• Stickers and Vinyl decals:
  • You can create stickers by printing our your design on the appropriate sticker material and then using your machine to cut it out
  • Cut designs directly on your vinyl to create decals for your wall, car, and other surfaces.

• Etched Glass
  • Using vinyl as a stencil for your design
  • Create a beautiful frosted look on wine glasses, mirrors, windows, and there are even etching creams that work on metal surfaces as well

• Personalized kitchenware
  • Again, these projects include using vinyl as a stencil for your design
  • You can use something as simple as Sharpie, and cure it on ceramic items
  • Other ink pens can be cured on glass and metal, which allow for more use of your design stencil. We use these Multi Surface Paint Pens for our projects.
