Make a Large Vinyl Wall Decal - How to Cut Larger Than Mat on a Cricut!

Hi everyone, my name is Jennifer Maker, today we are making

large

wall

decal

s and decorations, all things that are

large

r than what will fit on your cutting mat. I love decorating the

wall

s of my house. She has been known to paint beautiful murals on them and cover them. with pictures and other things like that, but now that I have a cutting machine it is very easy to create my own wall decoration with

vinyl

, but this is what I like:

make

a wall with two cores, which is bigger than it fits on a standard 12 inch wall by 12 inch cutting mat, so at first it may seem impossible, but you can totally do it and I'll show you how in this video we're going to

make

these projects bigger than the current ones, step by step together.

Now, first look at how to make a large

vinyl

wall decoration. I asked my trusted guy to paint a board white with interior flat paint the exact same thing most of us have on our walls right now and I'm going to put in three grand. foot square bottle decoration step by step together to show you how it works now it is important that you use removable vinyl on your walls if you don't and when you are going to remove it it looks like you want to move it or it is time to renovate your room, you may you may accidentally take away some drywall, but if you use removable vinyl you won't have any problems removing it, so this is really important and in addition to the vinyl, you will need a lot of transfer. tape, some scissors, a scraper, weeding tools and some masking tape, you'll also want to find a way to cut the vinyl.

Today I'm using a Cricut explore air. Another really important thing is your mat. Now you can use a standard 12 inch. 12 inch mat to do this if that's all you have, but if you can get a 12 inch by 24 inch mat it means a lot less work for you and that's what we're going to use today before we can start cutting . things, we need to prepare our design since it is too big to fit on a mat, we need to separate it into mat sizes and then join it together after cutting it. I'm going to show you how this works.

I draw a sharp unicorn to put. on her wall and you can get the unicorn design for free on my blog at jennifermcguireink.com and I've created one for you on my blog so head over to Jennifer maker.com where you'll find the project if you don't. Check it out, you can search for it on the right and once you're here, you'll find the tutorial here on my blog and the actual design to download in my resource library, so click on libraries and then click enter the free resource library and enter your password, if you don't have a password you can request one on this page and once you are in the library search for flying unicorns SVG and go ahead and click on it to start the download and once it has downloaded. you can open it up and you can actually see the SVG file right there and now we're going to go to Cricut design space and upload it, so click new project, then click upload, click upload image, then click browse, find the SVG file you downloaded and click open there so click save and select the image and click insert images now the design is on our canvas but it's only ten inches wide ten point three five two , we want it bigger, so up here at the top, I want to change the size you want it to be when it's finished, so I'll say 32 inches tall and you can see it changes size right away, so let's make our canvas a little smaller so we can see everything in it.

Alright, there it is, if we click "Do it right now", however, we get an error saying that this image is too large. This is what we're going to fix in the Cricut design space so we can make this great vinyl wall

decal

, so what? What we're going to do is first ungroup, I think, so we can put the purple layer on a single layer, so that the purple layer in the back, when we should be able to select it and have it alone, is correct. Now it's okay, so you can hide it and only that layer disappears now if we hide just that layer and we no longer have air and that tells us that the only piece that is too big for a 12 inch by 24 inch mat is that purple layer. the rest will fit, so if you're doing a different layout and you have this, it doesn't work this way, you just need to identify the layers that are too big, that's the key, so the layer for us that's too big for a mat is the purple layer, so that's the one we're going to work with.

I'm going to drag it to the right so we can't isolate it and separate it into mat sized pieces, so click on the shapes and select a square and then up here on At the top, I want you to resize it to 11 inches wide by 22 inches long. You'll have to get a little unlock icon there to create a box that size, so 11 by 22 is pretty much the maximum we want to put. on our 12 by 24 inch mat, so we dragged it over our image to make sure it fits, but it obviously doesn't fit at all, it doesn't even fit in height, right?

It's still too tall for the mat, so we need to make this even smaller, so that's how we check and make sure that what I'm going to do is reduce the size of the purple layer so that it fits within 22 inches. This is my goal, so I don't have to do too much because it will be just a little bit, just a little bit, of course, if you're working with a very specific size, you can't do that, but I can afford to modify it like an inch, like this We'll see if we can reduce the size of our entire design to fit within 22 inches, that purple layer within 22 inches.

I want to make this 31 inches tall and then we're going to ungroup everything and we're going to isolate that purple. layer now what we can see is that it's 21.85 in two inches tall which fits on our cutting mat so click on the shapes and click on a square now resize the square of the part greater than 11 inches wide by 22 inches high. You have to click on the unlock icon to make it that size. Now you can see that at least in height it will fit a mat, it won't fit in width, but we're going to fix that, so I want you to duplicate this rectangle two. times to have three of these like this and if we spread them out we can see that our design will actually fit three large 12 by 24 inch mats, so let's select all three and make sure they're lined up on the Above we want them all to be on the same position.

You can make it a little bigger to make sure everything looks good. You want to make sure they are close together, not overlapping, and have no gaps. It looks pretty good now, our goal is to separate that purple layer into these three shape sizes, okay and it may look a little confusing, but I'll show you how to do it so that once everything is in position, your three rectangles will be sideways. . To the side and in line with the top, go ahead and send them back so you can see the four layers here and you need to select one of your rectangles so that your leftmost rectangle and your purple layer, so make sure that only those Se select two layers and then we click Cut to cut that purple layer and we want to get rid of the parts that we don't need, which are the black parts, so the only part that we want left is just the tail of our unicorn.

So anything, there's going to be two extra layers that we just want to delete and if you can't find them, just go ahead and drag them to the side, just like I'm doing them now, do the same thing with the middle. rectangle and the purple layer again, so select just those two layers and confirm on this side that you have just those two and then cut them out and then get rid of the parts that you don't need, and then it will just be the last one. two layers and we went ahead and cut them out although we didn't really have to do that because it was all ready, but okay, now we have our purple layer and we get rid of the extra layers and we have our purple layer, all cut into three pieces of the size of a mat.

Look, that's awesome, of course, if you don't have a 12 by 24 inch mat, you'll have to separate them into mat sized pieces to fit the smallest standard size mat, the 12 by 20 inch. 12 mats to make that you will need to create an 11 inch square and then use that as a divider for your slices and of course you will also need to cut out the unicorn and rainbow exactly the same way we did. We're doing the purple layer, so it's going to take a little bit more work and that's why I recommend that you use the largest mat possible, which is 12 by 24 inches, so let's select all of this and we'll send it back and place it back. new. below our decal so we can make sure everything looks good, which is in case we accidentally change the size, we'll click Create and now we can see that there's no air, it can do everything we want on our 12. per 24 inch mats, but if you look you will see that Cricut has separated them into many more mats that are necessary.

I mean, the purple ones look good because they're really big pieces of vinyl, but the other colors need to be consolidated and you'll have to do this manually, so you want to click on this little one here, click on the three dots that I cut in the corner top left, select the mat and then move it to the 12 by 24 inch mat and just rotate it and move it. until it fits your mat so you don't have to waste any vinyl. We don't want to waste any vinyl. You know, this is a big part of my knowledge.

We want to be as efficient as possible, so we did the same. with the second item click on the 3 dot icon and move it to your other mat with all your other stuff again use that rotate icon in the top right corner to move it into position so everything is like this you know why, so it's good. It's an idea to move the parts around so there's a lot of extra space between them, there's no need for anything to be cluttered when we have all this extra vinyl here, so just go through each layer and make sure your colors are consolidated as much as possible. possible so that you no longer have to waste any additional vinyl that is necessary, they will still be vinyls here that will not be cut for us and you can cut them and say them as waste if you want.

I will do that. I'm not going to do that in this video simply because it's already going to be a very long video. We'll keep it as simple as possible for this one, you'll need to change the mat to be a 12 by 24 inch piece and then move that third one to your first pink mat and then everything will fit, you just need to move it a little bit and then you just need to check that everything It has enough space and that you haven't skipped any bits or layers. or anything on any of your mats, I mean it looks good, click continue and then choose your cricket or the menu at the top unless you only have one, in which case you don't need to do that.

I never told this to my Explorer, click in the air. Explore all materials and choose premium vinyl. There is no option for a removable removable vinyl, so just use premium vinyl and then click Done. You can change your pressure to more. I always do that and let's delete this so We've set up our file in Cricut design space and now it's time to send it over to add it so I'm going to go ahead and start to make our first layer white because I can always tell on the top what is our first layer. You need to make sure you click Yes, white and it actually says it's a 12 by 12 inch mat.

It doesn't matter then that we use a 12 by 24 mat, we just won't use the entire mat, so it's not big. deal so you don't have to switch to your other mat just because it says to use a comment mat, so if I look and click on the mat preview, I can see that I only need one piece of vinyl, but it's 7 by 4 inches, so we don't need to cut a giant piece either, so I'm just going to cut a seven by four inch piece of vinyl. I just use the grid on my mat to keep it nice and simple.

I don't need to go outside the ruler, in fact, I've been known in a pinch to use the grid I'm cutting, which is a ruler for other things when I don't have a ruler handy and, by the way, you know when you're done with your vinyl and you're not done with it yet. I would like to put the wrapper back on it and with it just a piece of painter's tape or something really easy and I like to do this because then I always know what. type of vinyl it is without having to guess there are definitely ways to guess usually removable vinyl is matte and permanent vinyl is glossy but not always so sometimes it says that on the back too so it says yes I can see that word.

Removable, but not always, so it's good to keep the Do Not Use labels on well, so I'll take them off and just do it. This end closer to me. Put it in the corner like this. Make sure it is facing down. Insert it into me. machine whenever you want, make sure to press the rollers well and press the load button. We'll move them to the side andwe'll go ahead and cut them off now. You'll notice I have two of these large mats. for kids in my pack and I'm going to use both so while one layer is being cut I'll try to get the next layer ready so I can keep feeding them quickly that's when he'll be really fast so the time probably won't come okay I'll do it I have it ready, so let's download this one, so my next color is tan beige and this needs a new review.

Let's check the preview of the mat to see how big it is. It's and it looks like it's 19 inches, the vinyl is also a little wrinkled and if that's the case, it's better to fix it now than later and you can make this same plate, okay, basically you like to start in the center and smooth it out. as I go along and all that tends to remove a lot of the wrinkles automatically so now I'm not seeing any nice smooth wrinkles so let's pop this into our machine and let's go ahead and press it done. While that's cutting we're going to remove this one and put it in here and our next color is going to be yellow, okay, so we'll start in the center, so that happens and okay that happens when dealing with these big pieces of vinyl it's a little bit tricky, you just have to be patient and you have this roll, but this thing will happen because it is long.

Its beginning, once you start getting over 12 inches, a roll will come out, so we just have to deal with that. again, so we'll start in the center and then smooth outwards, you don't have any big creases and stuff, there we go, that looks good, those things out of the way, so let's unload this mat and make sure it cuts the way. what you were expecting, looks good to me, so make sure you cut out the yellow one, which we do and we go ahead and cut it out, remove the cream, so this one that I just removed you can see it's a little wrinkled, right? so we're going to fix this later if this happens and you know it can happen it's a big piece of vinyl and it's rolled up tight but don't worry we can fix that okay our next color is blue.

Make sure you have enough workspace for this project because these are big pieces and it's very important that you have space behind your Cricut when you're doing these large mat projects because it's going to go up there and that's why I put my Cricut here so you can see exactly how it works, so again I'm going to gently place it from the center, that air bubble there and the crease here and I don't like that crease, so we'll fix it right now playing around, I have a lift. up on the vinyl on this one, so if it's really stubborn and really wrinkled, what you can do is lift the vinyl up because it slides on the bowl a little bit, that's what these moving things are not as sticky as the permanent stuff.

You can see we have a big crease here part of the time, let it sit and that smooths out. Okay, looks pretty good. Now I'm going to smooth this out. Here we go. Yes, now I will soften everything even though it was a little. it's in bad shape, so let's remove this one, let's place this here like this and we're going to place our mat face down on our cutting mat, face down on our large mat on the right and what we're going to do is remove the mat. of the vinyl, okay, if you need help, in fact, I'm going to tape this down so it's not a very big piece of vinyl, so a little bit of tape will help us.

Well, come on, okay, so again we're moving. the mat away from the vinyl instead of upside down to keep the vinyl nice and flat, so go slow and hold down on the vinyl as you go to encourage it to not want to roll up with the mat, there we go and it's fine that exact . that's their natural function, so let's compare the difference so you can see what a better job these did here so we can use them again. Well, here is our beautiful piece of yellow vinyl with no wrinkles or anything on it, amazing. now let's compare that to the first one we did the cream on, which you know when we remove it without regard to its function and this is again removable vinyl, so it's well adhered to its backing, which we like, it's not as sticky .

It's going to move more as you work with it so you can see all the little things we have here that we'll have to fix later and none of them here, so this is our goal. As much as you can get this nice wrinkle-free floor versus this okay, okay, but it's okay now that it rolls up like this because that's going to happen, that's what it was before, okay, so download our blue mat and I think our next mat is Okay, so the next step is to weed all of our cut vinyl and I have my weeding tool, some scissors and an Exacto knife or actually it's the Cricut craft knife to control the knife in case we need something so let's get started . with the simplest piece which is the white piece and you know, with the weeding we're just removing all the excess vinyl that we don't need and then we're also going to cut the pieces multiple times if you can't get it.

What I like to do is cut it, sometimes it helps because you can cut the right corner, the kind of corner you don't want to cut, she's just trying to cut the vinyl and then you can fold it right there. and then you can remove the corner and let's make sure we keep my parts out of the way and now you have a starting point, just remove the excess vinyl and I'll need a place to put all the vinyls you want. Make sure the vinyl you removed is away from your work surface. I'm going to stack it here because the white will find its way back into your project and then this big piece will come out, so that piece piece, you can also put them in their hands, okay, figure out where everything is, okay, yellow, now you can make it easier for you to cover your mouth with tape while you work, let's go ahead and make a little cut in the corner, we'll do It's here again, we're cutting just the vinyl and then we can fold it like this tape is ready, it's like have an extra hand to glue it right here, but you don't want it to flip over while we're working right. right here it's right here it's just the design is curved so we just want to go nice and slow and I like to remove the excess vinyl.

I'm done with it so it doesn't stick to my project because it's a huge It's a mess and it's not. The nice thing about removable vinyl is that it's not as sticky as the permanent material, so in some ways it's easier to work with Atlas, at least at this stage, here we go, so let's cut everything out. This is part of the main I think there this is part of the rainbow These are the helmets and I don't expect you to remember, but all these parts are part of the main since we are all here, but you already know.

You will want to view the image on your computer or you can print it. You know it will also help you a lot. Major. Oh, and this has some weeding going on, so you can see here that there are some little rings. That is how. your brush, how your fan can find his way to it in some places, there's a little bit here too, so we'll use the we up to get them out. I like to use that angle of the light to see the edge, of course, if you have like a soft box or a glow pad, you can use that too, okay, those are yellow pieces, let's make our blue pieces.

I'll speed this up now, you may remember the wrinkling problem we had with the cream vinyl, here's how to fix it. Let's just lift it up, smooth it all down, see everything arranged and then over here too, let's do it up here gently and then very gently smooth it down, don't let it stick to itself, let the vial go wherever it wants. go. come on it's time to assemble and layer the design now that we have our unicorn pieces now let's start by putting things in order so we know what they are and we can identify them a rainbow our unicorn rainbow like this so here's the head and here is the rainbow and here is a tail and you can refer to the image that is online and/or in this tutorial so you can see that there are two ways that we can now put a pin together and then place it on our board in the first way in the The way you might think would be the most obvious is to put them right now as they are and layer them and place them on our board as we go one by one, but you know that working at an angle on our wall is not always the better way.

It's easier if you want to do it that way. I want you to be able to see everything I'm doing. Instead of doing it on the wall, we're going to layer our vinyl first, so it won't always be like this. The right choice on how to do this, but when you have something with many layers like we do, it can definitely be the right choice if you have only one layer, as I will blog about. I'll read what you probably want to do. on your wall, so in fact, especially if it's very big, you don't want your wall, so this is the size of ours, plus we have a big dream that goes at the bottom, here on the right.

Basically, I want to create a giant sticker. That's layered before I put it on my wall, but I think that would work better because I can get much better positioning and all that I need to put my unicorn rainbow base layer on, so that's the purple layer together, now what I'm going to do do is Basically, I'm going to attach these pieces of transfer tape, but of course we know they're big, they don't go all the way to the edge and you can cut them to get to the edge, but there are other ways to do this, so what I do.

In fact, I'm going to do it, we're going to bend them and put them together like here at the joint, flip them like this and actually it's only going to flip one side, now what are we going to do. What I do is I stay back now I want to join these two okay you know and this is like you can't really see through it so we have to turn them around and let's join them we're ready to join them where we can see them placed very carefully you want to place it right next to each other you want to put them together you don't want to see a seat right so here we can see that there is a seam that is useless so what works is to make the top on the bottom almost there we go okay so now let's make sure that this is nice and flat okay let's finish this now that we put them together and then Let's tape it down let's see how it looks on the front it might look nice and soft, and if it's not, we'll fix it so you can see some wrinkled hair, but it doesn't look like a big deal, here we go.

I can see it just creasing and honestly you know we're going to have to fix that so just match it from top to bottom and the thing is you're only going to see the steam at the top and at the bottom you can't even see. in the middle and I'm going to lift this up from time to time so I can place it exactly where I wanted to go, here it's going to cover up, so okay, it's just a little bit out of there, smooth this all out, so it's just this smooth it out to as we go, here we go, now we have my unicorn and now it's time to start layering things, so now we have to layer them, you know, I'm thinking it'll be easier to do this for that. transfer date, let's try it, okay, so we know, based on our photo, what it looks like.

Actually, I'm going to take it off, we're going to put it on because it's such a big piece, so let's try to put it on, let's not do it. Press it down but let's go in case we have to do something. Move this out of our way again. I want your response tapes to stick to the surface. Now we will place it. It will do a better job. In fact, I need to get rid of everything. this extra here Mitchell is give all that accessory is going to have a lot we have got all that extra transport here and we can reuse this here put your head right on top you're looking for your margins to be more or less the same when you press this down try not to. , you know we don't need to adhere it to the purple any more than necessary, it'll turn out fine, let's use our transfer tape for these other sections here too, a big giant sticker, let's get it right, now that we've put everything together it's time to put the transfer tape on and put it on our wall, okay, so I'm going to put the transfer tape like this because we can put two of these and then we only have to have two. strips or transfer tape in our project, we could do it like this, but it would be three with three seams, so I think I'm going to go with you, so we just need to cut our transfer tape to the same desired width, just a little bit. a little bit bigger and these Cricut transfer tape rolls are 48 inches long so I won't be able to use what's left on this roll so we're going to save this roll, this remnant of the roll as part of the project so I'll need use another one, so this project will need three rolls of transfer tape to work properly, so just like when we do any other transfer, we will have to be very careful when placing the tape. to our project, so let's take the backing off and what is this, stop being so curly, it'll help a lot, but because it's a giant piece of transfer tape, you're going to want to be careful and stuff, but stick to yourself. or to your project or something because that's a big mess, better, okay, here we go, now there's a big piece of tapetransfer as if it were one.

I always wear it. I always like to do this U shape correctly. so we're going to press from the outside in so it's pretty much the same here so we just want to make sure that we're covering our project more or less and then gently and let it fall like this and then smooth it from the center out let's now go for the second piece of transfer tape, we're going to overlap it slightly like maybe half an inch so you can see the grid here so that it essentially forms one big piece of transfer tape, okay?

Carefully remove the backrest, hold it away from your body and your project is to unroll the backrest again, make a U shape and you'll want to do your best to overlap it by about half an inch, it won't. you're not going to get it exact because you're holding it up like this, so make sure you have enough air for the margin. I mean, there's a lot of tape here to cover the rest of the design, so right now I can say I have a problem because I have this paper board, so I'm going to move it right now so that my design is more on the mat, because Where it doesn't touch the backing, you're going to want to touch it.

The surface I'm working on is fine, so let's pull, let's cut this top part off here right now because I see it's stuck to it now, if it had been paper, I would have had a giant mess on it. his hands, okay, so let's just cut that out. right now slide this over and make sure it's all pretty smooth you don't have to worry about bubbles that's not important we're looking for big giant creases that kind of thing we don't want so now with removable vinyl, you want to be gentle when you scrape transfer vinyl to transfer tape, it will move more if you are really aggressive about it, so don't go too crazy, you just need it enough to make it work. sticking to that transfer tape, fixing wrinkles if you see them because we want the wall to be nice and smooth without us having to make any corrections.

That's the point of us making this design by layering it before placing it on the wall. we have more control over how it works, that's probably a good thing, so now that we have all the artists together, there's one more step before we can put it on the wall, turn it around, and we need to make sure that all of this is supported by our La decal is all taped on, it's all big, basically one layer back here and that's important for removing it and how we're going to apply it to the wall, so I'm going to use this tape and we're basically trying to make it a layer back here, okay, so there's a piece there and this is like, boy, there's so many things we can do right here because it was cut right, it wasn't even cut there, it was just a weird piece of vinyl that started out great, so now it's there. one piece now is what piece of the back of this now we have to put it under the wall.

Don't remove the backing yet and place it where you want it to be so this design has some dots on top and the words dream. big underneath so we're actually going to center it on our board like this but we want to make sure it's level and placed correctly so always check the placement of your decal before placing it correctly so I'm going to use my ruler and I'll make sure it's centered so it's centered and then I'll use a level to make sure it's level because there's nothing worse than having something on your wall that's not straight and I.

I'm just checking the bottom of the rainbows because that's the straightest part of this design and it looks straight and it's a good idea to ask someone else if they think it looks straight, someone standing some distance away, Greggy just looks straight, so now Our next step is to tape along the top edge of our transfer tape. You already know which tape is strong, but make sure to use recent painters tape so you don't remove the tape or remove the paint from the wall. What we're going to do is turn this decal over, remove the backing, and then smooth it out onto our wall, so it really helps to have a second set of hands for this because it's really big, so Greg will be coming over. help us, so I'm going to smooth it from the top while we stay in the center, like this booth in the center, where someone stays in the center, we're going to move this back so you want to smooth from the center out like you do with any other type of vinyl when you work and then we're going to want to scrape it off because this is a removable vinyl, it's going to be on that second bar as good as you might think. permanent vinyl, so we're going to need to help it all weekend by scraping it off, as you know, just look before it's done, you've paid attention to the edges, a lot of bubbles develop from the center, right?

Let's check my pants or tape, you're going to want to go slow and be gentle, here we go, so once it's off, you want to look for any air bubbles, use your scraper tool and work from the center out, so you can I have some bubbles here, they are hard to smooth out and if it happens what you can do is use as your cricket to control a knife or an executive or anything with a very sharp tip and what you do is you point and put the tip of your knife you're just going to pop the bubble and you want to get a bug like a hole in the middle of that bubble so the air can escape, so there's one right here and I'm just going to put it in and then I'll disappear like That's right and you can't see that, where you know you're not making a slit or a cut, you're just pushing on the bubble, so now we need to position our letters so they go down here at the bottom.

It's very easy, but we want to make sure that they are centered and then we have to put in our sunspots and I'm going to do these spots completely manually. We're not going to use transfer tape because all they are are circles. They're just big stickers, but I'm going to put them back up. I'm just going to make them to put the color in before I put the purple color in before I put it on the wall. It's really quite simple here, so there's one on top. here like this, it's very easy to suspect what's best for this project, so we're going to need a piece of transfer tape for our letters, sure we don't get rid of that so close it looks like it's about five inches.

Go ahead and put it in right now, we'll just need another little bit at the end. Thanks, what I'm going to do is I'm going to put dreams on one piece of transfer tape that's big and on the other one, there we go, so let's go. use our scraper, okay, now we want to make sure it's centered. You know we have a good place to put it before we put it in, so we're going to check that it's 18 and a half inches, so let's see how wide it is. at the bottom this is 31 inches so 31 minus 18 and a half is 12 and a half yes 12 and a half so 12 half of 12 and a half is six and a quarter we want to make sure we have six and a quarter inches on each side this is how we're going to know it's centered so let me go down here we're going to record the market okay so we're going to measure it to make sure we have the same distance on each side of our layout so it's 6 and 1/2 on this side , okay, it looks good, so I'm going to keep it recorded here because we have a little bit more, we don't have any extra there, you can go ahead and just put a piece of tape right here, so I'll make it right so you can put a piece of tape there like this and then you'll lift it up look how easy that was so we got a request perfectly before we had to do it.

Worrying about where it was going to go, so we did the same thing before scraping it and then taking the transfer table, so here's our project. I think it turned out amazing. You think it's super cute, so I know. There will be some questions, the first question I'm sure will come up is: do we have to use removable vinyl? What if we only have permanent vinyl? What if we don't care if it sticks to our wall and removes the drywall? we're whatever it's not important to us or whatever so here's the thing besides being removable which is awesome and we want a removable vinyl to also be matte so you see how it's not shiny it's not reflective the light, that means we can see our design better if this was a glossy image, you would see some of it is reflected, some of it is not and it's hard to make out the design so I suggest you avoid glossy vinyl even if you can find a glossy vinyl and a removable vinyl because of that image because of that problem, so just that shine on the wall will make your hard work so hard to appreciate.

I mean, now some people combine a removal like a matte vinyl and a removable permanent button, sorry, and a removable vinyl. glitter vinyl together for particular effects, but you just need to use the glitter vinyl carefully, sparingly, and of course, I mean, I think some other questions will be fine, what if it's just one color like you know? I'm not going to do all of these layers if you're doing a single color, you can just lay it on the wall and mix it all up as you go, you don't need to layer it ahead of time and again you can still layer it on the wall if you prefer.

Think it's going to work for you and you have a good range and good lighting and you know you can move your head to where it needs to be, so it will depend on where it is if it's uncomfortable. location, you probably don't want to do it that way, well I guess that's it, I hope this helped you see how it's actually possible to make these bigger projects that kill them without it being something that you know isn't magic, right? TRUE? It's actually just separating our pieces into matte parts so we can cut them out on our mat and then we just put them together and of course we can do this with paper too, it doesn't have to be vinyl, you can use cardstock.

You do it exactly the same way except you piece the black ones together, you have the back sides, the purple side is taped together and then we glue all the layers on top and that's how we do it so I found this paper that It's called cricket. cardstock straw sample and is ideal for this particular project. If I had the time, I would have cut this project out of this paper to show you how you can put together a project

than a map with paper instead of vinyl, but this video is already taking so long, I can show you again in the future, if you're willing. interested, just leave a comment below and I'll be happy to redo this project with paper instead of vinyl, so if you have any questions, just leave. leave a comment below the video or check out my awesome amazing facebook group at jennifer maker comm slash

crafters and I think that's it remember if you can tell me what you want to make I can show you how to do it until next time.
