How to Layer Vinyl Decals on Cricut the EASY WAY!

Layering adhesive vinyl on projects can be tough. I know, it was hard for me when I first started attempting layered vinyl projects. You try to line up everything just right, but it’s always off by just a hair and then before you can pull it back up and adjust it, it’s stuck and the design is ruined. It can be so frustrating. But, it doesn't have to be that way! I can teach you how to layer vinyl on Cricut! There is a really cool hack that practically guarantees perfect placement every single time. That is exactly what I will show you. It's actually a lot easier than you might think and it will save you so much time and material!

Jennifer, you are an EXCELLENT teacher! You present every lesson at the perfect pace, attention to detail, and provide a level of instruction that even a new crafter such as myself can follow. I've been searching all over for various tutorials and have decided that you are definitely my go-to when I have a question. I really think you should be on television - your warm personality and your knack for teaching would make for a fantastic show! Grateful for you!

Jennifer, in you live session yesterday you went over the different segements of your Maker Merry Mingle on your website. I have never seen such commitment and love put into a website. The time and effort you spend to do all this is just amazing. To include the written instuctions to print out....Woozer!!! I truly enjoy watching you and the love you emit on your videos. You always have little giggles going on and you answer questions even if they have been asked a hundred times. God bless you and your work.

I cant thank you enough! I wanted a cricut for the longest time, so my husband bought me one. I had no clue how to use it and was really frustrated with it because it seemed to be so complicated!! Thanks to you and all your videos, i learned sooo much. You have the BEST youtube videos and you make everything so easy to understand. Thank you so much!!

I've watched quite a few other videos to help me get started with my new Cricut, and yours stand head and shoulders above the rest. You're well spoken, explain everything in a very clear and intuitive way, and are just pleasant overall to listen to/watch. Your tips and explanations are also very well thought out and really "click" 💡. After watching just a few of your videos, I feel considerably more comfortable and confident about using my machine and navigating design space (that design space map you created looks especially helpful). As far as I'm concerned, you're my new Cricut best friend 😁 I'll definitely be exploring your website and printables! Thanks so, so much! 🥰

I search your videos anytime I'm trying something new. Today I layered vinyl for the 1st time. It went very smoothly with your instruction. Thank you so much for these videos

Jennifer I watched 5 or 6 videos on how to layer vinyl and your video was the most informative one. Thank you for your wonderful teaching. I am creating something with 6 layers and I went step by step with your video layering my design. I am so excited to see my project completed. I used to eyeball my layers or just didn’t make complicated designs. I no longer fear working with layers. Love from Maryland.

thank you so much for your clear concise explanations. My daughter and I are newbies and rather than try everything all at once and get totally overwhelmed we want to take our time learning and having fun with our cricut with a view to starting a small business when we are proficient enough. I would also like to compliment you on your lovely easy to listen to voice as someone who is deaf in one ear i find love how easy it is to listen to and follow your instructions. thank you once again for your help .Kate from Australia

I ordered my first Cricut machine ever a few days ago and I've been madly binge watching your videos to prepare myself. I love the pacing and how you thoroughly explain every step. I can't wait to get my machine and try some projects with your videos to help guide me!

[sweett]

Gosh I love Maker! She's a life saver. She is always so thorough, has the best tips, & explains everything so you can understand & easily follow along! ❤

[laurenefalk]

I am so glad you exist and make these videos. I would have no clue what I was doing if not for you!

[denisecastelli]

Thank you SO much! I am newly retired and thought about making various projects with our Cricut Maker 3 (upgrade from a 2-week-old explore Air 2). The most helpful aspect of your production is the use of Standard grip transfer tape (didn't know there were options!), the use of parchment paper to aid in aligning the layers (absolutely useful) and lastly, the use of registration marks.
My first attempt at layering was a complete disaster! I used permanent vinyl and strong transfer tape. You know what the outcome was! Without the parchment paper and standard grip transfer tape, the second layer adhered to the first and there was no coming back from that! Thanks again for all the work you are doing to make this hobby enjoyable.

[rosanna]

Oh my stars. I am trying this tomorrow. Thank you! May your “stars” align!

[EmilsaJHeraty]

You are definitely my go to teacher when I am having a problem. You are fun to listen to and you make learning fun. I love that you can laugh at yourself because it makes me feel less "stupid" when I make silly mistakes. Thank you for all the effort you put into teaching us how to Cricut!! I'm so happy you are here helping out.
