Paint your wood on all sides. A second coat may be necessary.

Add the svg file to Cricut Design Space, and resize to 4 ½ inches high.

Cut the file, one color at a time, or another method that may be easier for you. The “hello” and the “u” will be the same color, so you will need the largest piece of vinyl 5”x9” for this one.

Once your design is cut, weed out any excess vinyl, and trim to size if needed.

Once everything is trimmed, lay the design (starting with the “hello” and “u” out on the Cricut Mat, and line it up.

Remove the backing from transfer tape, and place transfer tape over your design.

Use the spatula or a thick card to rub the design into the transfer tape.

Remove the vinyl backing.

Place design (on transfer tape) centered on your piece of wood, and run design onto wood using the spatula or thick card.

Carefully peel up the transfer tape, making sure to press down any of your design that may want to come up.

Rub the spatula or thick card over your design again, if needed.

Spray the clear glaze over your project, using newspaper or something disposable to place under it. 

Allow glaze to dry, and add a second coat, if needed.
