• Craftables Black Adhesive Vinyl
• Craftables Transfer Tape
• Zots Singles (Small)
• Cricut Cutting Machine
• Cricut Cutting Mat
• Weeding Tool
• Squeegee (or credit card)

Step 1: Grab the free Craftables “Wash Your Hands” SVG from the Craftables website and click “Download”.

Step 2: Open up Cricut Design Space, click on “new project”. Then, click on “upload” on the left-hand side, and select the “Wash Your Hands” svg file from the location where you saved it. Click “save” once it’s been uploaded to Design Space. Then, click on the file and click “Insert image” to add it to your project.

Step 3:  Resize the file to fit the front of the glass on the frame you’ve selected. Then, click “Make it”.

Step 4: Select your material size and adhesive vinyl and then continue.

Step 5: Add your black vinyl to the cutting mat with the vinyl side facing up (If you want your vinyl to be on the inside of the glass, flip the vinyl over so the liner is facing up). Then, add the mat to your machine and press start.

Step 6: Remove the mat from the machine, trim as close as you can to the design, and use a weeding tool to weed the excess vinyl around the design.

Step 7: Cut a piece of transfer tape a little bit larger than your design, place it on top, use a squeegee or credit card over the tape, and then slowly peel it back. The design will be adhered to the tape.

Step 8: Place the design on the front of the frame glass, use the squeegee again on top, and then peel back the liner.

Step 9: Add small glue dots to all 4 corners on the front of the glass.

Step 10: Place the glass face down inside of the frame and press down on all of the corners to adhere the glass to the frame.
