Cut out all of the layers of vinyl and weed them.

After you have that done, trim the transfer plastic almost to where the edge of the vinyl is. Removing any parts that may overlap the other parts of the design.

Place all the pieces on your blank making sure there is no overlap of the transfer plastic and the vinyl. If this happens you will press the vinyl right on to the other transfer plastic.

Adding some heat resistant tape helps to keep everything in place.
