Hi im new to vinyl and want to make glitter tattoo stencils and also wall decor
which vinyl and transfer tape do i need

im using the sillouette cameo

thanks

Well, for both walls and to stick to bodies I would have thought you need low tack removable vinyl. So this is what I would suggest you cut out from http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/aslanmattremovable.asp although this is 24" wide and you would have to cut it to fit your cameo. Then you require low tack transfer tape so look here http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/paperappli ... total.asp# . You need to make sure you buy a low tack one or you will pull the removable vinyl off with it.

This is what I have but I'm obviously doing something wrong
Because its not working. When I send from laptop to silhouette and click
cut it doesn't do anything?? I've asked it to do test cut which it does
So no idea why. I've cut some paper and rhinestone templates sonmachine appears
To be working. Any suggestions anyone. Thanks

Just my take on the application tape.....I would use medium tack for this. I have tried low tack and to be honest I found it was worse than useless on normal vinyl. So bad that I still have most of a full roll left after buying it in a couple of years ago.

Regarding the 'non cut' problem. If you have more then one 'printer' set up on your computer make sure the work is being directed to the correct machine. The other possibility is that the machine is not recognising the cut line and needs to be set up to do so.

I would also recommend medium tack application tape for normal sign vinyl BUT I was recommending low tack application tape for low tack removable vinyl
