We’re talking plastic, wood, glass, metal, ceramic, and more! Basically, any object can be decorated. Although, we’d recommend hand washing for best results and durability! The paper liner goes face down when cutting, so the colored vinyl side is exposed to the blade. After cutting, remove or “weed” the excess material from the liner. When your design is fully weeded, place application tape on top of the vinyl side and burnish with a squeegee. The pressure from the squeegee releases the vinyl from the liner allowing it to lift with the tape. Now you can place your decal on almost any hard surface, burnish with the squeegee once more, and when you lift the tape this time the vinyl remains on the object.
