Overall:
I learned how to create and put decals on something. Also I learned how to engrave/ cut out a key chain. In the future, if I ever go into a job that need these skills it will help me learn faster. I am glad I learned these skills, also, the vinyl cutter is very satisfying when you peel off the printer paper.
