DON'T RUIN YOUR PROJECT! How To Iron On Cricut Vinyl With Regular Irons for Beginners

[@RyanGuthrie0]

It was so hard to find a video just telling me how to use a household iron instead of a sales pitch for the ez press. Thank you for this!!

[@KimByers]

You're so very welcome and I'm glad it was helpful! 💕

[@arieltortoiise]

YES.

[@katarh]

Thank you! My husband got me a Cricut Maker for my birthday.....aaaaaaaand I only have a regular iron. I was wondering how to protect the pattern, and parchment paper is the answer! Awesome!

[@KimByers]

So glad it was helpful and thanks so much for crafting with me. Enjoy your Cricut! ❤️

[@rebeccaroussil818]

Thank you SO much for this video! So hard to find without the Cricut Press 😮

[@KimByers]

So glad it was helpful Rebecca 🩷

[@cdmanor777]

OMG! A humongous Thank you for sharing. I'm going to iron on for the first time, and you answered every question I had in mind. Thank you

[@KimByers]

So glad I could help Carolyn! And I hope your project turns out great! Happy crafting! 💕

Kim I also only have a household iron that I use for all my HTV projects. One great tip that I just learned from your tutorial is to consult Cricut heat guide even though I'm not using a heat press. I use HTV for all types of material, even cardstock for amazing cards, wood, and glass. I have never had a problem with the HTV sticking. I made t-shirts over 3 years ago using HTV and my household iron and the HTV still looks fabulous today. That you for the tips.

[@KimByers]

Thanks so much for watching Debi! I've never thought about HTV on glass. Wow! Happy crafting! 💕

[@lilianapadilla8610]

Thank you so much. I don't have the heat press yet, maybe in the future. Gonna try with a regular iron for now.

[@KimByers]

Thanks so much for watching Liliana! 💕

[@BeingFibroMom]

Thank you for your help! We didn't know if we want to invest in a heat press yet, so this is a great way for us to get started.

[@KimByers]

So glad it helped! And if you do decide to purchase a heat press, you might want to watch my review of the HTVRont AutoPress before you invest in any of the bigger machines: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paKZeYSFnZumfLMsi=xM3g8aVlpXsjMnbN Thank so much for watching and happy crafting! 💕

@@KimByers oh, great! Thank you!

[@tobby8561]

Hello so just quick throw in do be carful you can over do it with the heat I sadly just figured that out thankfully I had a back up :D

[@KimByers]

So so true. Go easy with the heat especially because with irons we're just guessing. :)

[@justise5621]

Ty u so much for this video!! I want to make my granddaughter some shirts

[@cooper_collects]

[@huntercravener4639]

Your channel deserves so much more support and subs👏👏

[@KimByers]

Thank you so much for the kind note Hunter! 😀💕

[@lhuuna]

Hi have only a min travel iron at home and I will not be able to cover the whole print at once. Do you have any recommendation for this specific case?

[@KimByers]

Hey there! That is a tough one. It can be done, but full heat coverage is always best. I would probably measure the size of my iron face and measure out how many presses it would take to cover the entire design. You could use a piece of parchment to map out the area to make sure that you cover all the sections and don't overlap too much. Unfortunately since you can't get to 360-400 degrees with your iron, you may have to press the areas twice. I would just be patient and test each section as I went to see if there is adhesion. Best of luck and I hope it turns out great!! Thanks for crafting with me! 🩷

Hi Kim - thank you! Great video. Does it matter what transfer tape I use? Thanks

[@KimByers]

Hey Leslie! Your HTV or Iron-On comes with the transfer sheet/liner attached. The separate transfer sheet/tape that you can purchase is for regular vinyl that doesn't require heat (put on mailboxes, glass, wood, etc.). That said, there are a few HTV pattern brands that you can purchase that come with a separate liner that you apply, but those are rare.

[@3.0colorado21]

Thanks. You confirmed that I did everything wrong 😂 which is why I ruined my first attempt😂

[@KimByers]

It’s ok! How do you think I knew what to tell you not to do! 😂❤️ Thank you crafting with me!

[@3.0colorado21]

@ by showing me the correct way, you confirmed that what I did before watching your video was wrong. I always get impatient and gung-ho and end up researching my mistakes instead of preparing ahead and researching before.

[@martina7299]

HI! what app did you use?

[@KimByers]

Hey Martina! If you mean for the temps, I used the Cricut temp app. You can also find it online by searching Cricut Temperature Guide. Thanks for crafting with me!

Check your sound....it is bad.

[@mizzourita3896]

Check your attitude... it's bad. This woman made a free video with instructions on how to do something that I didn't know how to do. Her sound is a bit echoey but it's better than being too quiet, I can hear her loud and clear and it takes a lot more time to make a video than people think, this 6 minute video probably took her a couple hours from start to finish

[@KimByers]

You are very sweet. Thank you for taking up for me. And sadly she's right. I need to get a new mic and a sound board.🩷 I hope you have a lovely Christmas! Thank you for crafting with me!

[@mizzourita3896]

@@KimByers Her comment just irked me because she could have said what she needed to say in a more polite way, I watched your video and got exactly what I needed from it so I didn't see anything wrong with it and it really does take a lot of time to make a video so I wanted you to know that it was appreciated, thank you and have a Merry Christmas!

[@kristabaird6141]

I meant no disrespect I just wasn't sure you realized the sound had problems. I actually meant it with all kindness to help you out.

[@KimByers]

@mizzourita3896 Merry Christmas to you too!! And thank you 💕
