Open: TACO AND BEER MENU'S DESIGN SPACE FILEResize the files to whatever size you need them for your board and amend the menu to what your'e serving! Set your machine in the top right hand corner and then hit 'MAKE IT'!Review the cutting file and adjust the material size to what cutting mat's you'll be using.

After your designs are cut, then go ahead and weed the excess vinyl from around your design.Once everything is weeded, then apply Transfer Tape to your designs. Use your fingers or a scraping tool to make sure your vinyl design is adhered to the transfer tape well. When you're ready to apply the design, remove the paper backing paper and place your design. I chose to apply the design in two parts -- first the words and second the images.
TACO + BEER T-SHIRT
To make it, open:Taco + Beer Design Space FileWhen making the t-shirts, you're going to use Iron-On (HTV) in whatever color works with the t-shirt you bought! To make the shirt, use the same step-by-step instructions as I explained for the Taco and Beer Menu Signs.
The only difference is that you need to set set your material as Iron-On and then you'll use an EasyPress 2 - 9x9 (or whatever you have) to apply the Iron On onto the t-shirt! Make sure and use the Cricut EasyPress Heat Guide to determine the heat and time need for your shirt material!
BEERS AND CHEERS NAPKIN
Open the Cheers and Beers Design for Accessories Design Space File. When making the napkins, I used Iron-On (HTV) in Black! To make them, use the same step-by-step instructions as I explained for the Taco and Beer Menu Signs. The only difference is that you need to set set your material as Iron-On and then you'll use an EasyPress Mini (or whatever you have) to apply the Iron On onto the napkin!
Make sure and use the Cricut EasyPress Heat Guide to determine the heat and time! I did these designs on the LOW setting on my EasyPress Mini for 30 seconds with a Cold Peel.
CUSTOMIZED TACO TRAY
I ended up ordering these brown food trays to serve the tacos in! To theme them I wanted to add a little vinyl in the tray! I used the same Design Space file that I used for the napkins, but sized them to fit in the trays!
Cheers and Beers Design for Accessories Design Space FileWhen making the taco trays, I used Removable Premium Vinyl in Navy Blue! To make them, use the same step-by-step instructions as I explained for the Taco and Beer Menu Signs. But, set your material to Removable Premium Vinyl and DO NOT mirror your design.After you cut the vinyl, using your Weeding Tool to weed the excess vinyl from around the design and apply Transfer Tape over the vinyl words. Use your fingers to make sure the design is adhered to the transfer tape good and apply the words to the brown serving trays!
