Video Tutorial – Cancer Survivor with Ribbon

Here are the steps I took to make the shirt

Step 1 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your shirt. 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.

I also did 4 vinyl options.

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 I like to layer everything together prior to pressing. I organize them on how I would put them on the shirt. I did the ribbon first, then the word Survivor, then the word part about and below. the the final top and bottom layer.

Once I have everything layered I fold in half to find the center.

Step 5 – Lets make our confetti sprinkles. Take your old heat transfer and your plastic razor blade. I then scrap the decal off. I then placed the pieces in a cup. Once everything scrapped off you want to take your scissors and start cutting (watch the video for visual). I found that turning the cup to the side I could cut up more pieces. I cut all the pieces as small as I could get them. Remember…you want it to be sprinkle sizes

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.

Step 7 – Now lay your ribbon on the shirt. Remember to use the fold you made earlier to lay that on the fold you made in the shirt. 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.

Next the lay the survivor word down. Line that up on the center and in the ribbon. Only press for 2 to 3 seconds max. Remove the transfer sheet.

Now do the word section about and below survivor.

Then finally the top and bottom words.

Step 8 – Once all the layers are on do another press. Because I will do be sprinkles I did not do full time. Just abut 5 to 7 seconds.

Step 9 – Now for the sprinkles. I sprinkled the confetti all over the shirt. Some just like to frame, however, I wanted the party feel. Lay your parchment paper on top and press at the time and time of the heat transfer design.

Step 10 – Put the shirts on and wear it proudly!
