So, just be cognizant of getting a strong start. This was the trickiest part, and I wish I had worked a little more slowly than I did because my adhesive got a little off track early on and wrinkled in places.

After your printed paper has dried, next, it’s time to apply an adhesive sheet over top of it. We have a regular inkjet printer, nothing fancy, and it printed really well! Just make sure your color ink cartridges are full, load your white printable tattoo sheet so it prints on the glossy side, and hit print. The kit comes with 4 sheets total: 2 printable tattoo sheets (white) and 2 adhesive sheets (green).

The registration marks ensure your machine knows where your images are that way, it can cut exactly where you want it to. Then, in the Registration Marks window, click “Show Reg Marks.” Lastly, make sure your designs are inside those registration marks. Before printing, make sure that you’ve identified your paper as letter-sized (that’s in the Page Tools window). Just select all of the shapes, go to Object, Transform, Flip Horizontally. It’s really important to mirror the image, so they look backwards when you print. I also used the offset tool to create cut lines just a smidgen outside the design. In general, I made my designs 1.5 – 2 inches, since they’d be worn on tiny hands and arms. I know my niece Cora loves chasing lizards, so I was sure to include a gecko in the mix. When I asked my sister-in-law Jodi what the boys were really into lately she said, “Anything that is a cold-hearted killer seems to be a favorite!” So, I was sure to include a dino, gator, and shark in their collection.

I even created tattoos for their siblings, Cora & Micah, that said, “Big Bro” and “Big Sis.”įor the rest of the designs, I used a combination of shapes I had purchased from the Silhouette store, free downloads, and free clip art files I traced. I decided to create some tattoos especially for Reagan and Jeremiah’s birthday, so I used my favorite frames font, KG Flavor and Frames, for the medal, and then the playful Willy Wonka font for the text. Create your designs in Silhouette Studio. So, stick with me, everyone! DIY Temporary Tattoos: A Silhouette Tutorial NOTE: And although this is a Silhouette tutorial, but you can totally complete this project handy-dandy scissors. I have some pretty fun photos of our adventures to share at the end, but first, I wanted to give you a run-down on how easy it was to create these tattoos. We met at Green Meadows Petting Farm in Kissimmee for pony rides, cow-milking, and duck-chasing. The occasion? Well, my niece Reagan and nephew Jeremiah enjoyed their birthdays earlier in the month, and this past Saturday, the whole family got together for a special celebration in their honor. Annnnnd, I just may have had some Silhouette Temporary Tattoo Paper just begging to be turned into some gifts for my favorite little ones. They’re 3, 4, and 5-years-old…but these are different times we’re living in people. My nieces and nephews entered into their tattoo phase a bit early.
