TRANSPARENT GLITTER VINYL
Expressions Vinyl's adhesive transparent glitter vinyl has a high-gloss, glitter finish, and is very similar to our regular Glitter Vinyl. Being slightly transparent, yet intensely vibrant and full of sparkle, this 3-mil. calendared film has a solvent-based, permanent adhesive that will adhere safely and securely on virtually any clean, flat surface. It can be used indoors or outdoors, but really looks amazing on any clear/glass surface where the light will shine through, amplifying the bright color on the outside while exposing a shimmery, silver color on the inside. This creates an amazing visual effect. As with the regular glitter vinyl, this too is waterproof and weather resistant. Transparent glitter vinyl is available in 13 colors and 2 different sizes.

HOW TO APPLY:
- Clean your surface- The first thing you will want to do is make sure the surface that you are planning on applying the vinyl to is clean and dry. The smoother your surface the easier it will be to transfer your vinyl onto, but rougher surfaces like wood, textured walls, etc. will still work.
- Cut your design- You can cut your design by hand or use a craft cutter. After your design is all cut, remove the excess vinyl from around your image/lettering (this is called weeding).
- Apply your transfer tape- This is the step that a lot of vinyl beginners are unaware of, and yet probably one of the most important in order to not have a stress meltdown when adhering your vinyl to your surface! Simply place your transfer tape over your vinyl, then take something flat and hard (i.e. credit card, scraper, popsicle stick, etc.) to smooth out any bubbles and to make sure it is securely fastened to the vinyl. Next you will carefully pull off the backing paper from the vinyl being careful to make sure that the vinyl has transferred to your tape.
- Adhere design to new surface- With your surface prepared (step 1) you are ready to align your image. Carefully position it onto your project; once you have it in place, firmly press down and use your scraper to smooth out any bubbles. Always make sure to start from the center and work out towards the edges, this will press out any bubbles instead of pushing them in. Once you have your vinyl securely adhered to your surface, take one corner of your transfer tape and slowly pull downwards at an angle. Run your scraper (credit card, etc.) over the vinyl once applied to get out any remaining bubbles and help secure it to the surface.
