How to Layer Iron-On Vinyl on a Faux Leather Totebag

[@betheubank3121]

I love your videos very direct no nonsense , love they aren’t live with all the continuous talk and you have made decision on what you are making and going right to it.

[@GoGetIt411]

Thank you for sharing!! You actually helped me get away from a company where I had to pay 300$ semi-monthly on stampsets and get focused on my Cricut that I was to afraid to touch for 3 years! This was my only Cricut that I was intimidated by thanks for helping me overcome the fear! ( by the way I own 5 Cricut models).

[@Theresa121162]

THANK YOU!, THANK YOU !,😊😊 THANK YOU!!! I totally needed this tutorial! I RUINED a Faux Leather Journal because I THOUGHT I knew what I was doing. My heat temp was too high and times too long!!! You have been a true life saver as I have 100 journals to Iron on a logo. You are always my go to person when in doubt. Your tutorial are so easy to follow and you teach at the right pace. Not too fast and not too slow. Oh!, and the sheet!, I was using parchment paper. Heading back to the job on hand. Ill try to let you know how it goes.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! Cool!

[@x0natashaa]

I love that you don't stray from the video at all. You speak so clearly and I understood so well!

[@pennykitzmiller]

I am so glad to watch this. I am going to try my first vinyl project. It is a laundry bag for my daughter. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours. I don’t have a heat press but will be trying it with my iron. Oh I hope it goes well!!!!! Will post if it’s a success 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@marionbroadnax9915]

I saw the Cricut EasyPress in Micheals last year. I know I need one once I get my Cricut Machine. Thaks, Jennifer!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are very welcome!

[@byreneeclark]

You did a beautiful job on those tote bags. It's nice to see that vinyl can be pressed on faux leather.

[@suecummings3277]

I am a newbie to iron on vinyl, you explained the whole process very well with all the different layers. Your videos video has given me a good onsite on how to add the extra layers. I just purchased the easy press 2 6x7 to place iron on onises. Haven't gotten a chance to do it yet. But in my box there were on list of temperature for the different fabric that you are using. I will have to go to the cricut site. Looking forward to more of your video. CONGRATULATIONS on working withe Circut😊

[@ashlyward7114]

Thank you!! I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now. Your an amazing teacher. I would love to have the true control knife blade and ruler!!

[@monaquilts4679]

Jennifer..when I typed in Cricut how to layer vinyl for t shirts..your videos did not come up..I watched a quick video..that was very helpful..it showed how the person put rectangle boxes below all the layers of color and when she put the design together on the transfer sheet she used those boxes to line every layer up. Do you have a tutorial like that? I want to watch your version please.

[@novaskyy9884]

This is a super cute design that introduced simple layering for those such as myself who are new to cricut. By the way Jennifer, thank you for the cricut coach playbook, it's a must have. I've learned so much using your tips and tricks.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome, Shontae! I am happy you are finding the Playbook useful! 😍

[@rjfunchesrahjohfun]

Great tutorial, I did a test (one letter) on the bottom of a pleather tote bag and it worked! I'm ready to do the front!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Great job! Thanks for watching!😊🌻

[@robinhanff4248]

Very nice!! I got an easy press and haven't even opened it yet but when I find something to put something on I will try it...thank you for doing this video it helped!!

[@stellaupton5326]

I did five of these last year for my granddaughters and my daughter with a monogram. They loved them.

[@monicasosa4566]

I am curious of they lasted for a while?

[@abbystone5738]

THANK YOU for doing a more in depth explanation about which side of the vinyl goes up/down!!! I use my Maker mostly for paper crafting because I've ruined SO MANY rolls of expensive vinyl. It's so confusing and htv and regular vinyl are different. It's frustrating for those like me who are 'Vinyl Stupid'. Ha!

[@JenniferMaker]

When you don't do a lot of vinyl stuff, it's easy to forget which side is which. I have to refresh myself each time, or I also make mistakes. Seeing it visually really helps, I think!

[@simplestartmomrilveria9521]

What the heck! I can move things on the final page before cutting!! Game changer!! I love you

[@JenniferMaker]

Isn't it great to learn new things??? 😁

[@gwenkindt8022]

You are my go to girl on all things Cricut! Thank you so much.

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow, thank you!

[@MzzzTbaby]

I love it! I bought my maker and easy press earlier this year and I have only used it once because design space is really hard for me.

[@TheRichWorld61]

I just ordered my cricut air explore 2 in peacock.. and I can't wait to get started.. Looking for extra income while I go back to school.. I am soooo excited..

[@chelseajohnson3733]

I just got my first cricut...looking forward to making something awesome!

[@cocopup8443]

Hi Chelsea.. Have you made anything yet?. I'm thinking of getting one 2moro. But am so nervous. It's not a cheap machine.

[@chelseajohnson3733]

@@cocopup8443 I actually got the Brother ScanNCut too, and have been using it a lot. It is so easy for me to cut out my stamps on bulk so I can color and make my projects. My Cricut is just sitting for now : \

I would have never thought to try htv on faux leather! It looks fantastic!

Very pretty but intimidating looking to me! Not sure I could do it! Thank you for sharing all the tips.

[@amywalker4421]

Thank you! I bought a gorgeous cosmetic bag set to use as an emergency kit for a hens and wedding. I don't have an easy press so im going to use baking paper and be very careful with and iron.

Sounds great! I love the term hen! 😊

Another great tutorial. Thanks again. I don't have a Cricut press. How can I use my iron to make this? Temperature? Timing?

[@kathygraves2173]

Great video, I also use my weeding tool to lift up the vinyl on the edges.

[@laurawilson4115]

Congrats on making the decision to invest in Cricut. Glad to hear your passion is taking off in a positive way!!!!! Continue the detailed I formative tutorials !!!! So so glad I found your channel !!!!! I very much enjoy learning from you, Jennifer the Maker !!!!! And I just saw a pin or post on PINTREST. I saw the headline and was like HEY THATS MY JENNIFER!!!!

[@susintippie4790]

I just found this channel and I immediately subscribed, I am thrilled. (And I bought some of your books) Anyway, what if you cut all the carrier sheet and used one of the very small electric irons to just tac an edge of each letter before you use the Easy Press? Would that work? Thank you for the way you teach. Speaking WHILE doing is the best. I am not tempted to speed up or skip to anything like i am with others. They wave their hands and talk forever before DOING anything. CRICUT was very insightful to sponsor any of your teaching sessions.

[@JenniferMaker]

Hi, Susin! Thank you so much for subscribing! And what you're describing would work, I think, so long as you didn't mess with it at all after you tacked it in place. I will try that on a future project and let folks know if it works or not. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@missmanaged24]

Hi Jennifer!! Love all you do, i have a question, can you also do this on a Faux leather Ja ket?? Thank you

[@JenniferMaker]

I am sure you can! I would test a small portion first. :)

[@nicoledickel4360]

Can this design be put on the cricut tote bag? And what’s the size of the vinyls if I didn’t change the design size or is it better to use a full sheet and cut off and save the extra? Do you have a video on how to add a different name at the bottom? Can holographic iron-on be used? Sorry lots of questions lol Thanks 😊

[@JenniferMaker]

Hi Nicole! Yes, you can put this on a tote bag. I would just use a full sheet and then cut off the extra for use later. To add a different name, just remove the current name and insert the name you would like. You can use the offset feature in Design Space to get layers behind the name. When using holographic, I would make it your top most layer.

[@nicoledickel4360]

@@JenniferMaker thank you so much can’t wait to try this!

[@603kimcrafts9]

The fabric that you used to cover the vinyl while pressing is just cotton sheeting, yes? Thank you for the tutorial!

[@streamstriss]

I really appreciate these videos with the great tips for iron on!

[@air12345567]

I'm so glad I found you! I've been......frustrated! I learned so much just watching two videos! How do you adjust the sizes of the letters to be just a tiny bit smaller than the black?

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm glad you found me, too! Thank you!! The letters were adjusted in Illustrator, not Design Space, when I created the design.

[@anel9766]

I´m new in your channel and you are just amazing teacher, thank you for share your knowledge.

[@mistymorris]

I found a couple cute bags at Target but I melted one trying to add an iron on. I will try these settings and see if it works.

[@yolisruiz5004]

Love how you explained.. 💕 you are awesome thank you for your time...

[@rachelrinosa2449]

Cool project! Will practice on this when I get all the materials I need

[@salmamagdy-bs8vq]

Thank you for the video, but I just want to ask why we need to make the design in layers?! What will happen if we did it in 1 layer?!

[@JenniferMaker]

Iron-on vinyl is already on a transfer sheet. 🥰

[@pittiesmom10]

Thank you for doing this! I've always been afraid to use these totes because I felt like I might melt them!

[@melissasorrells7495]

Thanks for the excellent well explained video. I have an easy press but have never opened it because I was afraid of it working well. Is there a reason you don't use a teflon sheet vs the white sheet you used?

[@JenniferMaker]

I don't have a Teflon sheet -- that's the only reason. :)

[@lorigovert9736]

You are such an inspirations Jennifer!

[@Sandy-yb2qk]

I have watch this a few times. I have the tote bag already so this is on my weekend to do list. Thank you!

[@MickisMom]

Hi Jennifer. This video is so helpful. Have you tried adhering faux leather to a faux leather tote? I was thinking of adhering Siser adhesive to the back of faux leather and adhere that to a faux leather tote...Just not sure how it would come out.

[@JenniferMaker]

Not yet but that sounds like a really cool project! Give it a try!

[@BlancaSerena]

I am still feel afraid to use iron on on material that I think can burn easily, but I will try it soon, I only have the mini easy express

[@mahonnajames6931]

Hello first of all your an EXCELLENT TEACHER🌟🌟now I've had my heat press for about a year n now the cord has a short do you think this could be fixed😭😭🙏🏽

[@JenniferMaker]

Is your heat press still under warranty?

[@mahonnajames6931]

Jennifer Maker I believe I got it last Mother’s Day but no receipt

[@Omiu247]

Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! Are you using a specific type of sheet? Or is it just any ol' cotton sheet?

[@JenniferMaker]

It's an old cotton pillowcase, but make sure you have a couple of layers there! 😍

[@debsheets]

Thanks, I have been wanting to try this, and you make it so easy.

[@sarahnoriega7950]

Great project and convenient, I will try it soon!

[@vmcd9165]

Do you always use Cricut vinyl, or have you used others? Cricut vinyl is more expensive but I'm not sure if there's a reason for that...

[@JenniferMaker]

I almost always use either Cricut or Oracal vinyl! With vinyl, as with most things, I've found that you get what you pay for! 😉

[@shanlyng79]

How do you make the MAKER and SHOW AND TEL signs in the background? Would love to know!

[@JenniferMaker]

We didn't make those, but we now have a tutorial on them jennifermaker.com/3d-paper-letters/

Do I layer permanent vinyl the same way as you did here on this video....minus the press of course. lol Thanks!

[@jackelinefreytes6022]

Learning everyday! Nice work! Thank you

[@krazigracie]

Love this!! I am a newbie and want to make something similar but I don't know how you did the cute designs that go over the letters. Do you have a tutorial about that?? Thank you!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Are you talking about the designs on the word, "CRAFT"? Those are part of the design we created - I just used the simple shapes found in Design Space and placed them over the block letters to form different smaller designer in the letters themselves! You can see how I put them on the word starting at 18:37 in the video! 😍

[@krazigracie]

@@JenniferMaker Yes, but how do I make different ones in Design Space?? I am making a sign for my kids playroom and want to add some cute shapes (like the ones on the word CRAFT in this video) to go over my letters but I don't know how to. I have tried searching online but no luck. So, I thought I'd ask you!! :)

[@JenniferMaker]

Well, infusible isn't a vinyl, it's an ink and needs a high polyester count to work really well! You could certainly try using a permanent vinyl! Because of the bumpy surface of the faux leather, I don't know how well it would adhere, but you could experiment! 🥰

[@da2haviland]

Do you like HTV or Oracle better? If I chose to use permanent adhesive, what's the best way?
