Make your Own Valentine’s Day Heart Garlands : Silhouette Craft Project!
In the spirit of the upcoming holiday devoted to love, we decided to do some Valentine’s Day crafting at USCutter! It was extra special, because we had one of our co-workers, a seasoned craft expert, in town from our other location, so we were able to do some training with our Silhouette Cameo.
For our project we decided to do a Valentine’s Day garland. We found some colorful felt hearts at a local craft store and some gold cord, so we used that as the base of our project. We decided to use some glow in the dark heat transfer vinyl for an “XOXO” pattern that we would put on the hearts.
Using the Silhouette Software, we found a font that we liked, and created our X’s and O’s.
We were now ready to cut, so we loaded our vinyl into the Cameo.
Make sure to mirror your designs for all heat transfer vinyl applications before you cut!
After weeding and cutting our letters, we placed them on our hearts and laid them out on the heat press.
Since they were pretty small, we were able to press them at the same time.
After cutting slits into the felt hearts, we ran the gold cord through the hearts and we were done!
HEY JOE! What do you know about Faux-Rhinestone Designs with Siser?
A lot of people get into custom apparel to make rhinestone transfers, onto clothing, costumes, hand bags and more!
But it’s not the easiest process to master. You have to cut out a stencil from a special flock, and mess with a tweezers and hundreds of slippery little choking hazards.
There has to be an easier way! In this 3rd video in our 5 part series on introductory heat transfer topics with Siser NA pitchman Joe, he takes you through the ease and amazing effect of cutting faux-rhinestone designs out of Siser Holographic!
