Vinyl Cutting
You can see the final results of my vinyl cutting in the cool little laptop sticker in the image above!
This was definitely not the first attempt, below are some pictures of not so perfect stickers of the globe.
In the first attempt above, the weeding of the excess vinyl bits seemed very tricky. It was also particularly challenging to seperate the pieces when there are many sharp corners. I wasn't able to remove Greenland above either... so I tried again
I resized the png to make it easier to handle, however I somehow managed to mess up the orientation.
Third time's the charm! The practice of weeding and transferring the stickers helped make it easier. My laptop looks so much cooler now!
