The video shows you all steps i used to make my egg sign but let me touch on the steps here.
1. Lightly sand the back side of your egg sign. I then applied 2 coats of acrylic paint. You can use any light color. Acrylic or chalk, use what you have on hand!
2. While my paint is drying I cut all my vinyl. The file is grouped by color for you to make it easier to cut. I also added a cut box around the words to help with good clean cuts and to make it easier to weed.
3. Once every thing is cut you can then go through and weed your vinyl. When weeding i like to use a sharp point tweezers. Also, as I am pulling my vinyl off i like to keep it close to the project so it weeds easier.
4. Once everything is weeded I trim everything down to the size of the weeding box.
5. Now its time to layer our vinyl. I started out with the teal which is my egg decoration. I used my transfer tape and applied it to the vinyl to pick it up. Make sure you have extra transfer tape on onside to do a hinge with it.
6. Next, take your egg and put it down, then lay your parchment paper on top. Put your vinyl\transfer on top and slide it around until you have it placed where you want it. Take that extra transfer tape you have on the one side and attach it your work surface. This is your hinge. Pick up your transfer tape, pull out your parchment paper and lay down your vinyl. Use your squeegee and rub it on. Then pull off your transfer tape. Again, staying close to the egg.
7. Next i picked the blue which is the Happy Easter. It goes right below the decoration pieces. Repeat the same steps as about. Lay your transfer tape down on the vinyl (used the same transfer tape for the whole project). Remember to leave extra on the one side, pull the vinyl and transfer tape away from the backing. Lay your parchment paper down on the egg, put the Vinyl\tape down and move it around to get your position. Don’t be afraid to look at the PNG file to see your placement. Once you have your spot, hinge it down, pull out your parchment paper and lay your vinyl down.
8. Repeat for all other colors.
9. Then take your paint and sponge and dry sponge a little bit of paint around the edge of the egg to get it a little extra.
10. Decorate as you wish.
11. ENJOY!!!
