I went out and brought myself a griddle at Walmart as soon as I saw your video, I been waiting all day for your video.

[@DesignBundles]

Lol let us know how it works for you! - Dawn

[@darlenekrisak2962]

So I just had to share that I did not have a griddle but I carefully flipped over my Cricut Easy Press and held the transfer on top and it totally cured the transfer powder beautifully - just like a hand held griddle - lol. I was also successful with a heat gun. Thank you for the inspiration❤️

[@DesignBundles]

that is amazing thank you so much for sharing you are a rockstar - CrystalAnn

[@peggybouillon9737]

I found out from a friend that it doesn’t have to be cured and it works beautifully. So happy!

[@marjoriecramer9102]

Just tried this idea. OMG!!!! I am so impressed with how the colors just popped. thanks

[@elainelee8374]

Such anticipation! Crystal does a great job on these tutorials.

[@amypennington5216]

I agree she is awesome! Love watching her.

[@donnaintexas4406]

No dry shampoo here...I just get busy and wash my hair every 4th or 5th day. Depends if I've used a lot of hair spray. LOVE this video!! I'm a newbie and need all the help I can get...72 and still learning new things! Thank you for all your hard work...

[@rayhoughton8046]

Forget pissing about with a griddle, use a heat gun. Takes about 25 seconds and job done. Also use standard print mode with -31 to get rid of those roller marks. Game changer

[@cherryfischer3795]

What are you setting to -31? I get roller lines on mine and still working on the settings to get rid of them.

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

OMG!!! I can't wait for this!! Looks very exciting!!!

[@316DesignsLLC]

Thank you for this video on using a griddle to cure DTF powder! It works amazingly well!

[@tommytran5895]

You saved me so much money until I can buy an actual dtf but this hack might be the best one yet lol thank you!!!

[@christiner7644]

Omgosh what an awsesome hack !! Super great tutorial as always I am going out to get me a griddle I love this, way faster than my heat press I so appreciate all these super cool hacks you find and videos Thank You 3-4 lol I uauslly get design ideas from your tutorials they are always the cutest from there I'll scroll through both sections freebies & the plus credit ones I always check out the bundles I love fonts but they are harder for me to pick the right ones that go together

[@lyndabryant7390]

I enjoy watching you every time although I do dtf and sell my transfers! Love the griddle idea! Keep blessing us!

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you so much Lynda ❤️ - CrystalAnn

[@cherryfischer3795]

Thank you!! This worked amazing!! I set mine up in the garage and opened the door. I think my print was cured in less than a minute. Now if I can only figure out how to avoid roller lines.

[@wendydavis996]

Love watching your videos. Deciding whether or not to start DTF crafting. Regardless, there are still lots of hints learned for crafting through your tutorials! Thank you! Keep them coming! And yes on the ink jet printing!

[@laurenragle5228]

This is such an amazing hack! All my friends are talking about DTF so I was looking into it and trying to figure out how to cure the powder. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤

[@denisehall8757]

I'm definitely going to try this hack! Thanks!!

Can't wait to try this! And my favorite thing from design bundles is the dollar deals😊🎉

[@createchalktasticallywithj3559]

So, super great video. About your hair. I wash mine once a week. I already have dry skin so I don't produce a lot of oil. For dry shampoos, I've tried so many and I will continue to recommend the one by Philosophy. It comes in four scents. I bought mine through QVC a long time ago and a couple of my friends say they can only find a couple scents. Either way, the scent dissipates after a while. It's the result that is so AMAZING. There is ZERO "white stuff" and after you brush it through your hair just feels freshly washed. It feels light and clean again. I've just tried the one by Kerastase and that one still didn't give results close to Philosophy. I'm telling you... You've got to try it. ❤

[@marinetakropke5002]

Love your tutorials! Dry shapmoon - I use it once a week. Some weeks I wash my hair once a week, but mostly twice a week. I use Batiste Dry Shampoo Plus 6.73oz Beautiful Brunette and I cover my gray roots in between hair dyeing.

Yay!! That's awesome and your so welcome ❤️ - CrystalAnn

[@terriefoster6637]

Wash my hair usually about once a week and no dry shampoo but I have extremely curly hair and very dry anyway so the more I wash it the more dry it gets. Love this hack and I must try now, thanks for sharing

[@kimthomas3399]

This is an awesome hack. I tried with the parchment paper that was folded and it took longer to melt because part of the pattern wasn't laying on the heat. Had to use something to push it down so FYI make sure your parchment paper is flat on your griddle.

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you for the tip Kim - CrystalAnn

[@ieashadesignedit8]

Wow! I will be sure to give this a try. I have a griddle but I use it to cook on...will have to buy a new one for this. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.

[@tamarahakala8101]

Love this video. I'm looking forward to trying dtf. I'm an every other day, weekends can be an extra day off.

[@rebajackson1077]

OMG!! I love this, using the griddle for curing the design. Im going to tell my sisters about this and we are going to try it. I love watching your videos. Thanks for the great “Hacks”.

Great hack. Like the desktop vacuum and prefer the ‘Bundles’ option when ordering SVG / sublimation files.

[@opengodsword]

The griddle worked amazingly! Thank you.

[@Sorrynotsorry47]

I've been on the fence, leaning closer to not getting a sublimation printer, but this is truly a game changer!! As for single or bundles, I prefer bundles, hands down! Thank you for all your extremely helpful videos!!❤❤❤

I can actually rock my hair for about 7-10 days before I need dry shampoo but when I need it I use the batiste overnight dry shampoo. It smells amazing, doesn't leave a white haze in ur hair and u don't necessarily have to use it at night

[@anaelygonzalez5584]

Thank you for your amazing DTF hack videos, I tried the white HTV one, and it worked perfectly. I am excited to try this one, I have a griddle that I never use, so now I have a use for it.

[@Ebonye-xr4bn]

I have been awaiting this video and you did not disappoint!!! I definitely will be heading out to grab me a griddle! Thank you for all that you do and for sharing such awesome videos with us

[@shirleycook1608]

Love this, and love your enthusiasm it’s very catchy

[@Mboek105]

I can’t wait to try this. My heat press doesn’t heat from the bottom and didn’t melt the dtf powder well. I am hopeful I can pull out my old griddle and give it a try. Thanks

[@kokoliscious1]

This works

[@Mboek105]

@@kokoliscious1 it works amazing

[@sassyTK41517]

I haven't tried making DTF at home but enjoy watching your videos testing different options for sublimation. DB/FB was my 1st design/font site go-to when diving into the crafting world; so many great options to choose from!! As for your question about dry shampoo...I've purchased some in the past but not a fan as I don't like how it feels. I used to wash my hair every morning but now it's just 1-2 times a week. It all depends on how often you use styling products, quality of water and, sad to say, hormones. Children & menopause have changed my hair from board-straight & thin to thicker & wavy. I still rinse my hair each morning while showering unless it's just a ponytail kind-of day. You are beautiful all the time!!! ❤‍🔥

[@neicytaylor]

This is AMAZING! I'm a fan.

[@elizabethm4618]

Love the hack. I wonder if anyone has tried using a laser printer? As for TEMU, I was told by customer service that it was TEA MOO, but then I've heard others say they asked Cust Serv and got a different pronunciation. lol. Thanks for the video!

[@lyndahollins2881]

I have ordered mine from Amazon, can't wait for it. I only have the 9x9 cricut press.

[@KellyCrotteau]

Ever try using a disposable foil pan to do the dtf powder in?

[@sherrimiller4908]

Yes, I have one with a lid from dollar store, I use both to go back and forth as I put my powder on before curing my prints.

[@Christy-cj2vr]

Yassss!! This is genius!! I just the usually do hack and just hover my heat press... But when you're on a roll those few minutes waiting for it to cure seems like for EVERRRRR.. but THIS I can't wait to try ❤

[@dorajane1955]

You do an absolutely fabulous job!!!😊❤

[@chriswheeler5150]

If you get some dtf rip software on your computer you can add a white layer onto the prints for dark shirts

[@debbiepowers8197]

Hi, another way to cure it in less than a minute is if you have an oven that you use for tumblers, you can put down a silicon mat and place the image on the mat, set the oven to like 250 let it heat up, and in about a minute the adhesive is melted :)

[@jenniferwalbush3708]

I went out and bought a griddle at Walmart. I tried doing exactly as told, I believe it was 375 degrees for 1 min. Unfortunately, the transfer sheet started to melt! I'm going to try it again at a lower temp, and hopefully this works!

[@DesignBundles]

Did you try putting a piece of parchment paper or a Teflon sheet on. I wonder if the griddle temp is to high and not reading correct

[@FreelahFree]

The same exact thing happened to me. I brought the temp down to 310!

[@pennysmith2125]

Crystal, I was watching your video on to use the ink jet printer with the DTF Transfers & the powder; I have the ink jet printer that loads in the back, instead of the ones that load from the bottom. Would I have to use paper & tape method to do the one hack that you have shown before!

[@vidablue66]

Thanks Crystal love your video's

[@elegantlyexpressed7522]

Love the tutorial - excellent for storing or shipping designs! ~every 4 days, never tried dry shampoo (though sometimes wish I had it! Lol). Love bundles!

[@vivianfigueroa9827]

I tried using the grill (just bought one) however it melts and bends my DTF paper. I'm using Yamation Transfer film. I put it at the degree you said but definitely it bubbles it up. I bought the grill on your link from walmart.

[@roxysworldofd.i.y3676]

Thanks for always making such great content

[@angiekoehne7201]

Never have tried dry shampoo. I prefer to wash every 2nd or third day. Love the back too.

[@janmoran2106]

If you cover the griddle and wash it can it be used for food? Thanks for the great video. I love your excitment!

[@xoxobitten]

No, because when the powder melts, the fumes become toxic.

[@janmoran2106]

@@xoxobitten Kind of thought that. I appreciate your help.

[@DesignBundles]

Hi there! I wouldn't use it for food after it's been used for crafting just to be safe! - Dawn

[@nancyeaguiar]

I’ve been doing that for a while but with my easy press. Lay the design down and watch it cure in seconds. I like the griddle idea… bigger surface and I don’t have to hold it in the air😅

[@soniar3051]

You always have amazing tutorials. You make the steps easy to follow. I have a question.... When you did the pocket square you centered on the paper. My question is could you cut the paper in half instead of using the whole sheet? The reason for the question is because you're taping to the other sheet when you print it. I wasn't sure if it's because it can cause a paper jam.

[@wileycovington4497]

This hack is pretty nifty.

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you I'm glad you like it - CrystalAnn

[@simplelifeofsusan]

This was awesome! I will try my griddle now for sure! I never thought to offer my designs on my site! I’m wondering if I should put a disclaimer that I’m not using an actual DTF printer or simply state light colors only…

[@xoxobitten]

I suggest you do put a disclaimer when selling just so the buyers won't try to get a refund because of it.

[@tegancheney1627]

How cool is DTF!!!!!!

[@sheilacampbell2609]

Thanks for a GREAT video !

[@lynxlady5355]

I couldn't tell if you were placing the printed/powdered film on the griddle face up or face down on the parchment paper. Please clarify that step. Thank you.

[@brendaleecreation6767]

I notice that on your software you chose polyester. Is the shirt polyester or cotton. I would like to see it done on dark garments. Great video. I have everything except powder and film. I will definitely try it.

[@9OClockRant]

I saw a video where a person uses a putting knife that sits on the griddle and it allows him to flatten and seal polyethylene wrapping paper for packaging without glue or tape.

There are so many uses for a griddle! I'd love to hear all the ways people are using them other than for food 😆- Dawn

[@grannyicu1458]

Hi I lover your videos they are so to the point but I was wondering if you can you use transfer powder and a DTF film to heat press images on coffee cups

[@1crafter2another]

A few thoughts 1) is this dtf different from uv dtf? 2) with this hack, after heating the transfer on the griddle, instead of applying to a shirt, can transfer tape be applied and the design transferred to a nontextile item? 3) if so, is it waterproof?

[@annettevogt4176]

Love watching your videos and your scientific experiments. Do you have a hack to use DTF powder and infusible ink sheets? I do not have a sublimation printer and looking for a hack with what I have...lots of infusible ink sheets. Thanks

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you so much I haven't thought about that we would need to find something to get the ink wet enough to hold the powder then I wonder if it would release off the backing? I will look into this - CrystalAnn

[@shannonhallum]

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️Question.....If using an Inkjet printer, can we use the griddle to cure aswell? or how do we cure it If only have cricuit press not overhead just hover over for a certain amount of time?

[@pamgde]

Thank for your video, it’s awesome, the best I’ve seem on dtf hacks. What is the best tape to use?

[@lisashelby917]

Hello, love your video and you! Great ideas as always. Question: do you have to use htv sheets for black or dark fabrics for dtf?

[@tinamccaskill981]

How did it do in the wash? Do you pre-treat the tshirt at all before pressing?

[@TheMomdoodle]

I pronounce it TEE-MYU Really want to try this I wash my hair every 2-3 days but no dry shampoo. But I live in a very dry climate. (West Texas)

[@JanieHarris]

This method works for smaller film sizes, but if using A3 or A3+ size film be aware that there may be spots on the griddle that will not melt the powder. Rhis is due ro how rhe heating element is placed in the griddle.

[@nullage]

Hey, have you ever tried the DTF white backing ink with Sublimation Inks for the other colors? Was just curious how its come out. The DTF inks look so thick to me, but of course, to print on black and cotton you need the DTF white, but was thinking using Sublimation Ink for the other colors might cut down on the thick look. Was just looking to have the look more closer to sublimation where the ink looks more like part of the material instead of looking like something that's just sitting on top of the material.

[@Crystalnachi]

I tried this and it was not working for me but that may be I was using another brand of powder and film. I also was wondering if you have a tutorial on settings for a converted Epson EcoTank printer. I have heard that you should use specific settings so that the ink will not smear. The third shirt seemed to work a bit better with pressing on the front and back of the shirt more times than one. I only have the Cricut Easy Press at this time but am working on getting a heat press. I did a cold peel on two shirts and one semi cool. That one turned out the worse...lol.

[@DesignBundles]

It could be the powder for use I highly recommend the ones I'm using

Hello all I’m wondering if it’s possible to cure on ASub paper wanted to see what y’all think before I purchase the griddle. Love all your videos thank you for your upbeat vibes.

[@DesignBundles]

I don't think it would work I think the adhesive would just stick to the paper -CrystalAnn

[@angelinahernandez9907]

Ok thank you CrystalAnn then I should just let the heat press hover over the image, I’m trying to use one of the other great hacks you showed to sublimate on 100% cotton so that’s why I was asking if the griddle would work for the ASub paper I’ll stick to the hover over to cure the image thank you for your help and taking the time to answer very new to this or maybe I’m trying to use one to may hacks for one shirt 😂with all your hacks it’s hard to just choose one ❤

[@ssshhhur2loud37]

Thank you for all your helpful videos. I have a question regarding temps. Since I have an easy press do I use the same temp as someone with an auto heat press?
