So if you love adding that extra special touch to your holiday celebrations, the personalized cozies at the perfect crap to do that. They'll keep your drinks chilled and your spirits high throughout the season. Today I'm going to show you step by step tutorial how to turn plain cozies into dazzling one of kind holiday accessories. So without further ado, let's get started on our Christmas personalized cozies with cricket. It's time to make the season mean bright. 2. Design Space: Before we dive into the creative magic, we'll begin by designing our quizes. First of all, let's add our design to the canvas. Click on the button that says Block Image. Drop your file here, or just click the Browse button. Go to the folder where you save your unzipped files and find the SG file. Now you can add your design to the canvas. We see that the design has opened in a large size. Let's resize it to the appropriate size, minus six centimeter wide. Next, I will show you the design option that you can make. First of all, let's change the color of the main text. Use this text and then adjust the font size and the color to create your desaloge. Feel free to personalize it with names, holiday greetings, or any other festive messages. If you have multiple text boxes, you need to sender it horizontally. Once you are ready to cut, select your entire design and choose Attached. This helps to holiday cuts in the same position to each. And if you don't, click Attach, the letter and elements might shift around when you send the design to cut. Now our design is ready. Click Make it to set up your cutting method, but I will work with the text itself. Make sure to select mirror for any text or design that involves iron on Ol. Select the material settings for R non click continue and follow the prompts to load the Met into your cricket machine. 3. Materials and Cutting the Design: Once our design is ready, it's time to bring them to life with the cricket machine. Let's talk about the materials you need for this project. First of all, it's of course heat transfer, vinyl, any glitter, HTV makes your project sparkle and shine with little effort. That's why it's a great choice for T shirts, hats, pets and other fabric items. Also, you'll need cricket waiting tours. Next is blend cozies. With this ready made co, you can perfectly match your holiday decor or make wonderful gifts for family and friends. Also the drink holds good for keeping your hands while preventing drips and spillage from other surfaces. Or you can use cotton fabric and medium weight fusible interfacing if you decide to make. Cuz by yourself, personally, I enjoy the process of sewing, so I made one by myself with my sewing machine. I use cotton fabric and fusible please also you'll need ribbon in the color you like to make a ball. In general, you can take any decoration you like to embellish your cousin. Hot glue, gun, and cricket, easy press or an iron. Now let's load the mat and select the right settings. Place iron on sheet, shiny line upside down onto the standard grid mat. Also wear a sticky mat is must have for HTV. Little vinyl, new mat is always sticky. And keep your vinyl nice and flat so your design cut with precision. I couldn't mind HTV on every day. R non settings. But it will change depending on your HDV material. Try different settings on your cricket and find the settings that cut off your vinyl just enough and leaves the carrier sheet intact. The basic recommendation is to cut your vinyl on everyday RNon, custom litter or cardstock settings. Also check your cart before unloading met or material from the machine. Just try to lift up a part of your project using a wedding tool and rerun your project if it's needed. Also, don't forget to test a piece of cricket iron in the invisible part of the item prior to application. 4. Weeding and Ironing-On: Let's cut off the piece of the HTV vinyl. We need remove negative pieces from the design, leaving the liner intact. I love HTV, but it can also be really hard and tricky to work with. The major problem of glitter HTV vinyl, is that sparkly texture makes your cut lines almost invisible. Sometimes it can be so hard to see a design, making it impossible to read and know way you should trim off excess vinyl. As you can see, no line glitter. Htv is fine, but if you're ever faced with this problem, try to cut the design and dust with the baby powder. Sounds fun, right? Take a small amount of baby powder and le the rabbit around on the design. It makes lines visible and makes easy to see where you need to meet. Before starting to work with an easy press or iron, please check the cricket at guide to determine recommended care instructions for your specific base material and iron on type. My main recommendation is to iron with the patchment paper or piece of cotton fabric over your material to protect it from the heat of the iron. For those who use steam irons, like me, turn the steam setting off when applying cricket iron on. If some parts of the design isn't sticking, replace the liner over the iron on film and iron the section for extra 10 seconds. Place your design on cuz shine a liner side up and apply medium pressure for 20 seconds. Then remove the liner and your personalized Christmas is ready for use. It's perfect for keeping your drink cool and adding a festive touch to your holiday celebrations. We hope you enjoy this dear y adventure. So now enjoy your favorite holiday beverages in this festive fuzzies. Happy holidays. And may you Christmas be filled with warm and joy.
