Thanks for the cheers ! 🫶🏼

One of the materials I keep coming back to is HTVRont—both the transfer tape and the decal vinyl sticker. Even the smallest cutouts come out clean, without tearing or damage, unlike other materials I’ve tried. This is also what I use for mug souvenirs, car stickers, and tumblers. I really love the matte finish, and if I had to choose which decal sticker to use, it would still be HTVRont.

What an awesome idea! It’s one of those Why didn’t I think of that moments, for me! Now, you’re gonna have me saving every kind of dry goods box so I can cut them. :joy: I just threw some in my recycling bin, last week, because I had them for over a year, and hadn’t done anything with them. :pensive: Now, I’m sad.

Last days I was making some fun Tumblers again and I found the Printable Vinyl more easy for customize with every character and now it’s one of my main list! :star_struck::sweat_smile:

If I have to pick one material, I’m going to go with something broad, like vinyl. That encompasses HTV, adhesive, glitter, holographic etc… All vinyl is so much fun to work with! I love adding a little sparkle or bling, so I tend to use shimmer for adhesive and glitter for HTV. Who doesn’t need a little sparkle in their life, I know I love to have sparkle. Vinyl is general is really very versatile and it’s not just for shirts, it can be used on plastic, cotton, polyester, wood, glass etc., it offers many options and choices, which I love. Have a great day!

So, for me, it’s heat resistant tape. I watched some videos on sublimating mugs and tumblers before I bought my tumbler press. All the videos just totally skipped the part of wrapping and taping their blank up in prep to press. It’s like they were keeping the information a secret, Drove me up the wall. This was awhile ago lol. But for the life of me, I couldn’t find any information on it. I’m like surely they can’t be using normal tape, it would melt. I eventually found it in Spotlight in the Cricut isle. I was like, what’s that. It was a huge eureka moment for me. Ever since then, I’ve been totally open to showing every step and every product I use because I know what I went through. :rofl:

I love using holographic and glitter HTV in my projects—it adds the perfect touch of sparkle and shimmer to everything I make.
