Applying Your Design

Once your design is cut out, it's time to apply it to your project. To do this, you can use transfer tape or iron-on vinyl. If you're using transfer tape, simply peel away the backing and apply the design to your project. If you're using iron-on vinyl, you'll need to iron it onto your project. Once your design is applied, you're all finished!
