What I used:

- Compost bin

- Removable vinyl

- Cricut

- Transfer tape

- Lysol wipe and paper towel

- Standardgrip mat

Steps I took:

I started by cleaning off the top of the compost bin with a Lysol wipe and drying it with a paper towel.

I cut out a trash bin design on the removable vinyl, which you can find on Cricut design space with this image ID: #M8944E3D.

I weeded the design and cut out my transfer tape to size. I peeled the backing off of the transfer paper, held each side firmly and placed it on top of the vinyl. I burnished (polish by rubbing, smooth/scrape) the vinyl onto the transfer tape with the scraper tool.

I then peeled the transfer tape up ensuring that all the vinyl was attached.

Next was placing the design onto the compost bin lid. I placed the transfer tape with the vinyl onto the lid in the spot that I wanted and burnished it. And I peeled up the transfer tape.
