DIRECTIONS:
- Open Design Space and insert your image or images.
- Highlight one image and duplicate once.
- Using the duplicate, contour so nothing is seen, or use weld, and the image will turn to a blank image outline.
- Duplicate the new contoured image six times.
- Place one duplicate alone, place another one slightly to the right, place another slightly under, place another one slightly to the left, and place another slightly above.
- Highlight this series of duplicated images and weld them together.
- This creates a white border to go behind your original colored image.
- Change the welded image to white and send behind your original image.
- Highlight the two overlapping and select flatten.
- Load printable vinyl into your printer.
- Print with your printer and follow on screen instructions for print cut.
- Decorate water bottle with stickers.
JOANN HACKS:
- You only need 5-6 duplicated images to create a slightly thicker white background for your sticker image.
- When printing, turn bleed off when it prompts you to print, and select that you want your printer's dialogue.
- Change to photo advanced paper for a perfect print.
