I peel the transfer paper up and cover the words with a layer of clear decoupage to seal them so that none of the paint seeps under the vinyl (5). I center the design on my surface and again use the scraper tool to press everything down and make sure it adheres to the surface completely (4). I can then peel the backing off of my design, revealing the sticky side of the vinyl (3). I then cut a piece of transfer paper to the size of my design. Once I peel off the backing of the transfer paper, I line it up on my design and press the sticky side down, using my scraper tool to make sure the vinyl adheres to the transfer paper (2). Once the machine has cut my design, I weed away the excess vinyl (1). In this example, I used Playfair Display font for the “Lawson & Co.” design and Sugarbush font for the “gather.”

I just measure my surface and then size my design accordingly. I start by creating my design in the Silhouette Studio software. This is probably the method I use most often when making signs, and it is really so simple.

For more information, see my disclosures here. Here’s what you’ll need for both types of signs: ?Īfter seeing the fall tour photos, I decided it was time to fix the problem, and I went on a little sign making spree! I already showed you my not-so-hand-lettered sign that I made with my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine, but I have also used two other oh-so-easy sign making methods with my Silhouette recently, so I thought I’d show you those as well! Ridiculous! Of all the different areas to decorate, walls seem to stump me the most, so rather than taking the time to figure out what to put on them, I just ignore them and they stare at me, sad and bare. Do you know what I noticed while I was editing photos for my fall home tour? Many of the walls in my house are blank.
