How I came up with my idea
At my house I have a yeti cooler that me and my family like to put stickers and decals onto it. So I thought I would put something cool onto the cooler. I thought about the Navy since my grandpa was in the Navy. I thought of boats and ships. But I could only find images with 2 colors. Then I found this really cool plane. It was three colors and would work perfectly. That was what I would be using. I then loaded up my design onto the vinyl cutter and cut it out. Placing down the decal was a nightmare but it came out in the in end.
Sketches
This is what I pictured my idea to look like when it was finished.
First I loaded the vinyl into the machine
Make sure that you have the wheels lined up with the blue tape.
loading my design into the software
Then I had my different parts
I forgot to take a picture of this but I fit the pieces together like puzzle pieces.
Then I applied the Decal onto my Yeti
What I learned
I learned how to use the vinyl cutter and cut my decal. The vinyl cutter is a really cool machine as vinyl can be used to make custom tea shirts. The software can be a little tricky, you don't want to waste vinyl. Altogether the vinyl machine is one of the most affordable machines in the innovation center and it is really cool.
