How Do You Use Glitter Iron on Vinyl Cricut?

Using glitter iron-on vinyl with the Cricut machine can help you create unique and eye-catching designs for clothes, accessories, and home decor. It is important to understand the type of vinyl you are using and the recommended settings for your machine to get the best results.

When using glitter iron-on vinyl, it is essential to select a material setting that is compatible with your Cricut machine. This will ensure that your machine accurately cuts the material and that the iron-on adheres correctly during application.

For most Cricut machines, this will be a “glitter iron-on” or “iron-on” setting.

Once you have selected the correct material setting on your machine, it’s time to design and cut out your project. Glitter iron-on vinyl comes in a variety of colors and finishes, so you can customize any design to match your style. When designing in Cricut Design Space, make sure to mirror each piece before cutting so that the design will be cut correctly when the glitter iron-on vinyl is placed shiny side down on the mat.

Preparing for Application

Before applying glitter iron-on vinyl onto fabric or other surfaces, it is important to prepare both materials so that they adhere properly. To do this, preheat a dry household iron on its highest heat setting without steam for about 5 minutes. Preheating helps activate adhesive on both materials for better adhesion.

Once both materials are prepared, cover the design with a pressing cloth such as a pillowcase or cotton cloth. Place the pressing cloth over the design and press firmly with an up and down motion for 15 seconds. Repeat this step until all areas of the design are securely attached.

Conclusion

Using glitter iron-on vinyl with a Cricut machine is an easy way to create beautiful designs for clothes, accessories, and home décor items. Selecting compatible material settings in Cricut Design Space and preparing both materials before application will ensure maximum adhesion when using an ordinary household iron.
