How to Make a Multi Color Layered Vinyl Monogram
Materials for Vinyl Decal:
No need to keep your monograms all one color - you can create multi-color vinyl monogram decals by layering vinyl. 
This mandala design from the Mandala Bundle - and also sold here individually - is perfect. Download the design, unzip, and bring it into your software program. This tutorial will show you how to open SVG designs into Silhouette Studio and this tutorial will walk you through opening SVG designs in Cricut Design Space. Use the basic drawing tools in your software to create two boxes about the monogram design. These are vinyl registration marks to help with layering vinyl. Cut the boxes with each color vinyl piece. 
Weed all of the vinyl pieces. Use a single piece of transfer tape - large enough to cover the largest piece of vinyl. Pick up the top most layer of vinyl first. Be sure to pick up the registration marks as well as the vinyl monogram design. Line up the registration marks on the next layer of adhesive vinyl and pick up that piece of vinyl on the same piece of transfer tape. Repeat until all vinyl has been picked up to create your multi color vinyl monogram. This layering vinyl video tutorial will show you how this is done and if you need more tips or a step by step tutorial, read the How to Layer Vinyl for Beginners tutorial on Silhouette School.
