Let me start to say THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so new to using my cameo 5 never had a cutting machine and just want to have fun to do some projects and don't need more than basic edition. So MASSIVE Thank you for this!
Thank you so much! My computer did not want to save any DXF files, but I could use convertio and make a SVG into DXF that way! This have saved me sooo much time and wondering. Because somehow, beyond my knowledge I have managed to make a SVG my silhouette have accepted earlier trough incscape. But I never remember how, it just takes maaany attempts and a lot of time. Today, after knowing about the file Silhouette accepts it takes so much less time! I can enjoy it now! 😁 You have ended my suffering! 🤭
Thank you! My company recently decided tonuse the safe bustelo coffee containers and give me the empty ones for my plants! This is perfect 👌
Thank you! I hardly ever use my machine so I didn't want to upgrade!
THANK YOU
If you pull the drawer right out you can flatten it. Loved the video, thank you for all the great tips. <3
After you've removed the label from your tub, take either a scissor ( I have a Fiskars) or a utility knife and scrape the remnants of the foil seal from the rim. It will make a mess, so be prepared for that. Also, try to keep the blade at a negative angle, so that it does not dig into the plastic. Switch off scraping the inner edge, the top surface and the outer edge so that you don't dramatically alter the lip (in case you need a good seal for your use. With a little practice, you'll figure out what works and what doesn't. Also, those of you who have a Cricut can use it to cut new 110mm seals from cereal box cardboard. Cut them to exactly 109mm if you can. My daughter does mine for me and they work great. I have repurposed dozens (if not hundreds) of these containers for use in our food cupboard and in my garage.
Sometimes I just cover the old label with a few pieces of decorative origami paper.
Do the overcut settings stay for all future projects?
I just wish this was shown in a closeup video. Thank you for sharing this.
Great video! Where did you get your tweezers, and light pad?
Since I had this question may as well post it. At least for the glue on my milk containers, the water needs to be a temperature of 160F for it to work. my first test failed. (was the water not hot enough, cooled off too fast, etc. I don't know) It also only took 10 minutes before I checked to see if it would peel off. Though I am not doing this for crafts, but with the majority of plastic does not get recycled due to its contaminated. i.e. they cannot melt the plastic with paper labels on them. So those are sent to the land fill.
I found that the best results I got were to put water a little under boiling into the container. If I let it get too hot then the plastic melted. I put some tap water (as hot as it can get) into the container. Usually a couple of cups of hot water. Then microwave another 4 cups until just below boiling and add that to the two cups or so in the container from the tap. Then let it sit for about 10 mins and peel the label with a small scraper. Follow that with Goo-B-Gone and a folded up paper towel. I love that I can make "free" containers and up-cycle the nut containers I get when I buy nuts.
@@TheSVGBlog I looked up the melting points for plastic in general since I am not exactly looking for a particular container. Although looking at the chart again. I misread it. I thought the temperatures were in Fahrenheit but they are in Celsius. So 160F is well below the melting point and can easily go higher. Even boiling water would appear not to melt the container. Although I was talking to a friend last night and they said that pressure messes with freezing and boiling points. Not sure how this list will display in the comments. MATERIAL MELT TEMPERATURE RANGE (℃) ABS - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene 190-270 ABS/Polycarbonate ALLOY 245-265 ACETAL 180-210 ACRYLIC 220-250 CAB 170-240 HDPE 210-270 LDPE 180-240 NYLON 6 230-290 NYLON 6 (30% GF) 250-290 NYLON 6/6 270-300 NYLON 6/6 (33% GF) 280-300 NYLON 11 220-250 NYLON 12 190-200 PEEK 350-390 POLYCARBONATE 280-320 POLYESTER PBT 240-275 PET (SEMI-CRYSTALLINE) 260-280 PET (AMORPHOUS) 260-280 POLYPROPYLENE (COPOLYMER) 200-280 POLYPROPYLENE (HOMOPOLYMER) 200-280 POLYPROPYLENE (30% TALC-FILLED) 240-290 POLYPROPYLENE (30% GF) 250-290 POLYSTYRENE 170-280 POLYSTYRENE (30% GF) 250-290 PVC P 170-190 PVC U 160-210 SAN 200-260 SAN (30% GF) 250-270 TPE 260-320
@@ericbaer9089 Since reading your comment I decided to try boiling water in a peanut container. It melted the plastic. So there is a definite limit on how hot to make the water. It melts the glue which is great but it also melts the plastic container so... not good.
@@TheSVGBlog that is good to know. Now I am wondering how accurate that list is. What Number of plastic was the peanut container? Was it a 1? which is polyethylene terephthalate” (PET or PETE) which I guess would have a melting point of 260-280 from that list assuming it was accurate. #2 high density polyethylene HDPE #3 Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) #4 low density polyethylene LDPE #5 Polypropylene, or PP #6 Polystyrene (PS) #7 miscellaneous catch all for the rest
@@TheSVGBlog I am wondering if their melting temps correspond to when the plastic is so malleable i.e liquid or nearly liquid that it can be molded as opposed to slightly being deformed. which enough to deform it is too hot for your purpose.
After a long time looking at videos trying to figure out how to do it n thanks to you I got it. It waz so easy and fast 😊
Most welcome 😊
That is a lot of work to remove the labels. It is very simple to remove them. All you have to do is use a good paper towel with alcohol. place the towel where the label is and let it soak the label. After a minute you can start rubbing the label.
Is BRUSHKITE still working? how to use it?
No. It seems like they have gone out of business. I did chat with one of their ex employees and he is working on a similar project now. I will update as soon as I hear they are ready to roll or at least beta test.
I had to rub it on twice. First time I used a paper towel, then rinsed it off in soapy water but shipping label residue was still there. 2nd time I used rubber gloves and it worked perfectly. After rinsing in hot soapy water no sign of the label residue. Thanks again
Thank you so much!! I’m currently not in the position to upgrade and this saved me so much trouble!
Thank you Hollie! I’ll try this on a shipping label that was stuck onto a protractor’s plastic cover and shipped to me via Amazon. I guess I should be happy Amazon are cutting down on packaging.
Is there any way to warp words in design space?
I'm glad I ran across this video.
Excellent teacher and video!
Thanks for the video. I just went from pulling my hair out to Heck yeah! Cad-cut soft foam
Glad I could help! Good for you!
Thank you!
Thank you!!!! This was on the nose with what I needed to know. I'm a newbie and want to cut files I bought for myself.🙌🙌
Then you will love my new venture. A full community for learning creating and business. I will be launching soon. Blog, forums, courses. Stay tuned!!! ~~Holly
Hi Holly, when I get to my "save as" dxf file, it gives me 2 choices. The first one is "desktop cutting plotter (Auto cad DXF R12 (*dxf) the second option is "desktop cutting plotter (Auto cad DXF R14 (*dxf). I have a Shiloutte Cameo 3 if that makes any difference. I don't know which one to pick, can you help me?
Hi For Cameo you need DXF if you sent have Designer edition. I would try them both. I have not seen that. If you upgrade to business edition, you can save toSVG. The upgrade isn't very expensive and if you are going to do alot of designing it will save you heartaches. Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay I was out of town no Internet. 8-/ ~~Holly
I'm a newbee & enjoyed this tutorial so much. Very clear & precise instruction. Do you have other tutorials on using a Cameo 4, as that's what I recently bought?
Yes I do! They are here and I will be doing more. Thank you for your kind comments! ~~Holly
Thank you- SO helpful!
Omg thank so much for this!!
I make packaging mock-ups with a Cricut Maker before and I use Illustrator to create my dielines with two layers separated as cut and another, score which I then save it as a .svg with the two layer included. In Cricut's Design space, I just import my .svg file with the cut and score layers and just easily have Design Space determine which layer is which and just cut and score my dielines. I was thinking of trying the Cameo 4 which has a 24" version but I was wondering if I can have cut and score from a .dxf file into free the Silhouette Studio Basic edition like I can in Cricut, or will I be required to upgrade to a paid version in order to use one feature I needed?
I believe you can bring in dxf. The score feature is different in cameo software. It is dashed lines. I can check to see if the import will work. ~~Holly
One more thing. You will need the business edition to export to SVG from silhouette studio software. That is a pod upgrade. Does the help?
@@hollypike6363 is the paid version of the software a one time fee and can I use the code or license on multiple computers and devices without any issues?
One time payment. I have it on computer and the app on iPad. As far as several computers. Great question... I do not know since I have only one. 8-)
thanks a lot....you save me
This was amazing information!
Did you do anything after clicking Save as or just click it then close out the materials panel?
Not sure what your question is… but after I save, I then save a second time as SVG. I can save an SVG because I use the Business Edition. Hope that helps. After saving you can open a new space to work in.
You are so amazing and a life saver!!!! You def deserve more subscribers!!!
You need at least designer edition to bring in svg files. Go to business edition. Many more features.
You had the perfect answer I was looking for! 😊 thank you
Great video very well explained, thank you 😊
Hi Hollie, I enjoyed your video very much. It's amazing how baking soda and oil removes label residue so easily. I have a Pink Floyd Poster, which unfortunately I rolled up with the picture outwards, and put a rubberband on. The rubberband perished and left residue on the poster. Do you know how to remove it please? Many Thanks Sarah 😊
How do you deal with the aluminum foil that is attached to the inside jar lid top. Thanks
It just peeled off for me... ~~Holly
@@TheSVGBlog Thanks for getting in touch with me. I am having hard time with the foil. I know this is ultrasonic welded onto the plastic. But just enough to make it tough for removal. Any idea's would be helpful. Peace vf

I just tried this and it still wants to save the SVG file as a SVG instead of DXF form inkskape!! Help!!
You need to choose SVG from the drop down menu when saving.
Its ur new friend Eddie Quinones

I live in a van. I have a 1 burner propane heater for cooking, and a sink in the shop I rent. You have no idea how extravagant that kitchen looks. Love the U counter, it looks like a huge work area to me.
We used to be full time Rvers. SO I understand limited space.
Heat the glue up perfect im trying rn
Thanks Good Luck!
Thx very helpful I love reusing containers and now that I know how to take the labels off I can reuse a lot more thanks so much!!
