Customized Hoddie using Loklik Crafter & Htvront Vinyls

My husband’s nephew asked me to customize a hoodie for him using his own design. here’s the design he’s visualizing to have as his merch


I had to trace it using a program on my ipad to convert it to a vector file for more crisp and accurate cuts on my Loklik Crafter. If I simply uploaded his design on loklik and select standard cut, the contours won’t be smooth. I used Affinity designer to trace it, I still have a hard time with Adobe illutrator plus that requires a subscription unlike this app, that can also be used on macbook and windows, was a one-time-pay app for 3 apps already (Affinity Photo, Designer, Publisher)


I showed him the design I made for approval and even made a mockup of it using the specific hoodie image I got from the brand website then put the design on it.


He liked it very much so I cut it on my Loklik Crafter using Htvront vinyls in white, red, rose gold, and glow in the dark (for the person silhouette). I heat pressed it using my Loklik Mini press 2 in Bubble Gum blue, it was very handy since I did the pressing during a vacation so that my husband’s nephew can see how it’s done. Here he is wearing it right after heat pressing.


And here he is sporting his very own merch. By the way, the Spotify code is scannable and will bring you to his Spotify page.


Hope you also like it :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Wow, I am amazed. A first I thought I was looking at a brand within a magazine. Your work is amazing and I bet images don’t justify how great they in person. You have worked hard on this, you can tell.
