Making key chains with cameo circuit



So I have loads of blank key chains and wanted to create something with the cameo circuit.
The problem is that key chains printable area, is around 1.5 inches and when cutting really small letters things can go to the wrong turn. Small letters drop out, and tried slowing speed, 2 passes, and yet still small letters drop out when peeling the vinyl.

I tried making them without any borders, leave the transparent background as it is, these are the results

I like them both, the lip one came great and was done on both sides love it.








My name one, came cool, but seems empty, and these is on sticker on background which makes the letters mirrored in the back...not neat big error. Love the idea but not great result as I imagined. You have to try to have great results, the more you make the more items will become perfect and well.








This one is the last one I made, it has 3 layers, two wording and white vinyl in the middle. Result is more full effect, nicer and brighter look.
Be careful when attaching the words, to center them correctly as it is a struggle on transparent background. Always remember to cut, one mirrored and one normal and layer them on top each other carefully. Also keep in mind that using tools on key chains can scratch it so it is a delicate process to make things perfect. Need to make it neater but the more I make the better they will be ;)
