Ingredients
Instructions
- Start by making your design in Cricut Design Space. If you like my design, you can get it HERE, but you’ll want to create your project with your own names, of course! I used the Beefcakes font for the words.
- Load Cricut Premium Vinyl shiny side down into your machine and cut. (Since we’re working with vinyl, do NOT use the mirror option.) Note: you can cut a piece of vinyl the size of your project and attach to your mat, or I prefer loading the whole sheet of vinyl and cutting off the design section afterwards.Cricut Premium Vinyl
- Also, I put all my names in one project, adjusting the size of each name to fit the length of the chip clip. If you prefer, you can do one name at a time, but that will take longer.
- Once you have finished cutting, peel the backing away from your design and weed out the remaining material.
- To prepare your clips for application, clean the area where you’ll be applying the vinyl using a cotton ball moistened with rubbing alcohol. Let dry.
- Cut apart each of them names. Then cut a piece of transfer tape slightly larger than each name.Transfer Tape
- Remove the liner from the transfer tape and place it adhesive side down over your name, starting in the center and then moving to the edges.
- Use a scraper or other hard smooth tool to rub the tape firmly onto the vinyl.
- Peel the vinyl liner away at a 45-degree angle. If you’re missing any pieces, rub the tape onto the vinyl again and remove.
- Press the transfer tape onto the clip, again starting at the center and moving out to the edges. Use the scraper to press down.
- Peel the transfer tape away at a 45-degree angle.
- Add a bag of chips or other snacks to your chip clip and you’re ready to give it as a gift!
