Stars are a popular Christmas decor motif, so it feels like moons should be, too.

Weeding Tools
Transfer Tape
Ornament Blanks
Ribbon (for hanging)

Notes about Supplies:

Glitter Vinyl: My biggest piece of advice is NOT to use it. It was difficult to transfer over, and I ended up placing it more like a sticker than a vinyl decal with transfer tape. It didn’t stick to the transfer tape.

Use metallic vinyl instead. It’s much easier to work with.

If you do use glitter vinyl, hold it up to the light to see where to weed. Keep your design really simple and apply it like a sticker.

Ornament Blanks: I left my ornament blanks unpainted because I like the contrast of the wood with the vinyl. You can paint the blanks if you want. Just use craft paint.

Upload and cut the vinyl as usual. Be sure to attach the design to keep it in place.
Weed the designs.
Apply transfer tape and remove the vinyl from the backing.
Place the design on the ornament blanks.
Remove the transfer tape, smoothing the vinyl to make sure that it adheres to the ornaments.
Add a ribbon for hanging.
