2.ORACAL Vinyl Self Adhesive Vinyl Sheet
5. Gloves and a plate
6. Sponge
7. Armour Etch (Glass etching cream)

I bought a Pyrex baking dish from amazon. Its a Christmas gift and I want to personalize it with a name. You can use whatever size and shape of the glass dish.

Check the dimension of the surface and adjust the image’s side allowances. You can use measuring tape to check the sizes, it is so important to calculate the right size and sides allowance to make it look beautiful. It should be in the middle of the surface and equal from all sides to look it more professional.
Next you will want to log into design space and upload your image you are using or you can create your own or purchase these particular letters from me at Homesteadhow.com



There are many letters and symbols so the cricut machine will cut them separately, to avoid all this situation you can select all and select the “Attach” button to put all these little pieces all together to cut it as one piece. But before you attach, be sure that your name is centered. Adjust the name “Cindy” in the middle of the image. You can set it bigger or smaller and left or right. Just play around and set it accurately. You can adjust the image automatically selecting all and pressing “center” button and “attach ” the image again to cut it as a whole.

Since you want this on the bottom of your dish, you will want to “Mirror” the image before you cut it out.

Put your vinyl to the mat and make sure that your mat is sticky to hold it firmly. You can use the Scrapper tool to rub it make it bubble free. Now it is ready to cut. Put the vinyl mat into the machine and press start. After a few minutes your vinyl will be ready.

Now carefully weed it. Weeding is the removing excess vinyl around your design. Carefully remove all the negative spaces.
