Easy steps on how to create these yourself, with a Cricut Machine:

• Choose your material: Decals can be made from various materials such as adhesive vinyl, paper, or even heat transfer vinyl HTV for fabric application. Choose a material that suits your needs, such as vinyl for outdoor use or paper for temporary indoor decals.
• Prepare your material: If you're using vinyl, ensure it's clean and free of any dust or debris. For paper decals, choose a high-quality paper that can hold the ink or toner without smudging.
• Print your design: Use a printer suitable for your chosen material. For vinyl decals, you may need a printer that can handle thicker materials. Make sure to adjust the printer settings for the best print quality.
• Cut out the decal: If you're using vinyl, you'll need a cutting machine like a vinyl cutter or a craft knife to cut out the decal along the edges of your design. If you're using paper, scissors or a paper cutter can be used, yet a professional look from your home can be produced with a Cricut Machine.
• Apply transfer tape (if using vinyl): Transfer tape is a sticky adhesive sheet that helps transfer the vinyl decal from its backing onto the desired surface without losing its shape. Carefully apply the transfer tape over the vinyl decal and press down firmly to ensure it adheres well.
• Prepare the surface: Clean the surface where you'll be applying the decal thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or moisture. This will help the decal adhere properly and last longer and keep your placement of this sticker as you desire.
• Apply the decal: Carefully peel off the backing from the vinyl decal (if using vinyl with transfer tape) or directly apply the paper decal onto the surface. Use a squeegee or a credit card to smooth out any air bubbles and ensure the decal sticks firmly to the surface.
• Remove the transfer tape (if using vinyl): If you used transfer tape with your vinyl decal, slowly peel off the transfer tape at a sharp angle, making sure the vinyl decal remains on the surface.
