(Aka Heat Transfer Vinyl or Iron-On Vinyl)
How to get great results on your Cricut projects everytime with iron-on vinyl!
***
You’re excited for your wedding (congratulations on your engagement by the way) and decided to get hands-on. You’ve run out and bought a Cricut (congrats on that too! Soooo wish I’d had mine back when I got married!). It’s sitting in your spare room, all pretty and new, with endless possibilities and potential. Your mind is brimming with ideas for all the beautiful things you’re going to make for your wedding…but how do you actually use it?
Some things are simple, straightforward, even intuitive, but there is also a definite learning curve with Cricut. Not everything is super obvious – but don’t worry, that’s ok. Knowing that a lot of people start out with Cricut for their weddings, we got to creating a whole stack of Cricut tutorials demonstrating step-by-step how to create basically anything you can think of for your wedding (we’ll also take video requests if you can’t find what you’re looking for!). You can find that YouTube playlist right here by the way!
And whilst there’s already that wealth of information ready and waiting for you on our YouTube channel, we thought we’d specifically create a video to round up some of the essential and nuanced tips for a certain genre of Cricut crafts – working with iron-on vinyl (also known as Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)) – to help get you going quickly with your chosen project. These are the big, and small, things I learnt along the way that really make all the difference to the success or failure of an iron-on Cricut project. Let’s jump you to the top of that learning curve…
We hope these 10 tips give you the confidence to try out that iron-on project you’ve been wanting to make, and that it comes out as well as you imagined. If you’ve got any follow up questions from today’s video, or if you’ve tried something and can’t work out where it’s going wrong, let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to help. Don’t forget, for more in-depth beginner Cricut content, using iron-on vinyl and beyond, you can find them all in one handy playlist over on YouTube.
