Next, I applied my transfer tape so that I can peel off the backing and apply it to my makeup bag. It just hooks those little pieces and pulls them out without messing up your design. This is one tool I could not do without when working with vinyl. To get all the small pieces out from inside the letters I use the weeding tool from the Cricut Tools Basic Set. I usually just peel up a corner and start peeling back. Then peel the excess vinyl away from the letters or design you cut. Once that was loaded into my Cricut Explore Air machine I hit the flashing go button, and it cut out my design. Make sure to cut your vinyl to just a little larger than the design you are cutting so you don't waste any and can save the rest for another project. I use the light grip mat for most of my projects it is my favorite. I placed my glitter vinyl on to the Cricut Light Grip Mat.
Once my design was ready, I double checked the size on the screen and hit go to cut it. See the video at the bottom of this post to see just how that works. This image is just black and white, so I chose a simple image to remove all of the white backgrounds and make it transparent. Click on upload image and upload your image. Next, sign into Cricut Design Space and create a new project. Once I sized my design, I cropped it using the drag and drop cropping tool to get rid of the unnecessary space.

My make up bag was about 8 x 5 inches, so I put in 2400 x 1500. When selecting a size, you will put the number in pixels. When you pull up PicMonkey on your computer choose Design –> Custom Size. PicMonkey will allow you to use any font installed on your computer as well as any they have in their library.
