    I told you last week that I’d show you my fun project using the Silhouette Heat Transfer material. I chose to put my MRL logo onto a tote bag.

     

    show-registration-marksI uploaded my images (saved them to library). I then flipped them horizontally. When you do a print & cut feature, you need to use registration marks.

     

    print-using-printerAs I choose “cut” on the Silhouette tool bar, I get this popup, where I choose “click here to print”

     

    printingYou will actually be “printing” on your printer. (oops, looks like someone needs to buy some more ink!)

     

    heat-transfer-printingI placed the media onto my printer.

     

     

    cutting-matAfter printing, I used my light hold cutting mat to attach the media so I could insert it into my Silhouette.

     

     

    detect-registration-marksYour machine will need to detect your registration marks in order to know where to cut your images.

    Make sure your settings are set on Heat Transfer Material.

     

    cutting-heat-transfer

    This is after the Silhouette cut my images. That little string is from the little box that I had the silhouette cut around my image.

     

     

    silhouette-heat-transfer-iron-onI cut the image out with my scissors, then peeled away the excess media.

     

     

    silhouette-iron-on-cottonThe directions say to use fabric between the iron on, and the iron. My choice of fabric is always drop cloths, but I think it was too thick because after peeking, I could see there was no magic happening.

     

     

    iron-on-Silhouette-heat-transferSo, I just ironed onto the media.

     

    Be sure to let the iron on cool before removing it.

     

    blog-logo-iron-onI ironed my image onto a tote bag. It’s small, and a little fuzzy because my original image was not hi-res enough.

    The iron on heat transfer was easy, and I love how it feels on the bag. This application would be great for a shirt for your kids, or it would make a great Mother’s Day Gift.

      This is so cute...I am going to have to do this with my logo!

      I did not realize that if I just import images and don't do anything else, that after it printing it will cut out right around the images. I know I am missing out on A LOT that this machine can do! Love that you do these little "how-to's"!!
