Step Three: Weed

Use the weeding tool to remove the extra vinyl from around the cut images. Make sure to remove all the tiny pieces from inside the letters.

Step Four: Transfer Tape

Apply clear transfer tape on top of your design. Use the scraper tool to make sure its applied firm enough to pick up the vinyl letters when lifted.

Step Five: Peel and Stick 

Peel your transfer tape away with the letters and apply it to the mug. Press firmly with your fingers to ensure the design is stuck on there really well. Slowly remove the transfer tape to reveal your design and finished mug and enjoy!
