A Computer Numerical Control (CNC) knife that is normally used to cut vinyl.
Many Types - we have a Roland and Silhouettes
Multi-Color stickers are done in layers
Much more expensive machines can print color on clear vinyl - makes the process much easier.
A simple sticker only has one part, no shading or very small details (see logo to right).
Let's make our own. You can use Inkscape (preferred) or Google Draw.
Don't worry about the color, we are all using the same.
Remove the sticker and apply it to surface such as your laptop.
Applying your vinyl can seem tough at first. Remember any struggles you had with the simple sticker. As we get into more complex designs, ones with multiple parts, we need to use transfer tape.
