Layering Vinyl on a Gift Box

What a fun way to dress up a transparent gift box – layering vinyl in different colours for a stunning effect. An easy way to create a beautiful and unique gift box for someone special.

How to:

I combined Gold and Holographic Blue Vinyl to create this heart cut on my Cricut Maker.

Step 1

Cut the images out of the vinyl – I used this heart image from Design Space. The first layer prompts the heart cut that I used the gold vinyl for. The second cut prompts the XOXO and I then used a scrap piece of my blue Holographic vinyl.

Step 2

Use your Cricut weeder tool and weed both images.

Step 3

Apply transfer tape onto the XOXO and burnish with the scraper tool.

Step 4

Position the XOXO on top of the heart.

Step 5

Burnish the entire design – This will lift the gold heart together with the XOXO.

Step 6

Remove the transfer tape with the image from the white backing. Here you can see the blue backing of the holographic vinyl.

Step 7

Place the design down onto the gift box and then burnish again to transfer onto your box. Carefully peel the transfer tape off.

And in a few easy steps, you have a gorgeous and totally unique gift box ready to be filled with some brightly coloured tissue paper and lots of spoils.

This is sure to make someone’s day a lot brighter – totally unique and special in every way, just like my Cricut Maker.
