Transfer tape is an essential tool for Cricut crafters. It’s a thin, transparent adhesive sheet that can be used to transfer cut designs from the cutting mat onto other surfaces like glass, metal, wood, and more. Transfer tape makes it easy to transfer intricate shapes and designs from the cutting mat to a variety of materials without having to worry about losing the design or having it shift out of place.
Transfer tape is applied directly over the cut design on the cutting mat. It can be used with both adhesive and non-adhesive vinyls and is ideal for intricate designs that require precise placement.
To use transfer tape with a Cricut machine, simply place the sheet of transfer tape over the vinyl design, rub it down with a Cricut scraper or burnisher and then carefully peel away the backing paper. Once you have removed the backing paper, you can then carefully place your design onto your desired surface.
Transfer tape is also useful for creating layered vinyl designs. Layered designs are often used in crafting projects like t-shirts, mugs, signs and more.
To create a layered design with transfer tape and a Cricut machine, start by creating each layer on its own piece of vinyl using the Cricut machine. Once all of your layers are cut out, you can use transfer tape to combine them together into one cohesive design.
Conclusion:
Transfer Tape is a must-have tool for any Cricut crafter’s arsenal as it allows them to easily transfer intricate shapes and designs from their cutting mat onto other surfaces without having to worry about losing any detail or having it shift out of place. Additionally, Transfer Tape allows for easy creation of layered vinyl designs which are often used in crafting projects like t-shirts, mugs and signs.
