If you are a crafter, these team spirit temporary tattoos are so fun to make and are a great DIY Craft Project. You can easily print and cut these with your home printer and use your Silhouette Electronic Craft Cutter or Cricut electronic cutting machine. We will give you a few tips on how to make these temporary tattoos and where to find the tattoo paper.

DIY Craft Project – Team Spirit Temporary Tattoos

These DIY temporary tattoos make a fun craft project and a great way to show your team spirit with this cool, Silhouette Temporary Tattoo Paper. We chose a fun varsity inspired font for this shoulder tattoo and used our team’s colors for this fun, DIY Craft Project. In the second photo, we used a baseball-inspired font to make these cool temporary tattoos. These tattoos are printed on your home printer and then you can use either a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutting Machine or a Cricut Machine to print and cut your designs.

Supplies for DIY Temporary Tattoos

  1. Silhouette Temporary Tattoo Paper
  2. A Home Printer
  3. Silhouette Cameo or Cricut Machine

First, open your cutting machine software and set your document up for 8.5×11 and design for “Print and Cut” within your Silhouette Studio Software or Cricut Design Space, only placing the images within the space allowed for print and cut.

Then mirror your tattoo images, in the software (as if you are looking at the text or image in a mirror).

Place the Silhouette Tattoo Paper in your home printer, printing on the glossy side and print from your software.

Apply the protective sheet onto the printed sheet of tattoos to protect the tattoos as they go through the cutting machine, removing any bubbles. Then follow the directions from your cutting machine to cut the printed image. Be sure you have the cut settings to cut around the image’s outer edge or contour. You don’t want to cut the inside of the tattoo. If you are using a Silhouette, there is a cut setting for temporary tattoo paper in the software. If you are using a Cricut, the posterboard setting works best.
