Supplies Needed to Make Dinosaur Garden Markers:

How to Make Dinosaur Garden Markers:

  1. In order to get the vinyl to adhere to the surface you will need to prepare your dinosaurs by cleaning the surface liberally with the rubbing alcohol using your dish cloth. Allow to dry.dinosaur garden markers inprocess1
  2. Open your Silhouette Studio software and design your text that will be placed onto each dinosaur. I sized my font to the dimensions shown in the image below.dinosaur garden markers text size
  3. Cut your text on your vinyl using your silhouette cutting machine.
  4. Weed our your text using your silhouette weeding tools until you have a clean design like shown below.dinosaur garden markers inprocess2
  5. Apply your transfer tape to your weeded text and apply pressure. Gently peel away ensuring the vinyl sticks to the transfer tape.dinosaur garden markers inprocess3
  6. Apply the vinyl to the area where you cleaned with the rubbing alcohol in step 1. You may need to apply a lot of pressure since the dinosaurs are textured.dinosaur garden markers inprocess4
  7. Slowly pull away the transfer tape and use your finger to smooth down the vinyl in any areas needed.dinosaur garden markers inprocess5
