Tank Top Steps
Step 1.
Cut your vinyl using a vinyl cutter of your choice. Remember to mirror the design in your design software. If you are using a Cricut cutter, you will want to attach your design together before cutting. For more tips on using a Cricut cutter and Cricut Design Space, check out this blog " How to Cut HTV on Cricut Using Cricut Design Space“.
Step 2.
Weed out the excess vinyl from your sheet. We will typically trim our sheet before weeding so we can save the scraps for future projects.
Step 3.
We chose to put our first design on a district tank top, so we warmed up our heat press to 305 F and did a 5 second pre-press of our shirt to smooth out any wrinkles and remove moisture. Then we lined up the first layer of the “america” design, the Red Easyweed. We pressed this layer for a one second tack, then peeled the liner off to reveal the pressed layer! If you are pressing an uneven surface, you can use a heat press pillow to ensure it all presses evenly.
Step 4.
After we pressed our first layer, we lined up the second layer, Easyweed White. If you don’t have an upper platen cover, you will want to use a heat press release sheet to protect the layer of HTV that is already on the garment. We pressed this layer for a one second tack, then peeled the liner off to reveal the pressed layer!
Step 5.
Next, we lined up our third layer of this design, Easyweed Royal Blue. We pressed it for 10 seconds since it was our last layer. When the 10 seconds finished, we peeled the liner and the tank top was finished!
Hat Steps
Step 1.
We chose to put our second design on a hat, so we warmed up our hat press to 305 F. Then we lined up the first layer of the rainbow design, the Red Easyweed. We pressed this layer for a one second tack, then peeled the liner off to reveal the pressed layer!
Step 2.
After we pressed our first layer, we lined up the second layer, Easyweed White. We pressed this layer for a one second tack, then peeled the liner off and got ready to press our third layer. If you have any exposed vinyl, you should cover it with a heat press release sheet to protect it from the heat.
Step 3.
Next, we lined up our third and final layer of this design, Easyweed Royal Blue. We made sure it was lined up then we pressed it for 10 seconds since it was our last layer. When the 10 seconds finished, we peeled the liner and the hat was finished!
