Using the Cricut to Make A Vinyl Sticker
Unlike ordinary stickers, vinyl stickers are not multicolor pre-printed designs. Instead, the Cricut cuts a design of your choosing on a single color piece of vinyl. Vinyl stickers can also sometimes be used as stencil patterns for different surfaces. Vinyl stickers are a great choice for larger designs and simplistic pieces. We also have heat press vinyl which can be applied to clothing! They are also faster to make.
