  2. Learning the Difference Between HTV & Adhesive Vinyl

  3. If you're new to the crafting world, getting started with vinyl can be exciting, but more often than not, you end up getting overwhelmed with how many different types of vinyl there are to choose from as you are suddenly confronted with unfamiliar words like heat transfer vinyl, permanent vinyl, HTV, adhesive...so, what do these all mean? Let's start by comparing both types of vinyl:

  4. Heat Transfer Vinyl   • Heat Transfer Vinyl (or HTV) is a type of craft vinyl that is often used on T-Shirts and fabrics through a heat-application process. This also commonly referred to as "iron-on" vinyl by most beginners. Popular types of Heat transfer vinyl include SiserEasyWeed, Premium Plus, Glitter, and Inkjet Printable. Many who work with this type of vinyl use a Cricut machine, weeding tools, and a heat press to bring their designs to life. One characteristic of HTV is that each sheet (or roll) of HTV comes with a carrier sheet which allows you to transfer your cut-out design to the shirt or fabric of your choice. This carrier sheet is often clear or frosty, and most importantly, the vinyl underneath is NOT sticky. Different types of vinyl will have different cut settings & heat settings, so you'll want to carefully pay attention to the instructions for each product.

  5. Adhesive Vinyl   • Adhesive Vinyl is a type of craft vinyl that is often used for decals & stickers that is applied to a wide variety of smooth hard surfaces. Adhesive vinyl falls under two main categories: Permanent & Temporary. Popular types of permanent adhesive vinyl include Oracal 651, EasyPSV Glitter, and Glow In The Dark, whereas a popular type of temporary vinyl would be the Oracal 631. Many who work with this type of vinyl use a Cricut machine, weeding tools, and application tape to apply their designs to various surfaces. One characteristic of adhesive is that each sheet (or roll) of adhesive vinyl typically has a white paper backing. Most importantly, the vinyl IS sticky. Different types of vinyl will have different cut settings, so you'll want to pay attention to the instructions for each product.
