Chevron Cell Phone Charger Wrap (Free Silhouette Studio Cut File)

It's Friday and I hope, by now, you all know what that means at Silhouette School!

Yup, another Freebie Friday where I give you a free Silhouette .Studio cut file just for being awesome and loyal readers.

This week I've got a very useful file for you. At least it's come in very handy for me!

If you're like us, with a house full of electronics someone is bound to snag your charger. So last year I made everyone monogram labels for their laptops, cell phone chargers, computer charges, you name it! This year I'm extending the line, (oh I sound soooo official ha) and have created a cell phone charger wrap.

Lucky for all of you, I'm giving it to you for free. 

Just add a single letter monogram or a circle monogram inside to personalize it even further and then  it on vinyl and apply with transfer tape or paper. 

As always, all free .studio cut files on Silhouette School are for personal use only - they can't be sold or used on a product that's sold.  Please don't let me find these for sale on Etsy or elsewhere...

10 Best Silhouette Troubleshooting Tips

Not surprisingly the large majority of Silhouette questions I get from beginners - and experienced users -  are about troubleshooting either Silhouette Studio or the Silhouette cutting machines.

15 Silhouette Accessories You Need (and Want) to Get Started

I'm often asked "What else do I need to get started with my Silhouette CAMEO or Portrait?" The answer isn't always easy...because it kind of depends on what material type you'd like to focus on to start.

My suggestion is to pick one material: vinyl, paper, heat transfer vinyl, fabric, or sketch pens and learn the basics before moving on. But in order to do the basics you need a few accessories to get started (unless you purchased a Silhouette CAMEO Bundle that has what you need to get started out of the box)....and there's a difference between what you need and what you will want to add on later on!

How to Connect Text in Silhouette Studio

It's that time of the year when there are lots of Silhouette beginners and one of the questions I get a lot from those just getting started in Silhouette Studio is how to connect text.


Connecting, or welding, text in Silhouette Studio is important, especially with script fonts, so the letters are cut as a single word instead of overlapping letters that cut into each other.

High Volume Custom Transfers as an HTV Alternative

I see this all the time in the Silhouette CAMEO groups - someone says they have a huge order for a school, a sports team, or family reunion - and they're tempted to turn down the job because it's just too big.

Cutting a hundred or more identical heat transfer vinyl designs is not only expensive, but time and labor intensive. That's where custom heat transfers can become a great alternative.
