I ordered some fairy lights attached to cork from ebay and my sister saved me one of her gin bottles. This one had orange bands in the glass so I used orange vinyl to match I used a SVG of the animals in a row and then used the Walt Font for the text. This was all done in the Brother Canvas software. This was then sent to my Scan and Cut and cut out. I have then weeded all the bits I did not want to transfer to the bottle out. Then using transfer paper I transferred the vinyl to the bottle.
