Applying vinyl to glass (or other non-porous surfaces like tile) can be especially hard to avoid getting bubbles under the vinyl.

How to Keep Track of Orders for Small Business (Silhouette or Cricut)

If you have found yourself "organizing" orders on sticky notes or a notebook it may be time to get a little more organized and streamlined with a free order management "software" for small business.

Many Silhouette crafters did not intend to sell their items when they started out with their Silhouette CAMEO...but inevitably a friend, neighbor, or friend of a friend asks "Can I buy one from you?" And you have yourself a small business almost overnight with no way for order tracking.

One order is easy to remember or jot down on a notepad, but take it from someone who was in that position six years ago and now has a handful of employees..it's not the way to scale.  You need an ordering system for small business. Also take it from me..it's FAR easier to implement an order management system from the start and the Google Suite tools - all free - make it easy to do.
