There will be times when you lift paint when you remove vinyl from a sign. In this tutorial jen creates three custom wooden signs with her cricut machine. Make and place the lettering use a cricut machine to cut print out your vinyl letters. Yes cricut vinyl will stick to stained wood but there is one tip that may make your project a bit easier.

You essentially have 3 choices for creating letting for your custom wood sign using your cricut. I used craft paint on mine i used old pallet wood cut the one end to a point. Once the board is clean and dry snap a chalk line to ensure your letter placement is straight. Your vinyl will stick better and stay on longer.

As other have said i don t know how well it will hold up to the elements. Seal with a waterbased polycrylic then wait 24 hours. Then make sure the board you plan to place the letters on is very clean and dry otherwise the vinyl letters will not stick. The material that you use for your lettering is 100 up to you.

Then after you are done i would use a clear coat meant for outdoor use. Use a weeding tool to remove the vinyl from the inner part of the letters. Stain can leave an oily residue that will make your vinyl lift from the surface. It depends on the look and style you want for your wood signs.

Removing the vinyl the opposite direction of the wood grain helps to avoid unwanted paint from lifting. Next we need to tackle stained wood. If you are going to glue vinyl letters use e6000.
