Information

      This is a shirt I made my child for black history month, but the steps can be applied to any image you would like to create. This was inspired by similar works on the internet.

Instruction

Step1: Download Free coloring book page

Preview

1st I found a free coloring book page using google. I then opened it in paint and erased all the parts I did not want. I then saved it as a PNG.

Step2: Import and edit in XCS

Preview

I then imported the image into XCS where I removed the white spaces, created an outline @ 0.00 and deleted the original image.

After that, I added the words, inverted the image, and cut the vinyl using the default blade settings in XCS making sure the vinyl was on the BLUE adhesive matt

Step3: Weed

Be prepared, weeding is a PAIN! I recommend purchasing some weeding tools off amazon.

Step4: Press

Press and finish. I did 310F for 15 Sec. Be careful of the letter centers while peeling, it took me a few tries to keep the letters on. As you can see, I messed up the A at the end.
