Method 1 finding a place for the decal.

Applying vinyl stickers to glass.

Use your burnishing tool or scraper to ensure it is completely stuck down. When applying vinyl to glass you need to leave the finished project for a day or two afterwards before using and washing it. Cut out your wording with whatever color vinyl you want weed it and then start putting the vinyl on glass part of your frame. Try applying the center of the sticker first then press the outer edges of the vinyl sticker into place.

So cut the tape and the backing down as close to the vinyl as you can before peeling off the tape to transfer it to the glass. Place the middle of the design down on the glass first lining up the bottom edge with the water line left below. To start on the other side remove the remaining backing paper. Apply the vinyl decal.

They can really stand out if only on the vinyl but it looks like it was meant to be that way if you cover the whole mug. Use the least amount of tape as possible. Burnish the decal. Applying vinyl to glass clean your glass with rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner.

While i m looking at my computer i lay mine on top of the glass first to gauge where i want everything. Continue holding the sticker securely as you place it on a wet or dry surface. Aim to do this in a fluid motion to prevent any air bubbles from forming. I have made several thousand items with adhesive vinyl so i have become quite fluent with application of the material.

How to avoid bubbles when applying vinyl when working with vinyl and other similar materials much of the finished product depends on your techniques. To apply adhesive decals clean the area properly remove the protective cover position the decal and use a hard plastic object like a credit card to apply it and remove bubbles. We recommend that you cover the entire mug and not just the decal because you will see some little brushstrokes. Pinch the vertical edges of the vinyl sticker as you place it down.

This allows the adhesive to fully adhere. It is best to hand wash this type of thing though personally i do put mugs with the same vinyl through the dishwasher and they re totally fine. Once again focus on one section at a time and press from the middle out towards the edge.
