Step 1: DesignĪs always when it comes to vinyl cutting, your first step will be to create your design. Very reasonably priced, the Iron On Glitter is high quality and doesn’t start disintegrating after a couple of washes like cheap glitter HTV. You’ll occasionally be able to buy them in bulk on Amazon in rolls of 12 inches by 120 inches. They come in rolls measuring 12 by 19 inches and can be used with all Cricut cutters. There are a total of 31 colors of Cricut Iron On Glitter available, with everything from aqua glitter to white glitter, from glitter bronze to glitter multi pink. The Cricut Iron On Glitter vinyl is probably the most popular of their HTV range and you’ll quickly be able to see why - these bad boys are SPARKLING. Let’s have a look at the merits and differences between them. Types of Cricut Iron OnĬricut have created an array of different Iron-On vinyls to fit a range of different projects. Unlike cheap HTV which you can buy anywhere, Cricut Iron-On is always the same thickness and same high quality, guaranteeing the best, most accurate cuts. This material has been tested and optimized specifically for Cricut cutters and will always be the best fit for your machine. HTV is widely available relatively cheaply from a number of stores, both online and in person, but if you have a Cricut machine, it’s well worth sticking to Cricut Iron On Vinyl. Just like with normal vinyl, you’ll create your iron-on design in Design Space, cut it using your Cricut machine and then, using either an iron, heat press or the Cricut EasyPress (either the original or EasyPress 2), adhere it to your fabric. Like the name suggests, it’s vinyl that you’re planning to adhere to fabric - whether a t-shirt or cushion - or sometimes even wood or metal. Cricut Iron On is the company’s very own heat transfer vinyl (HTV).
