How to Apply Cricut Transfer Tape?

To apply Cricut transfer tape, place it over your weeded design and use a scraper tool to ensure good contact between the tape and vinyl.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Weed Your Design: Remove all the excess vinyl from your design, leaving only the image you want to transfer on the carrier sheet.

2. Prepare Transfer Tape: Cut a piece of transfer tape slightly larger than your design.

3. Apply Transfer Tape:

   • Carefully position the transfer tape over your weeded design. Start at one edge and slowly smooth it over the entire design to avoid bubbles.
   • Use a scraper tool (or a credit card) to burnish the transfer tape onto the vinyl design. Apply firm pressure to ensure the vinyl adheres to the tape. Focus on even pressure across the entire design.

4. Lift the Design: Slowly peel the transfer tape (with the vinyl design attached) away from the original vinyl carrier sheet. If any part of the design doesn't lift with the transfer tape, burnish it again with the scraper tool and try again.

5. Position and Apply to Surface: Carefully position the transfer tape with the attached vinyl design onto your desired surface.

6. Burnish onto Surface: Use the scraper tool to burnish the vinyl design onto the surface. Apply firm, even pressure.

7. Remove Transfer Tape: Slowly peel the transfer tape away from the vinyl design, leaving the vinyl adhered to your surface. If the vinyl starts to lift with the transfer tape, burnish that area again and try peeling from a different angle.
