🎥 How to Rescue an Old HTV Shirt and Make a Bet

🎥 How to Rescue an Old HTV Shirt and Make a Better Quality Screen Printed Version 🎥 ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Wait... don't throw out all of those old HTV shirts! With a little VLR (link in stories), you can remove the vinyl and reuse the shirt! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Replace HTV shirts with screen printing and you no longer have to worry about peeling. Once you heat set the screen printing ink (not shown in this video), the ink is permanent on your shirt. It will hold up wash-after-wash! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you are ready to make the switch to screen printing with your Cricut or Silhouette, send me a DM and I'll tell you everything you need to know to get started! ⁠⠀

Do you see this iron-on vinyl peeling up? THIS is the reason why I started screen printing. ⁠
⁠
I hated gifting or selling a shirt that I knew wouldn't hold up long term. ⁠
⁠
Did you know there's a better method for making shirts with your Cricut or Silhouette??? ⁠
⁠
If you've been thinking about switching from HTV to screen printing, send me a DM and I'll share a link to some helpful beginner's tips. ⁠
⁠
And, check back tomorrow because I'm going to show you how I repurposed this old HTV shirt and made a much better quality version! ⁠

Happy Saturday from my craft room to yours! There

Happy Saturday from my craft room to yours! There are a lot of new faces around here - so I thought I’d share some random things about me so we can get to know each other better. Let me know if we have anything in common ⬇️⁠
⁠
1️⃣ I have lived most of my life in Texas but I was born in Alabama and grew up in Tennessee. ⁠
⁠
2️⃣ I'm a #girlmom - they are 10 and 13 years old with very opposite personalities. ⁠
⁠
3️⃣ I grew up playing sports - played a lot of soccer, even in college, but neither of my girls like soccer. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do enjoy cheering them on in basketball, softball and volleyball.⁠
⁠
4️⃣ My closet is full of shirts I have screen printed. They are pretty much my daily wardrobe - perk of working at home.⁠
⁠
5️⃣ I am a craft supply hoarder (see my post from yesterday) but I still can't manage to finish a project without going to the craft store at least once.⁠
⁠
6️⃣ I can be really indecisive, but once I make a decision... I'm all in and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. Even if that means staying up all night to finish. ⁠
⁠
7️⃣ I fear public speaking. I would much rather show you how to make something than talk about it. I really stepped out of my comfort zone last year when I filmed my Beginner's Screen Printing Course. ⁠
⁠
8️⃣ I'm super passionate about being a #bossmom and #smallbusiness owner. Between craft projects and screen printing tutorials, I hope to share some of my experiences to help you grow your business.⁠
⁠
Your turn... share something random or tell me where you're from! ⁠

Scissors ✂️ 🙈 I probably have at least 10 pairs of regular scissors on my desk...and I'm always tempted to buy a new, sharp pair when I'm at the craft store 🤣⁠
⁠
I could probably also add Screen Printing Ink to this statement but I don't think that's an unhealthy obsession 🤣🤣🤣⁠
⁠
Your turn... what are you guilty of hoarding in your craft space???⁠

WAIT... before you screen print on 100% Polyester, I have some tips for you!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As you can see the orange ink did not turn out well! I just posted a new YouTube video (with audio) where I explain this project in more detail so you can get better results on dri-fit type shirts. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Head to the my stories or pigskinsandpigtails.com/blog to learn all about mastering polyester material!⁠⠀

I've had a lot of questions recently about 100% polyester or dri-fit type material. While you can definitely screen print on it, I have a few tips for you. ⁠
⁠
I'm finishing up a blog post and video that I'll share tomorrow with all of the details... including one example of what NOT to do! ⁠
⁠
If you've been thinking about personalizing workout gear, you won't want to miss this one. Check back tomorrow!⁠

Did you catch my video yesterday where I screen printed these mouse pads? ⁠
⁠
This is another one of those projects where screen printing really beats out HTV. The mouse pad soaks in the ink, leaving a smooth feel so your mouse won't catch.⁠
⁠
Thinking about switching from HTV to screen printing? I've got a bunch of resources and tips to help you get started! Send me a DM and I'll share the link with you! ⁠

If you are loving screen printing, leave an emoji in the comments that explains how you feel about the process 😍 ⬇️⁠
