such a happy cheerful video
Just saw this today - it looks familiar. Love it.
LOL! Merry Christmas!!!
Hi there! I’m from australia and I am making personalised sacks and stockings for Christmas for my customers. Both the sacks and stockings are velvet and I’m wondering what your recommendations would be when using metallic htv? I did one for a customer but it bubbled. I used the cricut heat guide with my heat press. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for reaching out! Sorry but I don't have experience pressing onto velvet fabric. But I did find this video, I hope you find it helpful.

Great idea!
Thank you!
You're awesome thanks for sharing :-)
Awww thanks Brenda! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Can u buy those blankets and make that and sell it as ur own? Or would it be copyright since it’s betterhomes and gardens?
I think it would be OK, but I am honestly not 100% sure.
hi this is absolutely adorable!!! Can you tell me if the vinyl holds up well with washings???
Thank you. The vinyl holds up great. I made this blanket in 2018 and am still using.
@@KatieAdams I have never worked with anything like this I will look into the cricket and the vinyl do you think that’s the best way to start to learn more about how to do this on blankets? (I’ve only done reg quilting but I love this!! I like it better than monogramming or embroidery)
@@kyleejune1 The Cricut is definitely a great option.
What about polyester blanket that has the fuzzy on the other side . How would you do that??
I am not quite sure what you mean. this blanket has a low pile and it worked great. I wouldn't recommend using this method on blankets with a high pile, or long threads.
I am new to this process. I have watched a lot of videos; all different. How come you don't use a teflon sheet? Will the square mark around the design from the iron go away? TY
Hi Heidi! Yes, the square from the Easy Press does go away. The Metal base on the EasyPress is specially coated so you don't need the teflon sheet. I only use the sheet with the EasyPress if I am doing multiple colors or types of Iron-on, or if the fabric is super delicate.
I wanna design blankets and write motivational quotes on them and maybe sell them start my own business how would l do that?
That is a great idea! You could look at selling on Etsy.
@@KatieAdams ok thank you
Can you just throw it in the washer like normal or does it need to be delicate
Wash like normal and you shouldn't have any issues. I've been using mine for a couple years with regular washings and it is still in perfect condition. ❤️
Is there a certain thickness mm of vinyl that works best for the fluffier blankets?
All iron-on vinyl is the same thickness, as for the color it just depends on the look you are going for.
@@KatieAdams cool, good to know. I was slightly overwhelmed by all the different styles of vinyl etc… I’m nervous!! All I currently own is the Cricut Personal Cutter and the Cricut Easy Press 2.
@@jacqulynjohnson653 There is a lot to learn when it comes to cutting with Cricut but it is totally worth it! You've got this! ❤
@@KatieAdams thank you for the encouragement!! I just did a “play sample” and though it’s only a square that I rounded the corners, on some fleece, it worked!! Thank you again!
@@jacqulynjohnson653 Great job!
What would you recommend if my velvet is burning from my Heat press? Should I add something in between to iron on velvet?
It may be that your press is too hot. But also yes, you can try a cover sheet to help. You can use a Teflon sheet, or butcher paper to help protect the fabric.
I just started working with this kind of stuff, what kind of vinyl would I use with this? Sorry dumb question.
Not a dumb question at all Heather! For fabric, you want to use Iron-on vinyl. It is also called heat transfer vinyl but it is the same as iron-on.
I have a heat press with a handle so how long would I need to hold it down for? Also, will HTV work on this blanket or does it have to be another kind? Sorry, I'm new to all of this.
Hi Linda! No reason to apologize, that is why I am here! Yes, any heat transfer vinyl should work. Although the Cricut brand is my favorite! :) You would heat press for 30 seconds, and slowly peel. If the HTV doesn't stick you can reapply the the heat.
Do a blanket collection
That is a great idea!
What paper would you suggest peels off the best for a baby blanket.... I know some brands have trouble peeling off.... Reply would be nice thanks
I love Cricut iron-on vinyl and have never had any issues with quality.
Can you do this without the press?
You will need a heat press of some sort. You can use a clothing iron, but the Heat transfer vinyl won't stick as well.
Is it normal to have the letters wrinkle with polyester?
Yes, mine have wrinkled some as well with washing. totally normal.
So pretty! How do you avoid or remove the outline of the vinyl when you peel it off the blanket?
I am not quite sure what you mean. I don't remove the vinyl from the blanket. It stays on.
@@KatieAdams oh I mean the carrier sheet, I think 🤔 I'm new to htv. On the plush velvety pillow cover I made, after peeling off the carrier sheet u could see the border of where I ironed. I don't know if that makes sense 🤦🏻♀️
@@jf5316 Oh OK, yes that makes sense. You can either quickly press the areas around it so they look similar, or s yu use the blanket those press lines will fade, and you won't even see them anymo9re.
@@KatieAdams oh okay, I'll give it some time then. Thank u for replying!
Can I use an iron if I don’t have an easy press?
Yes, you can use an iron, but the project will last longer if pressed with a heat press.
Do you use the regular transfer paper? Or contact paper?
With iron-on there is no need to use transfer paper. The iron-on comes on a backing sheet so you remove the extra iron-on after the design is cut and then apply the iron-on.
Can you heat on velvet?
Great question! Yes, you can, but you do need to be careful not to melt the pile of the velvet. I found this great tutorial to walk you through - shopcraftables.com/blog/does-heat-transfer-vinyl-work-on-velvet/
Dose it have to be 100 cotton blankets
No, this blanket is 100% Polyester. Most fabrics work for heat transfer vinyl.
Omg, this is awesome, how do I get my personal message on the vinyl?
Thank you Karen!! You design the text in design software. I used Cricut Design Space.
Thanks!!!
Do you know if it work on a fleece blanket?
Yes, it should work on fleece just fine. The shaggier the fabric the less likely it is to work. I don't think it would work on sherpa. Thanks Abisai!
Is this still holding up? I'm hoping to make similar blankets for my sisters but am worried I need to use a flocked vinyl instead of the regular iron on
Yes, it is still holing up wonderfully! I made this blanket 2 years ago and am still using it, and it has been washed several times!
@@KatieAdams awesome! So many people say the regular HTV looks bad on plush blankets and I was worried
@@mafq53 I used the foil HTV but it continues to look great!
Which blanket iz this?
This is a $10 blanket from walmart
What type of vinyl did you use?
I used Cricut Gold Foil Iron-on. It worked great!
what is the font called?
I used the Cricut font Babette
How long did it last? Did it start to peel?
Would this work for clothing like after multiple washes
@@SummerBridges143 I have been using this blanket for a couple of years and it has not peeled at all.
Clothing can be different because they are usually washed much more frequently. But washing inside out at the right temperatures can really help with the longevity of the iron-on. A professional heat press also helps with longevity. You don't want to iron-on with a laundry room iron.
