Rather than blowing with the hair dryer, I carefully placed parchment paper on top of the vinyl, heated my iron to med high heat and ironed the parchment. It adhered the vinyl perfectly and I didn't have to worry about blowing the vinyl up and out of place. It worked great!
Why would you need to seal this and if so with what? I’m doing research to make one for me and I’m seeing a lot of people mention sealing it! Thank you so much and this video was definitely helpful!
Do you have a tutorial on how to create the template from the silhouette? I just purchased one instead of the cricut and I’m new to this. Want to make a few for my family
I generally use contact paper which sticks pretty well ... but have never tried heat to seal it down. Have you ever used heat on just plain contact paper? Would that melt it down as well?
i HAVE NOW WASTED 2 12X24 SHEETS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSFER TAPE STICKING TO HARD. I EVEN TRIED TO MAKE IT LESS STICKY. VERY VERY FRUSTRATED...... ANY SUGGESTIONS?
So since this seems to just be paint to top layer, I did not see back side, it does not show through apparently, so I would like to paint one side for Halloween, add a pumpkin etc., then other for Christmas put snowman or such. This would work>
Do you sell or make personalized mats for customers? I've been looking everywhere for a mat that specific words, but can't find it anywhere. Please LMK. Thanks.
LOL! I would have to put tape or something to cover the ENTIRE mat! that would be me messing up on a much larger scale. Great job by the way. It turned out great!
I have ideas for some custom car work now. Do you have to cut out each stencil by hand? What was the material you used for the stencil and where did you buy it from?
Vanessa Marie You can use any material you’d like! There’s a ton of different ways people do them... it’s all about finding what works best for you. I personally use card stock and cheap straight pins 😊 Try a couple different materials, and have fun creating!!
@Momera It all depends on the design I’m doing. If it’s a generic design that I’ll use over and over, I make it a reusable stencil (Cardstock with transfer tape on top, or even Mylar stencil material). If it’s a personalized or one off design, I’ll use just straight Cardstock. In the 3 years I’ve been making them, I’ve had no mishaps! I hope this helps!
I think she mentioned she utilized her entire 12 in by 24 in cutting mat so it has to be that, or near that size. I would assume bigger is better on something like this.
I want/need one to say: Welcome Home The Welcome can be the fancy font and larger with a smaller all caps HOME below it. I'm under the gun and need it desperately. Can't find one.
I would not, you run a risk of the spray paint getting under the letters. When adding paint from a brush directly on top and not making strokes, just dab, you have better control where the paint is going
You kinda say kinda alot and it's kinda annoying. Still, I kinda saved your video to my playlist and I'm kinda happy to have found your video. You're kinda great at explaining things in detail. Thank you and keep going! Ppl wana shop with you! Kinda. 😁

You do this after you take the transfer tape off?
i know Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Jamison Benjamin lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Cason Ryder definitely, have been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Cason Ryder Thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!
This is the best technique by far. I'm so glad I found your tutorial. I was on my 3rd mat. 🙏 😊 Thanks
You could add a shape of some sort over the "mistake" (like a heart or something) and it would hide it completely!
This looks so much easier than the freezer paper
Loved your video. I think using the hair dryer is a big help in keeping the vinyl down. Thanks for the idea.
I would have just done a flower or something over the mistake paint!! :D
Some poke-a-dots would have been cute and fixed the oops
Keli Howard I was thinking the same thing! Could have made many more dots and it would have given a cool “sparkle” effect! Great minds think alike!
Polkadots 🤣
Can you use chalk ink couture
Try using wide painters tape around the parameter and you wont have to worry about spills.
Thank you for sharing!🤗

Great tips. One suggestion...sometimes I was unable to understand what you were saying. Please adjust the mic so your voice doesn't sound muffked.
Best gibberish for strangers.
Nice video!
Do you have a tutorial on how to create the template from the silhouette? I just purchased one instead of the cricut and I’m new to this. Want to make a few for my family
Good eye for detail lol....you'd be collecting your P45 after one job!
I generally use contact paper which sticks pretty well ... but have never tried heat to seal it down. Have you ever used heat on just plain contact paper? Would that melt it down as well?
Can you use it outside? Such as in weather conditions? Will it wash away the paint? Do I need to seal it
Hi what are the width height and thickness etc do you have a tutorial on creating it?
That looks great.
Does this work as an outdoor mat or an indoor mat only? Will it hold up against rain and snow?
How did you get the letters on the vinyl to begin with? Where is that step?
Can you please do a tutorial for the stencil?

Would this work with a more shaggy rug? Do you have any tips working with one?
Does anyone know if that paint she is using can be wiped off with your shoes being wet from the rain or anything
do you know if spray paint will work as well as the acrylic paint?
If you feel comfortable sharing,how much would you charge for this door mat?
How do you make the stencil?
How did she get that stencil design?

Etsy Shop: crinandjean
Just write a message :-)
Do you ship your products? if so how?
Htv vinyl is meant for heat transfer and fabrics, not 651.
So you printed on Vinyl, but whats the point of the transfer tape?
To keep the stencil straight when transferring it to the mat
LOL! I would have to put tape or something to cover the ENTIRE mat! that would be me messing up on a much larger scale. Great job by the way. It turned out great!
Great but fast forward a bit more.
Leave it alone. Less is good. Looks great. Incorporate the smudge. It's cute!
Lovely. I want the stencil.
This would be a great how to...if you showed us how to cut out your stencil. 🤷 Thanks.
I have ideas for some custom car work now. Do you have to cut out each stencil by hand? What was the material you used for the stencil and where did you buy it from?
Christo S I used my cricut machine, I’m thinking she did the same it cuts the words for you, you just have to buy the Oracle paper 651
Can this also be done by cutting cardstock paper on the cricut and taping it? I would think it wouldn't move around so much?
I would think the paint would get under the cardstock and also saturate it.
What font is this 💙
where do you get the mat from?
You can get from craft store or hardware
She said Ikea on her blog.
Do you use the stencil over again?
More then likely not. The stencil isn't hard enough
What do you sell you custom mats for?
May I ask why the doormats require permanent vinyl versus some other material, considering it is basically being used as a stencil? :)
Vanessa Marie You can use any material you’d like! There’s a ton of different ways people do them... it’s all about finding what works best for you. I personally use card stock and cheap straight pins 😊 Try a couple different materials, and have fun creating!!
@@mbrewster19 Can you reuse it or is that a one time use? And do you find that it causes a lot of mishaps?
@Momera It all depends on the design I’m doing. If it’s a generic design that I’ll use over and over, I make it a reusable stencil (Cardstock with transfer tape on top, or even Mylar stencil material). If it’s a personalized or one off design, I’ll use just straight Cardstock.

@@mbrewster19 Thank you so much for replying! That's very helpful :)
She said it works/last better in the video
Does the 651 stick better to the mat than 813 oracal? I couldn’t get the 813 to stick
neither really "stick". I have used both, but truthfully I prefer the 813. I did not make this video, just giving my opinion.
Nice tfs
What size did you make the stencil on the computer?
I think she mentioned she utilized her entire 12 in by 24 in cutting mat so it has to be that, or near that size. I would assume bigger is better on something like this.
I would have made a little design out of that spot. Also did you seal it? If so with what?
She mentioned that she doesn't seal her mats.
If you were going to seal it, what would you use? Also, does this ever fade or when it is walked on, etc.
thats what i was thinking. i think it might be better use a oil paint
What Cricut model do you have?
I would’ve just added polka dots 😂
I want/need one to say: Welcome Home
The Welcome can be the fancy font and larger with a smaller all caps HOME below it.
I'm under the gun and need it desperately. Can't find one.
Do you have a cutting machine (Cricut or Silhouette)? You can cut that out of vinyl and make it yourself if you do, they're not very expensive :)
Looks great but hell on my OCD lol..
😄😄😄😄😄
Where do you purchase your mats from? Thank you!
she has a list of what you need and where she purchased supplies, under her description of the video. Just click "show more"
Can get at hardware store and some craft stores
She said IKEA
How long did this mat last?
She said another mat she made like this has lasted 6 months and only now starting to fade.
I would just add polka dots to fix the error.
Would’ve been helpful to learn how to make the stencil, felt like I came in half way thru the project, so just shut it off.
Just design on your favorite design place, I cut my stuff on my Cricuit Explore 2. Once it's printed you 'weed' the pieces you don't want on your mat.
Do you prefer cricut or silhouette
Can you order a doormat from you? With the text: (first line) it's not much (second line) but it's home?
Looks like this lady isn't answering any of the questions asked. I would sell you one but I am behind on my orders
Can you use spray paint plz xx
I would not, you run a risk of the spray paint getting under the letters. When adding paint from a brush directly on top and not making strokes, just dab, you have better control where the paint is going
What do you call the mat?
You could’ve put an ! Where you had the boo boo
WHAT TYPE OF PAINT?
Tori Rodgers I’m assuming acrylic
She said outdoor paint, but didn't mention brand or anything
You kinda say kinda alot and it's kinda annoying. Still, I kinda saved your video to my playlist and I'm kinda happy to have found your video. You're kinda great at explaining things in detail. Thank you and keep going! Ppl wana shop with you! Kinda. 😁
What font is the hello?
Kinda looks like magnolia sky
should i mirror the image????
Nope.
😂😂😂
Umm I'm not a guy, may I watch too?
Oh God...this video is so looong!!! Boring!!!
