I love Loklik
I really do love Loklik and what they create in the world of crafting, this is why my first project is to show my love to Loklik
I am going to walk you through the process of making a

customized Tote bag for the mini press

What you need…

Materials

1.Laptop / Mobile / Tablet…
2.Loklik Idea Studio
3.Loklik crafter / Icraft machine
4.Fine point blade
5.Heat transfer vinyl HTV
6.Cutting mat
7.Weeding tools
8.Heat press
9.Teflon sheet
10.The object you’ll be working on (Canva /Tote bag)

let’s get started

First step : we need to use the Idea Studio to design our project, in my case I chose the design from the library coz it is really rich of designs​, I searched for heart and chose one of the designs
After that I wrotey text and placed it with design.

Second step : place your Htv on the cutting mat (sort the colours of the htv exactly as they are on the Idea Studio)
3d step : turn your cutting machine on
4th step : insert the mat carefully in the Loklik crafter/icraft
5th step : connect you machine with your Laptop and choose the correct settings
my settings are
Standard cut, brand HTVRONT, material pure heat transfer vinyl and don’t forget to MIRROR your design
6th step: add the order to the todo list and click on start


7th step : let the Loklik works it’s magic

8th step : after the cutting is finished let’s start weeding our HTV

9th step : preheat your press, I’m using Loklik mini press on the 2nd level.

10th step : clean your surface from the dust (the bag) with a lint roller.
11th step : preheat the bag for several seconds
12th step : place your weeded htv on the bag
13th step : place the Teflon sheet on the bag
14th step : now your mini press is ready start pressing for about 15 seconds

15th step : remove the carrier sheet from the htv

Tadaaaaa
Here is your finished product

That’s soooo cute and very well lit. What’s your lighting when you make videos or take pictures?

[Marino]

Thanks sweety actually I have a very bad lighting I have a small ring and a led lamp, I try to film 8n the morning and the finished product is always pictured on the balcony.

[timmytation]

Natural lighting is really the best. The problem with me is I’m a night owl, I prefer working at night

[Marino]

Yeah I pout my heat press directly beside the window as it was my first machine to make videos for and now the Loklik I craft is beside it but I need the light ring for it. On the other side of the room you can see the pictures of weeding is a little bit darker that’s where I struggle to film

[timmytation]

I envy the videos posted by Loklik on FB where their lighting is sooo good it seems there are not much shadows hindering their work.

[Marino]

Yes they have the place for it but we don’t we work from a small corner in our houses so we’re doing our best

[timmytation]

That is sooooo true. My crafting space now is currently occupied by clothes I still need to fold
