Using Contact Paper Instead Of Vinyl Silhouette

How to cut contact paper to look like vinyl with your cricut.

Using contact paper instead of vinyl silhouette.

Settings for silhouette cameo when cutting contact paper. After a day spent wasting some expensive silhouette vinyl in addition to some cheaper vinyl i did a quick search for using the silhouette cameo with contact paper and i can t thank you enough for all of the information in this post. I figured i d be flying thru vinyl by using that as a stencil. It look good at the time but not great.

Part 1 before i had the silhouette i found various ways to make my own letters and numbers to stick on blocks like this christmas count down set. I have wanted a silhouette for 3 years or so and finally ordered one. So do you finll in your stenciled areas completely with the mod podge. I stuck the contact paper with the backing on the carrier sheet i made and put it through the silhouette.

Do you ever do a craft and you are not 100 happy with it. I don t quite understand the mod podge thing. I love your idea with the contact paper. The best thing i found was to use contact paper french.

You can see exactly the cut out shape so what you do now is remove the excess adhesive so there is only your shape left on the backing paper. I use the yellow cap and tell the program that i am using silhouette vinyl.
