I have used HTV Glitter on acrylic keychains lots of times. It works so much better then 651 vinyl, especially if your letters are small. Yours looks great too!

[@jacquelynwarren986]

And I usually put resin on top. So you get the glitter look but it's smooth.

[@DesignBundles]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing!

Have a great day!

[@dorothyh4985]

I was literally searching for this on KZbin the other day, thanks so much!

[@DesignBundles]

No problem! Glad we could help!

[@lilcutenena898]

I love that you made this video. I was just curious about this process and if it was possible. I would like to see this again with other htv materials as well. Thank you the video was super helpful.

[@DesignBundles]

Glad it was helpful! What types of materials would you like to see?

[@lilcutenena898]

@@DesignBundles holographic, regular, siser reflective would be a interesting one too. That's just a few I quickly could think of.

[@EJsDaughter]

Great tutorial! Yes, please show us if regular HTV will work. Thank you!

[@DesignBundles]

Will do!

[@mardellgrayhek9958]

I wonder how it feels on the surface...does it feel smoother than the adhesive? Yes another test on regular htv would be great.

[@DesignBundles]

You got it! It does feel a little smoother than the adhesive vinyl.

[@fatimarazon8407]

Definitely going to test it with some of my htv

[@DesignBundles]

Let us know how it turns out!

[@harbor33designs23]

Thanks so much for doing this! I was curious whether it would work and now I want to try it too.

[@spookado1]

Tried this about a year ago with white glitter htv an it worked.

[@DesignBundles]

That's great to hear!

[@lynnoverton7747]

That is so great. When I use the HD adhesive vinyl, I get bubbles in it. Tried everything and can't get the bubbles out. I would definitely like to see regular htv and the holographic. What temp and time in the Starcraft clamshell press?

[@DesignBundles]

I would keep the temperature the same and do about 10-15 seconds.

nice tutorial. thanks.

You're welcome!

[@allgenresofmusic8777]

What was the temperature used

[@lesliesimerlink4630]

I tried using just regular vinyl and the names came off, do you have to seal it and what kind of sealer would you use. With HTV vinyl would you have to seal that. I just started watching your videos and love your tutorials. Thank you

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Leslie! What type of vinyl did you use? It may have been that the writing was thin but we would suggest using a mod-podge sealant to help give your keychain a longer life! If you have any other questions, just ask! We are here to help!

[@lesliesimerlink4630]

@@DesignBundles it was cricut vinyl permanent. Thank you

[@pinknailsonlyy]

Wow good to know!

[@MarnieLynnCommon]

Are your blanks cast acrylic?

[@sallywallace8280]

Yes please. Both.

[@DesignBundles]

We will add it to our content list!

[@HiddenWitch890]

My acrylic keychains had a residue from the heat/sticky part of the vinyl. Do you know how to prevent that? I used heat resistant paper between the mini press and tiles so they wouldn't burn

[@DesignBundles]

Hi there! Could you tell us a bit about the process you did so we can better help troubleshoot? - Dawn

[@pglye4308]

What is the recommended thickness of the acrylic ?

[@nandemott]

This is great!! I ended up with residual glitter from the transfer tape on the acrylic keychain. How can I prevent that?

[@DesignBundles]

Hey there! Were you able to remove the glitter afterwards or did it apply to the keychain as well?

[@nandemott]

@@DesignBundles The excess glitter would not come off. It's still really pretty!

[@elainehodge1760]

How do you prevent the htv adhesive from seeping around the edges when applying to acrylic

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Elaine! When you are measuring, you want to make sure the design is slightly smaller than the keychain to keep it away from the edges. -Dawn

[@charlottearns2027]

Yes please do all the other vinyls thank you

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you Charlotte!

[@maeve4385]

Thank you

[@DesignBundles]

You're welcome !

[@jordonleblanc5905]

How long does it last before pulling? Or is it completely permanent?

[@DesignBundles]

It all depends or ware and tear. I have ones I made 3 years ago that have just lost some color

[@priscilladominiquepalma112]

Does it work with t-shirt htv's? ✨ Thanks for the video!

[@DesignBundles]

Yes it does!

[@priscilladominiquepalma112]

Thank you!

[@ritaurbina8281]

Glitter HTV is always a hot peel. On fabric anyway

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you, Rita! - Dawn

[@melodiedavis4391]

What about heating from the back to get to the adhesive?

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Melodie! My apologies, would you mind clarifying? While we placed the image on the front of the keychain, you can certainly apply it to the back if you prefer.

[@FierceFamily]

Why do all the videos start with the things already printed!!! That's the hardest part. That's what I need a video to show. NOTHING against you. Just frustrated. Even when you pick a design it's huge Spend over 100 bucks on thes subscription and I can't even get a circle cut for the correct size I need for the standard keychains.

[@vthom5379]

Totally agree

[@user-bi8ko7kc6h]

It’s very simple. Just use the shape function, in this case circle. Then make the words, adjust the size to fit in the shape.
