Today I'm sharing 5 tricks for putting vinyl on round Christmas ornaments without the wrinkles!
I shared all of my tricks in a Facebook Live I did a few weeks ago on Silhouette School's Facebook page. Because that Silhouette video tutorial was so in depth, I have included it below and will mostly let it speak for itself.
I am including a list of links to the Silhouette supplies and vinyl I used below. The So Fontsy Farmhouse Christmas 2.0 bundle (available now ... but only 'til 11/4/19 includes the Scandinavian snowflake design!

But for those of you who'd rather read than watch...my five tricks for putting vinyl on round ornaments are also listed below.
- It all starts with having the right round ornaments and I think the flat rounds are the way to go since you get a larger flatter surface for your vinyl
- Make your vinyl decal smaller than you think! This helps prevent wrinkling
- Trim the transfer tape as close to the vinyl decals as possible
- Snip and Clip! Snip into the transfer tape toward your vinyl decal to allow for extra flexibility while applying
- Apply the vinyl decal from the center out to each side
