Did you ever wonder how they do those vinyl stickers so nicely, especially the ones with cut out letters in them? I finally got a chance to use the hooky thingy (aka Universal Hook) that I bought to use with my Silhouette machine on a labeling project that I've been also wanting to do for a long time....there's a lot I've been wanting to do for a long time.... Anyhoo, so I thought I would do a short tute on how they do it.

- To begin, cut out your stickers with your cutting machine.
- Take some masking tape and gently apply it on top of your vinyl sticker. You don't want the masking tape to completely cover your label. Make sure you can still see the top and bottom so that you can align it easily to what you are labeling.
- Position your sticker on and rub the sticker until that sucker sticker is on there for good.
- Gently peel from top to bottom/side to side, depends on your cut out but always take it slow since you don't want to tear the insides.
- Now get your hooky thingy and start picking at the letters to peel them off. Be careful if you're peeling against plastic or anything that can be scratched easily.
- And there you have it! Wasn't that easy?

*** I'm thinking you can probably use a toothpick or those dentist thingys? Will have to try it out and let you know how it goes...
