Video Tutorial – Cutest Pumpkin Shirts

Here are the steps I took to make the shirts

Step 1 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your project. I did 6×6 for a 4T and 24 month and then 5×5 for the 12 month. Now if you are doing heat transfer vinyl remember to mirror your image. I actually like to flip my image before I send to cut. This way I don’t have to worry about forgetting to mirror or the software moving it on me. It has saved me vinyl.

Also, remember shiny or “pretty” side down on your mat.

Step 2 – Once you have everything cut weed your vinyl.

Step 3 – Heat your press to the proper heat setting for your vinyl.

Step 4 – Prepare your vinyl There are quite a few layers. I like to layer everything together prior to pressing. I organize them on how I would put them on the shirt. So the black base of the pumpkin first, then the orange, eyes, stem, nose, highlights, eye lines and mouth. Now remember you can do some items at the same time to press. You just need to make sure that the transfer sheets do not touch.

Once I have everything layered I fold in half to find the center. For the shirt I wanted Cutest Pumpkin words center under. So I cut them off and moved them.

Step 5 – Once the press is at temp place your pressing pillow down. The reason for the pressing pillow is the seams of the shirt. The pillow will help give you even presses and pressure on the shirt.

Step 6 – Next take the shirt and fold in half and give it a quick press. This helps you find the center seam and takes any moisture out. Then lay it on the pillow. I actually did my reverse so I could see it better.

Step 7 – Now lay your black piece down on the shirt. Use the center seam from the fold you did and line that up on the fold you did. You want to go about 1″ down on a kids shirt. Also, place the Cutest Pumpkin words down as well. Now you are going to press. HINT!!!!! You only want to press long enough to get the transfer sheet to release. So 2 to 3 seconds max. The reason is HTV shrinks. Too much heat will make it hard for the next layers to line up. Remove the transfer sheet. Remove transfer sheets.

Next lay your orange down on the black back and again, only press for 2 to 3 seconds max. Remove the transfer sheet.

Next do the eyes. I also did the stem since the transfer sheet didn’t touch. Press, 2 to 3 seconds. Remove transfer sheets.

Then do the highlights and nose. Press 2 to 3 seconds. Remove transfer sheets.

Then eye lines and mouth. Press 2 to 3 seconds. Remove transfer sheets.

Step 8 – Once all the layers are on do one final press for the full recommended time of your HTV. You want to see fibers in the HTV.

Step 9 – Put the shirts on the punkins and go ohhh!!

Happy Fall! I love fall! The colors, the cooler nights, the smells, etc. So I am sharing with you my Happy Fall Pumpkins. I am using the files to do sublimation on a door mat. This is the perfect addition to any fall decor.

I printed the design out on my convert to sublimation Epson printer and purchased ink off of Etsy. Then I pressed the image using my 15×15 heat press. I had to do 2 presses to got both halves. Check out the video tutorial to learn more.

This weeks FREE Happy Fall Pumpkins PNG/SVG/cut file can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 53 (remember the password is always in the bottom of your weekly email from me). I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made this beautiful door mat.. I can’t wait to see your projects!!

Video Tutorial – Happy Fall Pumpkins

Here are the steps I took to make the Happy Fall Pumpkins Door Mat

Step 1 – Using a sublimation printer, ink and paper, print the PNG file out. There are two different PNG files to choose from. The difference is the big pumpkin. MAKE SURE YOU MIRROR THE PRINT!

Step 2 – Heat up your heat press to 400 degrees.

Step 3 – While the heat press is warming up use the lint roller to clean the mat off. Then put the image on the mat. Use heat tape to tape it down well. I have a 15x15in press so I had to do 2 presses. I also wanted to make sure that the image does not move while moving the mat. So use enough tape to make sure it doesn’t. I also found something to lift the mat side up that was not in the press. The goal is to avoid ghosting images.

Step 4 – Once everything taped down and the press is at 400 degrees. Place a piece of parchment or butcher paper over the image. Press for 60 seconds.

Step 5 – Once the first press is done, move the mat to the other side and press again.

Step 6 – Pull the image off the mat once everything is complete

Step 7 – BONUS – Let’s make a shirt. Take your shirt and place a piece of parchment paper between the layers of the shirt.

Step 8 – Place image on the shirt and tape down and press for 60 seconds. – REMEMBER: when using colored shirt you will pick up a more of a vintage look.

Step 8 – Enjoy!

Hello pumpkin let’s make you in 3D
Hello Pumpkin! Today I am sharing with you my pumpkin signs that I used to make a 3D Pumpkin. The cutting file comes with Hello Pumpkin, Hey Pumpkin and Blessed for your word choices. These are great addition to a table center piece, your fall decorations or a special gift for a friend.

I make my 3D pumpkins with ovals and round. You can cut them yourself or pick some up at your favorite craft location. I cut my ovals and round, however, to help them stand up I used tumble tower blocks from the Dollar Tree. Then using modge podge to attach leopard print tissue paper to the pump centers.

This weeks FREE Pumpkin Signs SVG/cut file can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 52 (remember the password is always in the bottom of your weekly email from me). I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made these fun 3D pumpkins. I can’t wait to see your projects!!

- Cutting Machine and software

- Wood Round and or ovals
- Tissue Paper of choice – I used leopard print from Hobby Lobby

- Polyacrylic or Modge Podge
- Brushes – get my from the Dollar Tree
- Ribbon
- Glue gun

Video Tutorial – 3D Pumpkin

Here are the steps I took to make the Hello Pumpkin 3D Pumpkins

Step 1 – Give your wood a light sanding. Cut your tissue paper or even napkins to be slightly larger then your oval or circle. Then take your polyacrylic (or modge podge) and put a thin layer on the center wood piece for the pumpkins. Then apply your tissue paper to the poly. layer. Then while smoothing it out apply a thin layer over it. Remember, you do not need a lot.

Step 2 – While the centers are drying paint your other pieces and the tumble tower blogs (these are used to help your pumpkins stand up. You can leave the sides and back unpainted if you would like. If you are planning on doing a trio of pumpkins you can paint your pumpkins different colors.

Step 3 – While everything is drying. Cut out the words on your cutting machine. There are 3 options for you. I also curved them to go on left or right side of the pumpkin. Weed your vinyl. If the words are too small you can always do a reverse weed. Apply your transfer tape to the vinyl.

Step 4 – Glue your pumpkins together. The painted pieces will go behind the pattern piece. I used hot glue. You can also use E6000 to make sure it holds. I used the center piece and one of the back pieces first. Applied my glue and then stood it up on end to make sure it was even on the bottom. Then repeated to add the 3rd piece.

Step 5 – Glue the tumble tower blocks to the back. I glued them up just slightly. I wanted a little tilt. Not much, just a little.

Step 6 – Glue the stick to the top of the pumpkin for the stem.

Step 7 – Apply your vinyl words to the pumpkin(s)

Step 8 – Add some ribbon, jute, raffia, etc to the stem to finish the pumpkin off. You can tie a knot or bow.

Step 8 – Enjoy!

With Fall in the Air lets Make a Sunflower Round
Fall is in the air so I design a pretty Sunflower Round. The Sunflower SVG has three different words you can use. You can also leave the words off and just use the Sunflower.

I made my round with a mix of paint and a wood overlay of the Sunflower outline. However, this can be done with all paint using a stencil or vinyl for the words and sunflower. This is such a versatile project. This would be pretty on a door mat, sign, tote bag, etc. So many options.

This weeks FREE Sunflower SVG/cut file can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 51 (remember the password is always in the bottom of your weekly email from me). I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made this beautiful Sunflower Round. I can’t wait to see your projects!!

Sunflower Round Supply List
- Cutting Machine and software
- Sunflower Round (click on the link)
- Masking Vinyl (like oramask or starmask or mylar
- Prepped MDF board – I cut the sunflower outline overlay on the Glowforge. However, vinyl works too!!!
- Stain or paint of Choice – I painted the round grey and white. The sunflower I used black and then yellow for sunflower
- Sand paper or sanding block – to prep your round
- 18″ Round or round to your size
- Painters tape
- Brushes and Make-up sponges – get my from the Dollar Tree
- Ribbon and floral to finish your round
- Staple gun
- Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, transfer tape, etc
Video Tutorial – Sunflower Round

Here are the steps I took to make the Round

Step 1 – Prep your board by sanding it. Find your board center and then use painters tape to mark your line. I then painted the one half grey. I had to mix paint for my grey. I didn’t have anything light enough. I used a heat gun to speed of drying. Once the grey is dry, tape that side off and use white to do the bottom half.

Step 2 – While everything is drying(if needed). Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the sign according to the board you will be working with. Use your masking vinyl or mylar to cut out the sunflower petals. Then cut your sunflower outline in either wood or vinyl.

Step 3 – Once your stencil or mylar is cut do your weeding. Remember you are weeding the parts you will be painting. Mylar is great for making reusable stencils. If you are using vinyl for your sunflower outline weed that now and use transfer tape on the vinyl.

Step 4 – Lay your stencil or mylar on your round. Since I was using a wood over lay I used it to help me line everything up. If used vinyl you can do the same thing, however, use a piece of parchment paper. Remove the backing to the vinyl and then lay it on the parchment so it doesn’t stick. Line everything up and apply the stencil mask or mylar. Note: you can paint outside your lines, I know…it’s ok on this one to go outside the lines. The vinyl or wood will cover it.

Step 5 – Now paint the sunflower leaves. I used a make up sponge. TIP: Light paint and light handed goes a long way. If you put too much paint on the sponge or are too heavy handed you will cause bleeding. I went over my leaves a couple of times. It did not take any extra time and it dries faster this way.

Step 6 – I set my round to the side and painted my Sunflower outline and Hi black.

Step 6 – I then applied the wood to the top of the round. If things don’t line totally back up?? It’s ok. You can always touch up with a little paint. Nobody will notice. I had to “touch” up a few spots myself.

Step 7 – Now to make a bow and add your floral. I used 4 kinds of ribbon for the bow. I cut 2 strips of each about 15″ long. You can watch the video for this portion. I also had a piece of floral wire read to tie off the bow. You could also use a zip tie. So take each piece of ribbon and fold two thirds of it into a loop. Leave a third hanging. Pinch where the loop meets. Then do the same with the next piece of ribbon. Do this until all 8 pieces are looped and pinched in your hand. It should look like a ribbon bouquet at this point. Now take your wire or zip tie and tie it off where you have it pinched. Now fluff. I pulled the tails out to the side and fluff the loops. NOTE: If you dont want to do a pow you could use a larger sunflower in its place and fill in the florals more.

Next take your florals and your staple gun and apply to the round. I used ¼” staples. You are probable wondering why staples vs glue, that is due to heat. I have had florals fall off and I am not a light handed gluer either. I have a North facing door so the heat can get crazy. You could do the glue and then add the staples. If just makes sure that if you are selling your round you dont have to worry about fall off. Once I had my florals I added the bow.

Step 8 – Look how pretty!!!! Enjoy!

Fall Is My Second Favorite F Word
Happy September! Hard to believe fall is around the corner. Here in Wisconsin some of the leaves are changing already. I do love fall, however, not quite ready to give up the summer attire! However, let us have some fall humor with the fun design. This week I am sharing with you Fall is my Second Favorite F Word Design.

Fall Is my Second Favorite Fword

I used some pretty metallic heat transfer vinyl to make a long sleeve shirt. This would also be fun for a sign for you desk or wall as well!!! You could also use it for a cute tote too! This weeks FREE FALL IS MY SECOND FAVORITE F WORD SVG/Cut files can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 50. I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made my shirt and some pointers! Remember to please share what you created! Check me out on Facebook and Instagram and remember a pintrest pin is always appreciated!!

Fall is my Second Favorite F Word Supply List
- Cutting Machine and software
- Fall is my Second Favorite F Word (click on the link)
- Heat Transfer Vinyl of choice – I purchased mine from 143vinyl.com
- Heat press or Easy Press
- Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, etc
Video Tutorial – Fall is my Second Favorite F Word

Here are the steps I took to make my Rhinestone Shirt

Step 1 – Upload the free file into your cutting software. Size it to your preference and cut.

Cutting notes….I used weeding boxes around my words and leaves. I find it is easier to weed and I have less.

Also, when cutting heat transfer vinyl you need to mirror the image. Also, make sure you are putting the vinyl on your mat the proper way. I like to think of it as pretty side down.

I always do a test cut. No sense in wasting precious vinyl!

Step 2 – Weed your vinyl

Step 3 – Let’s press our HTV to our shirt. Find the center of your shirt. I like to fold mine in half and give it quick few seconds press. Once you have your fold lay the shirt down on the press. Because I cut the saying in different color I laid everything out on the shirt first using my centering line for placement. I did fold favorite in half to find the center and help me lay it out. Once I had the placement where I wanted It I took everything off but fall and favorite. This is due to those words being key for lining everything up again. Make sure when pressing the vinyl that your carrier sheets are not overlapping each other. I then pressed the first words for a few seconds. Just enough to get the vinyl to release. Metallic vinyl is a cold peel. So cool your vinyl down. Once it is cool enough to peel remove it from the shirt. Next, put the rest of the items onto the shirt and press. You can now do a full time press on the shirt. Once that is done, again, let it cool and peel the carrier sheets off. I did give the shirt one more press for a few seconds to make sure I could see some fibers in the vinyl.

Step 4 – Enjoy your beautiful shirt!!!
