Begin by launching Cricut Design Space, the software used to customize and prepare your designs for cutting. Upload your SVG design or create your own using the tools available. Make sure your design is set to Mirror Image (flipped horizontally) before cutting because HTV is applied upside-down.
Place the Glitter HTV shiny side down (this is the carrier sheet side) onto your cutting mat. Load the mat into your Cricut machine and proceed to cut your design. Choose the appropriate settings for Glitter HTV in the Design Space to ensure a clean cut.
Once the design is cut, use weeding tools to remove the excess vinyl, leaving only your glittery design on the carrier sheet.
Position your weeded design onto your fabric, with the carrier sheet facing up. Cover it with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet to protect your fabric and vinyl during the heat pressing process.
If you’re using a heat press, set it according to the Glitter HTV’s recommended time and temperature. Generally, it’s around 320°F for 15-20 seconds. If you’re using an iron, set it to the cotton setting without steam. Apply firm pressure and heat evenly over the design for around 20-25 seconds.
Once cooled, carefully peel away the carrier sheet and marvel at your glittery masterpiece! If the vinyl hasn’t fully adhered, press again for a few seconds. And there you go—another unique creation made possible with Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl!
