Koozies are a great way to add a fun and unique touch to any party, gathering, or event. They’re also incredibly useful for keeping drinks cold and hands warm.
If you have a Cricut EasyPress, you can easily make personalized koozies with heat transfer vinyl. But first, you need to know what temperature your EasyPress should be set at.
For most types of koozies, including neoprene, foam, and cloth-covered foam options, your Cricut EasyPress should be set to 365°F (185°C). This temperature is hot enough to activate the adhesive on the heat transfer vinyl without damaging the koozie material.
It’s important to note that some fabrics may require different temperatures. If you’re using a thick fabric like denim or leather, for example, you may need to raise the temperature slightly.
If your fabric is thinner or more delicate, then it’s best to lower the temperature slightly. You can refer to the instructions on your heat transfer vinyl package for specific temperature recommendations.
Tips For Getting The Best Results
In addition to setting your EasyPress at the correct temperature for your fabric type, there are a few other tips that will help ensure great results with your koozie project.
- Make sure your koozie is clean and dry before pressing on the design.
- Use an EasyPress Mat or piece of parchment paper between your design and koozie.
- Press firmly and evenly over all parts of the design for 15 seconds.
- Wait 24 hours before washing.
