I don't have a mini press. I guess I can use my heat press that I use for t-shirts right?

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

Hi! You could try using a larger heat press, but I don't recommend using one that you can't constantly move around. If you just use a traditional heat press that is stationary during the heating process, you will likely burn the wood.

[@lummers12dub]

@@CraftingaLovelyLife 😔 thanks for replying

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Awesome tutorial. I do have a Mini Press but it’s not Cricut. Would you happen to know what the Temp is on the Med Setting? On mine I’m seeing it’s 302*F. Would that be hot enough? Plus I am using 143 Vinyl. Thanks

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

Thank you! The Cricut website says to use the medium setting with most base materials or heat-transfer materials that transfer between 300°F (150°C) - 355°F (180°C). So I think yours should be hot enough. If you notice that the vinyl isn't wanting to stay down then I would just try bumping up the temp, but be careful not to overheat any one area.

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

@@CraftingaLovelyLife Your Very Welcome. Thanks for reply and I will take that in consideration. I am new to all this so it is definitely valuable! I really appreciate you. And I’ll let you know how it turns out. Can I send you pics through here? Thanks Again Sweetie. 😊

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Can I also ask another question… why can’t you seal first then apply HTV? Will it not adhere? Thanks.

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

@@jamesbarlowjr.3762 sure thing! It's not recommended to heat most of the products that you would use as a sealant (flammable, etc). You are also correct in that you would likely not be able to get the HTV to adhere once a sealant is applied.

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

@@CraftingaLovelyLife Thank You. Just wasn’t sure what the difference was or is. You would think if it adheres to stained wood, that it would be fine for sealed or smoothed surfaces. And you should be able to seal your piece once the HTV applied? Thanks for all your responses. I appreciate it. I’m still learning. So bare with me. 😊

[@Melaninbeauty88]

Do you have a tutorial on how you made the bow?

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

I purchased this bow already made from a craft store. I do have a tutorial where I show how to make a bow if that would be helpful. The bow portion is at 4 minutes and 25 seconds into the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGrOc2dvYpx_abM

[@missy856]

Should I seal this with Mod Podge?

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

I don't recommend sealing with Mod Podge as it typically leaves streaks on whatever you are sealing. If you are going to have this outside and exposed to the elements, I recommend using a thin coat of polycrylic after you have applied the iron-on vinyl. If it wont be outside then you shouldn't need to seal it.

[@kathyb-007]

HI. I was wondering if I can use an iron instead? Thanks.

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

Hi! I have not tried using an iron on heat transfer vinyl with wood. In theory, it should work. You would just want to make sure that it doesn't get too hot and that you move the iron around constantly so that no one area gets too much heat.
