method just pick a spot I like to eyeball my spot first and then we're just going to Spritz it I'm just going to do like three Sprites and then we're going to apply this to the egg okay and it's going to move until obviously all the water is out and I will say this it does not guarantee complete wrinkle free okay but it does help a ton the bubbles are out way like I think I left one actually on Ruby's egg I'm going to show you guys what it looks like if you just went in without the water because originally I was just like well I'll just put it on there it's fine no the water is what makes it look so good so and then you have to kind of push all that water out and what's fun about and and with these and I want you to try it on one of these if you if if it's something that you're comfortable with I want you to just pick up one of these flowers like just take it off since it's all one thing and just spray it and not use transfer tape you know what I'm saying yeah you could totally I'll do it I'll do it I'll do it I know you will now this one went a little high up on the egg it's very rounded so it is a lot very rounded if this is if this happens use the wet method like get all of that out but one thing you can do is take your true control knife or an exacto knife and in like one of the between one of the two of the petals just make a little slit and kind of like overlap it this one right here I did do you see where I overlapped that was the true control knife I just put like a little tiny cut so that's something that you can do but that's like the hardest area really um one of these I think maybe I took off the one that I messed up I don't know I think I didn't wet method this one and look there's bubbles there's like a little crease so that was like not good so the other ones I did do with the wet method and they look really good um somebody asked us to please explain again why water on the sticky side so Susan what is going to happen if you use water it's going to allow you to move your vinyl around um and especially if you are um like wanting to get all the bubbles out it's going to allow you to smooth all those bubbles out without it completely sticking until the like and then once the water evaporates it's going to stick perfectly fine like it's not going to hinder the vinyl at all it's still going to stick beautifully but this is works really really well if you have a very solid piece excuse me if you have a very solid piece that you're trying to put on a curved surcle right like look how good that one went on I mean that is smooth like butter so and that was more like once you get towards the middle it's a little bit more of a level surface what color do we want up here purple yeah so I'm just going to keep on truck and that one I did not use transfer table was a lot easier so I'm just peeling these off I've just peeled it off okay there's no transfer tape on here and then we're just going to spray it and then I'm going to apply it this one's on kind of up high so it's going to be a little bit more finicky but not as bad as that other one with the transfer tape yeah that's true just putting it on with your hands is going to save you a little bit of time a little bit of frustration okay I think I want to put one down here and y'all I mean that's pretty much it this is going to get you some good practice using this wet method like this one's probably going to go in pretty smooth yeah cuz it's like pretty flat right there now remember if this is something that you want want to recreate you can do so couple different ways if you want these files you we have an amazing sale going on right now it's March it's

favorite this is so this is next Friday um let me go overhead so y'all can really see it's puff vinyl with printable DTV um I'm obsessed I'm obsessed we made this pattern specifically for boot camp so it's like an exclusive file and Lauren used uh this forest green puff I'm obsessed with it I know so there's that one we're making this out of Dollar Tree scraps y'all have to be there to know what I'm talking about but Dollar Tree scraps Dollar Tree scrap trash trash basically we made this out of trash yeah pretty much so um it's just a little sunflower isn't that so cute and and then this is a shadow box that we're going to be making I love it's giving like desert Vibes with these colors uhhuh so these are three out of the five that we're going to be completing in boot camp so if you guys come to boot camp you're going to complete these three plus the other two I'm going to show you um either I Tanner or Lauren will show you tomorrow during the live stream so oh and I was going to show you what we're making in the live stream we have it in the thumbnail but I'm just obsessed with this craft I made it for a baby shower this is what we're making tomorrow in the live stream so so if y'all want to be there for that we have lots of big giant crafts on the table today so we did have what the f said we need a specific heat press for puff right that is correct puff vinyl must have lots of pressure to be activated properly and to puff up correctly however if you do not have a large heat press you can still do this same project and get a very similar result just using vinyl like just regular colored vinyl it's just not going to have the like the 3D puff effect but it's still going to be super super pretty um if you don't have access to Puff or don't have a large heat press for the pressure to for the puff final yes sorry I was trying to say that I it wasn't coming out right that's hilarious boot camp is on YouTube every single day starting next week March starting
