Diy Ford emblem

[Gjkrisa]

Has anyone made there own decals?
My wife just got a cricut air $150 at Joan's for making shirts but they cut vinyl 8 want to put on clear red then black vinyl over that the plan is to wrap all the chrome in red vynl so doing it this way would be best to get it all color matched.
Thank you.

I've thought about buying someone else's vynl then taking a picture of that to edit it
But I don't want to wait for it to get mailed and no one has the Ford cut out .
I've measured the rear width 5 9/16th  been assuming height would convert well with just getting the right width but guess I need to find height also.

If I get this right I'm willing to sale stickers here at cost.
Or at least first 50

Subscribed for updates. I was thinking about having some custom emblems 3D printed, but I was struggling with how to create the clear dome effect. If the vinyl works, I may try that route if it doesn't distort the lettering.

Yes I got the lettering perfect finally but the oval doesn't fill now trying a different file format the size I finally got right was 5.375 x 2.125 (5 3/8 x 2 1/8)
Well the svg file didn't work so I'm going to need to put two images together

Front is 5 x 2 that makes things way easier working on separating the red takes some patients.

Well this is what I got don't mind the bubbles I just threw it on quick thinking it would look like crap anyways in person the red is a little washed out then that should of turned hdr off might try again with a hairdryer to get the red to lay flat and stretch it out some.
Also going to go-to a local vynl store to see if they have a red I'd like I bought that on eBay ment for the rear view mirrors till I decided I'd like to get all the chrome that color.

Pretty good!

Thank you I would like it to be better to be able to sell it but this will work for me I might be able to cut the two together so that I will not need to stretch the red

I could have just used foil wrap to make it easier and may even look nicer

Just got done making the front and steering wheel label
Tomorrow going to plastidip the front chrome because I don't have time to take it off and wrap it also think having that much chrome show will be ugly
