Weed the excess vinyl off leaving the design attached to the backing. Do not remove it from the mat.
Measure and cut a piece of transfer tape. Remove the backing and burnish it onto the cut vinyl.
Once the transfer tape has adhered to the vinyl, carefully peel the tape and the vinyl away from the backing.
Line the transfer tape up on your round. When you are happy with where it is positioned, make sure the sticky side of the tape is down and the design is right side up.
Press down the design firmly, using a burnishing tool to really rub the vinyl on.
Peel off the transfer tape slowly.
Add a bow and florals of your choosing to decorate the sign.
