Guess what?! You can make your own leather or vinyl tags! Let's get into it!

I needed a label for my Brooklyn by Swoon and so I pulled out some scraps & got to work!
I used vinyl, leather and canvas for the tags and HTV (heat transfer vinyl) for the words. Please note HTV is not the same as vinyl you use for sewing!
What I got!
HTV sheets:
a.co/d/21lrbSP
Glitter HTV sheets:
a.co/d/19iUoBz
My weeding set:
a.co/d/2UOKz9O
My machine, the Cricut Maker:
a.co/d/gr1xk5T
I have a HP ENVY Photo 7100 All-in-One Printer series (inkjet), but it's no longer available, here is a similiar one:

[@LuvLolaLooks]

You're so welcome! Thanks for checking it out!

[@tattooedmomma]

Well shit. I just received my tags i ordered last week and thought "OMG, i can make these myself" but didn't know how. Thank you. Hobby lobby's brand is great, and affordable HTV. the sheet you put over it is a " teflon pressing sheet"

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Lol You sound just like me "I can make these myself"... I say that about everything. If I had the recipe I'd try to make my own HTV sheets too🤣 Ok great, I'll have to check out Hobby Lobby's stash. They always have great sales, so that's perfect. Teflon sheet! Thank you! It was on the tip of my tongue lol

[@Jaded6911]

This is on time because I sure did make my business cards on my scan n cut. Good looking out on the fonts. Going to give them a try.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

That's a great idea, I need to do cards next! Yes hunni that font site is everything!

[@Jessica-li2hm]

Ravon, thank you for this tutorial. I have been wondering how to make tags with my cricut. And it is awesome that other colors can be used and save tons of money and time!! And your baby girl is just precious and so adorable!! I have a son who will be 14 soon and a daughter who will be 10 this year!! It is crazy how fast the time flies!! I hope you have a wonderful day!! 🙂🙃

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Yes, we can save tons of money making our own! Lol thank you! She's four going on 15, so I totally get what you mean about them growing so fast! Thank you for checking out my video, and I hope you have a great day too!

[@Clearymartin]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Now I need a cricut lol

[@equettegladney7764]

Nice video... rather helpful. just one note. HTV stands for heat transfered vinyl if it's the kind that adheres without heat it's just vinyl. Thank you for the video!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thanks!

[@bobbimcconnell1884]

Thank you! I started marking bags after masking Covid Masks as well!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Where it all started!

[@SasszeOne]

143 vinyl has some really good htv... Htv is great I wonder how it would hold up on a bag front like a panel or something... I have used it on the back of tassels etc. I have also made some tags it saves so much money... Great Tutorial!!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thanks! Yes, I'm thinking about using it or transfer paper to make a panel tutorial. Thanks for the HTV source reference!

[@teresamonday81]

I just hopped in the comments about 143. Great HTV and super affordable

[@LuvLolaLooks]

@@teresamonday81 thanks!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Why is it just shining in that you said you use it on the back of tassels? Great idea!

[@femalehustlecowithzee]

Thanks for the video. I love all your videos. I’m going to try to make some leather/vinyl name tags. I have a lot of experience with HTV and adhesive vinyl and you did a pretty good job explaining. When you cut the printed HTV you have to cut it a little deeper than the regular HTV. 🤗

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thanks for checking out my videos! I put the cut on more pressure, but I suppose I could pick another material.. I never thought of that. Thanks! Good luck with your tags, I would love for you to post the finished results on my group! www.luvlolalooks.com/single-project

[@niri7154]

Great video. I hadn't thought of doing labels with my cricut. Guess what I'm doing today.. A couple of pointers. The outline is from the backing sheet. If you leave a bit more space around your design so the backing sheet is off the side of your label when you press, you won't get this. Also try a different setting with your animal print htv. Hit 'more pressure ' on the blade setting or try a setting for something thicker like glitter vinyl on the menu. You just have to find a setting it likes.

[@niri7154]

I see you say about the backing. I commented too soon ha x

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hi Niri! Yes, in the video I explain about the outline and how to avoid getting it. I also noted to use the more pressure option, which I did, and it still would not cut through it😭 I suppose I shall give it one more go lol

[@cr8tivelychic]

Thank you

[@jadirar113]

I wish I had a scan and cut! I’m on the fence now with the bag related things you can use it for. ❤

[@LuvLolaLooks]

I love my Cricut

[@sugarmuffin57]

HTV …. Didn’t hear you you say the letters are short for Heat Transfer Vinyl. You did great explaining what it is though. I NEED me a circuit. 😊

[@JoannaVea]

Wow, never thought about making my own tags. I even have some HTV and plenty of scraps.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

[@Heart2HeartCreations]

Love this tutorial! Thanks for the great idea! I’m a new subscriber and enjoy your content. Did you know you can connect your Maker via Wi-Fi and not deal with cords? I like being able to design on my laptop or iPad and not worrying about plugging it in and out. I know some prefer to directly connect, but just thought I’d mention that in case you didn’t know. Dafont is da bomb! 🤣 I was taking screen shots of the font names as you were scrolling. I haven’t used it in awhile and didn’t know you could donate to creators…or maybe I just never noticed. That’s very cool!!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thank you so much for subscribing! I totally did not know that I could connect via website. Do you how many times I've tripped over that damn cord?! I would love to do without lol Thanks for that info. Yesss dafont is da bomb!!

[@juliebadger6493]

Thank you for this tutorial, Ravon. It's great. I didn't hear if you addressed it. But, can you use regular permanent stick vinyl? I have tons of that type of vinyl. Didn't know the types that I'd actually use before purchasing vinyl when I got my cricut.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hi! I'm not an expert on vinyl, so i don't want to steer you in the wrong direction or give incorrect information; the only kind I've ever used is what I have linked in the description box of this tutorial.

[@jenpatterson8309]

Great tutorial sure wish Swoon would come up with more patterns

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thank you! Lol yes we can't get enough

Alicia, the Founder of Swoon Patterns, sold it to Patterns by Mrs.H in the UK who keeps all the Swoon Patterns available to the public. Alicia switched gears by getting into making handmade soaps & bath bombs.

@@gypsyrobin Oh wow! I did not know that. Thanks for sharing!

@@LuvLolaLooks, it happened during 2020 and with all that went on that year in the handbag world with Supply Chain issues due to Covid, that news kind of got lost in the shuffle of life. But Samantha keeps it going so no worries.

Baby girl wanted to play dolls so bad 😂❤️ Maybe your little one needs another little one to play with 😉😉😉 My great niece moved all the way to Florida so this definitely made me miss her and playing dolls with her. 💔 Thanks for the video. I'm definitely going to work on making some tags. Now if I can just come up with a name that will work!! Anonymous Amy Makes is a bit too long to fit on those tiny labels 🤣

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Lol she ALWAYS wants to play dolls. Aww, so sorry you're missing your great neice❤ I'm so glad you found this video helpful! Lol yes, that's quite a mouthful for a label.

[@ArkcessorizeYurself]

I use bluetooth with my cricut. Cuz in relocating the cord went into hiding

[@Karen626]

What an awesome tutorial! Now I want a cutting machine. Do you ever use yours to cut fabric pieces? Thanks, Ravon.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hey Karen! 👋🏽 Thank you! No, I haven't, but I hear people do it all the time. I'm too lazy to cut out a square to then place on my mat etc, upload the svg etc. I'll just stick to the ol school trace & cut method lol The process is quite relaxing to me.

Anyone with a Silhouette Cameo make these yet? I've been trying but for some reason, the fonts don't show up in my Silhouette fonts. I'm not technologically advanced AT ALL so I have no idea what to do now. 🤦🏼‍♀️ So embarrassing 😂

[@LuvLolaLooks]

I wish I could help, but I may be less technically savvy than you! Lol

[@deez_xcoll]

Hi great video.... down in South Africa we came last... what do i need??? I know it the HTV, Leather or whatever material for the label, heat press But tell me... is the Cricut a machine or software on your computor What kind of ptinter do i need?

[@CheleBoxy]

A "Cricut" is a cutting machine that you can connect to your computer. You can use it to cut out all kinds of things. I have a Silhouette Cameo 3 cutting machine. I'm still learning how to use it.😅

@@CheleBoxy thank you....
