"Dogs Welcome People Tolerated" Vinyl Decal Sign Cut with Silhouette Cameo

Ages ago, I cut a couple of designs about dogs being welcome and people being tolerated. The design I used for this week's sign was too big for the Dollar Tree metal sign blank that I had set aside for it (I must have measured wrong), but my backup design fit, so I made that sign and gifted it to my sister. Well, skip ahead several months later and I finally made it to Michael's and picked up a sign blank that would fit the design and complement the color of the vinyl (I even had a coupon).

As you can see, I cut the vinyl out with a bunch of Christmas designs, so it had been a while. I used black permanent vinyl and cut apart each design after it made it out of the Silhouette Cameo.

That cut design sat around in my craft cart for months before I finally found a sign. I used my weeding tool to remove the extra vinyl.

After the design was weeded, I cut a square of transfer tape to match and prepared my sign surface.

The sign was oriented in the wrong direction for my sign, so I clipped off the little twine hanger on the back. I currently have the sign sitting on a shelf, so I don't need to replace the hanger for now.

I applied the transfer tape as centered as I could manage and rubbed it down with the handle of my weeding tool. Then I peeled off the paper backing from the vinyl.

I applied the transfer tape to the sign and rubbed the vinyl down again with the handle of my weeding tool and pulled away the transfer tape. The design was positioned a bit higher than I would like, but it seems like it's never quite where I want it to be. :)

And just like that, a vinyl decal that had been sitting in my stash got made into something. It's always satisfying to finish a work in progress!
