You may demand to resize the designs thus that they tally onto your wood. When you lot are ready, charge the adhesive vinyl into your Cricut as well as impress the designs.

Once the pattern was cut, I removed the vinyl letters thus I was left amongst the stencil of the words.

You desire the gum to choke transparent, but yet live tacky to send upon earlier you lot add together the golden foil. Below is a photograph of the gum merely earlier I applied the foil.
