Sharing buttons:
hey guys welcome back to my channel so
today I am going to make a vinyl decal
using three different colors so I am
just gonna show you how to use those
colors using registration marks to line
it all up and I also I'm making a
monogram pineapple for my coffee mug
so I already made the monogram over here
and I will just link below how I did
that I made a video on that already so I
am going to upload my images here I'm
going to upload the pineapple mm-hmm
which I already have here so I'm going
to show you this I'm gonna insert the
image and my computer has been moving
kind of slow so I might speed some
things up here if it's moving slow so
I'm gonna adjust the that was very big
so I'm just gonna make this a little
smaller okay so for this I want to make
this part green in this bottom the part
of the pineapple the bottom part yellow
but if you look at this it's all one
layer so to do this I need to upload the
pineapple to two more times so I'm just
going to move this to the side and I'm
going to hit upload and then I'm going
to upload image browse and I'm just
gonna double click on the pineapple I'm
going to hit complex and continue you
can probably hit simple for this one but
I just a hit complex usually all the
time okay so I'm going to zoom out here
and I want just the stem so it's not
letting me zoom out all the way but I'm
gonna try to crop this I'm gonna hit the
crop button and I'm just gonna
oops undo yeah okay so I am going to
zoom back out here okay so now I'm going
to start down here I'm going to scroll
up
- there okay so now I have just this
part I'm going to erase the yellow
okay so now I just want to make sure oh
that's why I hit preview I'm going to
hide preview and get the rest of this
off of here
okay so now I'm gonna hit preview again
okay so there's a little bit more there
so I'm just gonna get that okay one more
time I'll hit preview okay so that looks
good so I'm gonna hit continue I'm going
to select the save as a cut image okay
and then I hit save
okay so now I have that part so now I'm
going to upload image one more time I'm
going to hit browse I'm going to select
the pineapple again complex so now what
I'm going to do is just crop what I want
here so I'm basically just trimming away
this unwanted image I'm gonna zoom out
okay so now I'm going to erase this part
I'm going to hit preview again okay so
everything looks good there so I'm going
to hit continue I'm going to select the
save as a cut image I'm going to hit
save okay so now I'm just gonna select
click on both of these and I'm going to
insert them into my design space try to
make this smaller okay so okay so I'm
going to just kind of bring this down I
want both of these selected because I
want them to stay the same size so yes I
just make sure that these are both
highlighted and I make them smaller okay
so now I'm going to zoom back in okay so
I got that now I am going to try to line
this up here and try to line it up kind
of how it looks over there so I like to
have this image over here so I can look
at this one and kind of line it up and
see what it looks like so that's helpful
but now that I haven't lined up kind of
how I like it I am going to just delete
this one so now I have three different
layers here and that's what I want
because I want each layer to be a
different color so for the tree stem
part I want that to be green change it
kind of closer to what color I'm doing
and then for this part of the pineapple
I want it to be yellow okay so we have
that now I want this monogrammed to be
in the center of the pineapple so I am
going to select a circle shape and I am
going to slice the image here so I'm
going to just try to adjust this how I
want it let's see okay so I think that
looks pretty good there I am
to select both of these now and I'm
going to hit slice okay so now I'm going
to move my initials inside the pineapple
and I'm going to adjust it for the size
that I want it now I have it all done I
have my three different layers the next
thing that I want to do is I think I
will resize this let's see actually I'm
gonna make it 3.8 inches
now I'm gonna add my registration marks
okay so I'm going to select square I'm
going to unlock it okay then I'm gonna
hit duplicate and then I am going to
select both of these and hit align align
to bottom and then I'm going to hit weld
and I'm gonna move these down below my
pineapple okay so the next thing that
I'm going to do okay so I just kind of
like to Center it below it so the next
thing I'm gonna do is I need three
layers so I am going to select all of
this here and I'm going to hit duplicate
and then I'm going to duplicate it one
more time okay so the next thing that
I'm going to do is I am going to choose
each color on each image basically so
this one I'm just going to print off the
green so I want to hide the pink and
yellow so I'm going to click on that and
I'm going to hit hide and then I'm gonna
click on the yellow and I'm going to hit
hide and then on this one I'm just gonna
do the yellow so I'm going to click on
the my initials and I'm going to hit and
it'll highlight it which is always so
helpful helpful to me so that I'm going
to click hide and then I'm gonna select
the green and I'm going
hide it and then the next thing that I'm
going to do is um click I need that I
want the pink one so I'm gonna select
green hide yellow hide ok so here's all
of my images I'm gonna print the next
thing I'm gonna do is space it out with
how I am going to I'm going to cut it
and what I'm going to do is cut all of
these on just at one one time so I am
going to cut my green vinyl yellow vinyl
and pink vinyl and I'm going to put all
three of those on my mat and I just have
to make sure that I measure correctly so
it makes me a little nervous doing it
but it works out really well so I have
all everything together so the next
thing I'm gonna do is copy everything
and I just love dragging over it there's
other ways you can do it but that's my
easiest way to select it all so now I'm
going to hit attach and this will line
it up on my mat exactly how I have it
here and it turns it all the same color
so I'm gonna hit make it on here what I
like it shows I'm gonna zoom in it shows
on these red lines here and it shows
where it's gonna get cut off so it looks
like it's kind of gonna get cut off here
so all I have to do is select this
select it and just move it over just a
tiny bit well I'll probably just like
right there okay so that looks very good
alright so I'm gonna hit continue thank
you
each of these vinyl pieces out along
with the measurements it's gonna start
running this through it

Here I am placing the transfer tape over
one of the layers I always have troubles
getting the vinyl to pull up onto the
transfer tape so if anyone has any
suggestions or recommendations for a
great transfer tape please let me know
I've heard expressions vinyl has good
transfer tape so I might have to try
that the next thing I'm going to do is
fold back the backing of the vinyl where
the register registration marks are the
only ones exposed these boxes we are
going to use to line up with the other
boxes on the other layers I remove the
backing of the vinyl and push down the
transfer tape onto the other layer and I
had to cut out some of what I was doing
because it took me a while to get the
vinyl to stick onto the transfer tape
then I'm going to stick the green stem
part of the pineapple onto my transfer
tape
[Music]
I'm going to line up the registration
marks with the last layer and stick it
onto the transfer tape again
[Music]
I cleaned off my cup and then stuck the
transfer tape with the vinyl attached to
it I am using Oracle 651 since I will be
washing this mug and that is permanent
vinyl I love how it turned out I hope
