Today I’m going to show you how I made this retro Christmas sign with my Cricut! It’s a super easy Cricut project, and a great intro to layering vinyl.

Material List:
- Wood Sign (I faux-stained and painted it)
- Vinyl
- Transfer Tape
- Cricut Tools: scraper, weeding tool
Step 1: Weed Your Vinyl
After cutting your vinyl you’ll need to remove the excess vinyl by pulling at an angle, and going slowly to ensure no pieces move. Depending on the vinyl and size of your project it may be easier to cut the excess vinyl once you’ve pulled it up so you’re not pulling as large of a piece at one time.
Once the excess vinyl is pulled off you can weed the vinyl. For this design there are only two pieces you need to weed – the inside of the R and A. For larger pieces I use the Cricut weeding tool, but for tiny pieces I use a weeding pen.
Step 2: Apply Transfer Tape
Step 3: Layer the Vinyl
Then using a scraper tool, adhere the vinyl to the transfer tape.
Again, remove the backing of the vinyl by pulling slowly at an angle.
Step 4: Adhere to Wood Sign
