What is Puff HTV and how is it used?
Puff heat transfer vinyl is ***the*** hot material to try this year…I’ve used puff HTV for quite a few projects, and I’ll try to answer your questions about what this material is, how it’s cut and how it’s applied. Puff vinyl texture can vary a lot depending on the brand you’re using, the material you’re pressing it on, and the temperature, time and pressure you use. You can get a smooth marshmallow finish, but if you're not carefulm you can get an orange peel finish, or even a brainy texture.

ThermoFlex HTV printable time and Temp charts
They aren't found in craft stores, but ThermoFlex, DecoFilm, and other heat transfer vinyls (HTVs) made by Specialty Materials are a favorite of professionals and crafters in-the-know. Specialty Materials makes more than 45 different types of HTV, including heat- and light-sensitive, colored reflective and glow in the dark, and HTV of every finish and color you can imagine. I have had a number of people contact me asking for a time and temperature chart for ThermoFlex and DecoFilm like the ones I created for Cricut and Siser HTV, so I created a set of charts for Specialty Materials products available as printable PDF files

What is Flocked iron-on and how do I use it?
Flocked iron on is a heat transfer vinyl (HTV) product that has a soft, velvety feel. It's a thicker vinyl product that you can use to make tote bags, hats, hoodies, bags, and more. If the examples you've seen of flocked iron-on have been single-layer snoozefests, you're missing out on the versatility of this cool HTV. This material can be layered to look like embroidery and can even be used to make super thick 3D decals. Let's learn all about this groovy iron-on!

How to layer HTV on canvas tote bags
Tote bags are my favorite base for using HTV. There are a lot of reasons why I think tote bags make great blanks for HTV projects: 1. large surface to work on 2. made of sturdy material like cotton or canvas that can support high heat and multiple layers 3. don’t get washed frequently so you don’t have to worry about the durability of the vinyl through laundering 4. they make useful, cool gifts that can be stored easily 5. you can never have too many, and you’ll never outgrow a tote bag!
