Thanks for sharing info, I'm a disable Vet and this is something that does not take a lot of physical labor. Your videos are inspiring and I like the fact that you give back and are helping others with your story, I love it!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have just been making tee shirts using heat transfer vinyl for about 8 months. I don't have a Cameo, but I do have a Cricut. After watching your videos, you have motivated me to experiment with the decals. Because of a his video, I know at least how to charge.
Really thankful for your channel. Very informative, and it's great to know the things you use are consistent and repetitive. You guys really steered me in the right direction when deciding which product was right for me.
BOOM!!!! Doing some early morning (BUSINESS) self development Thanks once again for your teaching and enthusiasm!! Love your spirt and dedication to those who watch you... YOU my man ROCK!!!
Hey, just got my Silhouette Cameo 3 for Xmas and I love it, and just finished watching this video. Well made presentation, dig the shade pulls and hand swipes, lol!! I did notice many questions about the price of the window decals, and though I haven't delved into your sales webinars and such as yet so I don't know if you've already gone over this there, but maybe you could mention that at an event where parents are already shelling out for their kids sports, the fact that you, or anyone with a cutter, is THERE and can make a personalized decal THERE and they didn't have to order online and wait 3 weeks because you were right THERE makes all the difference and they'll gladly fork over a higher price. Location and circumstance are important for people to pay more. Carry on!
I've always wondered how to make decals and get into the business, but never knew how to find out. I'm shopping for a cutter and you just gave me a second reason to get a Cameo. Thanks!
You start this now at 17 you'd be very well off in no time. To top it off read books on selling and people skills. Google HTWFAIP and The Sandler RULES, two very good books to get you started. There wasn't a better for this before, now with tech, you can have very low inventory and made to order easy.
So, I noticed you didn't use a cutting mat. Is the cutting mat not necessary when cutting vinyl since it has a backer sheet on it or certain materials? Btw, I wish I could give you video 100 thumbs up! Great job!!!!!
Were are you getting your application tape and vinyl in such large rolls? And I need application tape that isn't the strong tack and vinyl that is movable. Do you know what that's called and where I would get it? Thanks
The link for the sign vynil is not working properly. I think this video is just what I was looking for to make some side money. I hope I can make this work for me. Thank you for all the information.
I literally just started my vinyl biz adventure today. Jumping in head first. I am sure you already answered this, but I have been scrolling through the comments and haven't seen it yet. What vinyl type, brand, and vendor do you recommend for car decals?
Hello, We recommend FDC Sign Vinyl and the R Transfer Taper, found here: www.therhinestoneworld.com/Main-Category/Sign--AND--Decal-Materials/Subcategory-1/FDC-Sign-Vinyl TRW, Grant
Dennis, This video should walk you through the process. We have many more videos on cutting your first decal as well. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. Matt
For application on smooth surface such as a bicycle we would recommend using sign vinyl which you can find here: www.therhinestoneworld.com/FDC-Intermediate-4200-Sign-Vinyl-12_c_1857.html Let us know if you have any questions, thanks for watching! -TRW Bobbi

Oh i'm making stencils for myself and need to be able to not tear up my base art work as I apply and remove each stencil and transfer tape application. I'm having trouble mainly with the transfer tape being far too strong and pulling the previous layer of paint away. Thanks
@@TheRhinestoneWorld Thanks, I'm not a business proper yet, just getting started on this adventure. I make pour paint art and am superimposing images onto my finished paintings before sealing them with epoxy resin. So I will call these people and see if they sell like one roll at a time. I sure hope so cause right now the standard is stretching my painting with just the one layer, I'm afraid if I do multiple layers it will destroy the painting completely. I'm really sorry to hear you don't carry it. You might want to consider having a few rolls in stock for people like myself? :) thanks
Is there a difference between FDC vinyl and oracle 651? Especially when making car decals? I love how you break everything down so simple and easy to follow.
Thank you for posting this video. My wife and I have been looking for a way to make some extra money in our spare time and possibly creating a full time business. Your video has given me new hope for a possible, easy to start, business.
Great video! Instructions very clear and organized. Will those machines carve stencils as small as firearm serial numbers? What I'm looking for is a way to cut about the size of a #12 font in aerial. Thanks!
Holy shit $500 for 100 5" decals? You can go anywhere and get 100 made for $100 or less. Shit you can basically get printed vinyl stickers for ~$100 in that size and quantity.
Matt, I just made 200 decals for a customer and we have found the transfer paper is not picking up the decal. We have tried everyone’s suggestions and I have contacted the company I bought it from and they are of no help. What should I do?
I have tried 2 different transfer tapes so far. One was too sticky and didn't release very well when applying, the other doesn't seem to be sticky enough, and sometimes has trouble picking up off of paper.
Thanks for your response. I think I'll include a simple instruction sheet with decals aimed at people who haven applied them before. Everyone has to start somewhere. Great videos. Keep up the good work!
1. Clean Window 2. Peel sticker from paper. 3. Apply one side making sure they are straight and apply in one motion. 4. Peel tape from window slowly from 1 side making sure decal sticks to window. 5. If decals doesn't stick to window lay it back down and use a credit card to put pressure across the decal. 5. Peel transfer tape from window slowly from one side. 6. Enjoy.
I've just bought a Scan n Cut CM250, but haven't set it up yet. Will this be easy to do in the Scan n Cut Canvas program, or is there an easier program to use for vinyl and rhinestones? Thanks
Sandy, It's a personal preference! For scraps, you definitely want to use the mat. Some people feel more confident when using a mat as well! TRW Alexis
I was going to buy a Cricut Explore 2 but now I see this ...have you used a Cricut and upgraded to a Cameo 3 ..just trying to figure out which one I should buy!
We prefer the Cameo over Cricut in a couple different ways. Silhouette Studio is the design software that comes with the Cameo and seems to be a bit more user friendly when it comes to designing and creating rhinestone designs. Cricut is a great cutter but the Cameo has enabled us to do more for our business. If you have any questions you can email us at info@therhinestoneworld.com or call us at (941) 755-1696. - TRW Bobbi
@@TheRhinestoneWorld thank you so very much for your help..I ended up buying a Cricut Explore 2 on the weekend before I saw this..oh well I'll give it a try!
keep in mind etsy is typically people selling pre-made stickers of a specific design that they've made 50 of at a time so that's similar to him doing the bulk order pricing. also you have to pay shipping, wait for shipping and it's not a person to person interaction like this doing it for local teams, businesses and on the spot as well, plus building a relationship with companies and customers keeps them coming to you and keeping you as the first call instead of heading straight to the web to find it. relationship-relationship-relationship!!! do good work and stand by your brand and people will continue to support you. plus the margins are so good you can get more customers ordering 100 pc orders at even less, $3/$4 each and still make good money depending on the cost to cut, weed, apply transfer tape etc. the more bulk order repeat orders you can get, the better you can stay busy with a semi steady cash flow coming in I have an entry level cutter I just got that"s a bit more involved than the smaller cutters but I'm excited to get the money coming in and getting more customers as well. good luck!!
What vinyl cutting software are you using. I am venturing into this part of the industry? I have been selling promotional items, but I am tired of loosing money to those that do this type of work. On the Cameo vinyl cutter you are using what is the size of paper you are using. I bought one used and its old. I will only take about a 10" wide vinyl for cutting. I am loosing money with the excess that is lost.
Thankyou for the motivation. I live in a very small town in South-Africa. Used my Cameo for scrap booking but now the crave is over and I don't use it. This opens a whole new door for me....hopefully! And can do with the extra income.
I bought 100 decals for like $142 online, who is paying $455 for the same 100? wow, get in where you fit in I guess...how much that machine cost again?
They are paying this price because each one is custom for their child or sport. The 100 you bought online were the same decal 100 times i'm sure correct?
Thanks for sharing info, I'm a disable Vet and this is something that does not take a lot of physical labor. Your videos are inspiring and I like the fact that you give back and are helping others with your story, I love it!

Does the software you were using come with the Cameo 3? Is it free with the purchase or is there a monthly fee to use? Thanks.
Officer Paw Patrol, That was the Designer Edition Upgrade to the studio software that comes with it.
Thanks for the quick reply. I noticed your website links were down. Is your business still operational?

Matt, Have you used a Brother Scan N Cut DX? Would it translate? Thanks.
WhimZpix, Yes! You would just need to create your own Text in your software. Matt
Great video thanks. Do you supply an instruction sheet with the decal to ensure the customer can apply it correctly?
Hello!
We currently do not supply an instruction sheet. It is more of a sticker that you just peal off and apply it to a window. - TRW Aaron
Thanks for your response. I think I'll include a simple instruction sheet with decals aimed at people who haven applied them before. Everyone has to start somewhere. Great videos. Keep up the good work!

Where do you get the $0.07 vinyl price? I always get confuse when pricing
he buys a BIG Roll, and out of that roll he only needs a little piece, hence the 0.07
How do you make multiple color car decals?
