 Hey guys, this is Jen from iCrayCrafts. In today's video, I'll be showing you how to create these cute Valentine's Day towels I use Dollar Tree towels and some white flower sacks. These are so easy and very inexpensive to create. So let's get started So I found these files on design bundles I'll leave the links below in case you're interested, but I have to say these gnomes are so stinking cute They will be a bit more work with dink cute They will be a bit more work with doing the htv and the multiple colors, but they're so stinking cute I can't help but want to do it So the only thing I need to do is change the size of these files and maybe the color a little bit So I'll tell you one thing for this guy here the gnomes. I'm actually gonna show you really quick I'm gonna shrink my screen. I actually took the time and I How do I explain it? I put all the colors together So I'm gonna make my screen bigger and show you guys what I mean So I took it and I can do a video on this if anybody's interested But I just didn't want to waste anybody's time if you know how to do it But I just basically took all the red colors and attach them all the pink colors and attach them all the white all the little hand colors All the gray and I attached everything together that when I cut it out on htv I don't have to take each individual piece and put it together So it's gonna make it so much easier for me when I cut it out and I put it on to my Towels, but I just wanted to be honest with you and tell you that's what I did So it's gonna be a little bit easier for me So for this part this one I'm not going to resize I'm actually gonna resize the one that I worked with down here But also I just want to resize this one quarantine Valentine vibes. Sorry guys We're still in quarantine, but Valentine's Day is coming up. So let's have a little bit of fun So the towels that I'm using I'm using tea towels or Flower sack towels as they're called from Walmart and then I also have dollar store Kitchen hand towels that I'm going to be using that are red So I know I'm going to be making a few of these so the first thing I'm gonna do actually is Make a duplicate of this one So I'm gonna go up here and push duplicate and I did that because I want to have one white And I want to have one red because my tea towels or my flower sack towels are white And I'll do a red one on there and then for the red towel. I want to do one white So with this one selected I'm going to go up to the color box and change it to white So that I can have two separate ones So the other thing I want to do is figure out this size so I Took the time and actually unfolded the Flower sack one and I ironed it really well And I made it look really neat because I'm going to be selling these you don't have to do that If you don't want to but I just took the time and did it and I figured out the size So the size is going to be about a four by four For both of my towels so with one selected I'm gonna go up to the unlock box and I'm gonna change it to be four by four Whoops, and it did not want to change on me for So that's the size that it's going to be so I'm gonna do the same thing with this one Click the unlock box and then change it four by four and by all means yours might not be the same as mine So make sure that you take the time and measure I take the easy route and I just take one of my mats and kind of hold it up to the Towel and see what size I can get out of it. So I'm gonna do the same for this I'm gonna select the whole thing and I'm gonna change it up here to four by four and we'll see maybe it'll be too small Not sure why it keeps doing that With it being a little bit small here the roses chocolate candy open daily I think maybe I'm just gonna stretch it a little bit. So since this is all one piece I'm just gonna take this double arrow and stretch it just a little bit Maybe it'll help it for when I cut it out be a little bit Easier to read but again, I'm just gonna do it just a little bit more Seeing how far I can get out with it and then we'll have to get the little heart So I'm gonna actually find the heart here on the side. I'm gonna look for one of the hearts here Let's see this one here and then just move. Whoops. Now. I missed it again Let's just do this so I'm gonna take him and just stretch the heart out just a little bit more To make it touch like it was before so you don't have to do this Is if yours isn't the same size as mine But I just thought it would make it a little bit easier to read and a little bit easier to cut out With it so this one is finished these two are finished and like I said I took the time and I selected all these together So I'm gonna make my screen a little bit smaller so we can see this one and Then I'm gonna take this one actually and resize this one. So this one's gonna be the four by four You don't know why it keeps doing that There we go. So I'm actually gonna delete this one because that was the original one I had I'll bring my screen back up to size and I'll show you guys what it looks like So it looks a little bit different than the one we were just looking at because the pieces are behind each other So there's many different pieces here as you can see But is this is what I'm talking about is I took the time and I put all of the colors together And I can move it now because I already have it the size that I wanted it So all the whites together all the grays together all the pink So when it cuts out instead of it being cutting out little hearts little pieces here and there It's gonna cut it all out as one whole piece So when I go to put it on my towel, it's gonna be much easier rather than me trying to figure out Where to place each piece so this that is totally up to you guys if you want to do that Like I said, I'll do a video on it if you're interested in seeing how I did that Basically, I just clicked on it held my command button down and then I clicked on each color that I wanted to keep so You just have to watch how you put this on together But it'll cut out just like this. So I'm gonna cut this out as it looks I'm gonna show you what it looks like. So I'm gonna click make it and It's gonna bring up all of my stuff. Whoops somewhere. I didn't attach. I have to find this one Because I don't like it when it does it different. I like it when it's all connected together. So let's look Here I made a mistake too. So we're gonna go back and by mistake I mean I like it when it's all connected to each other and I don't have to worry about figuring out what How these words go together or what it's supposed to say So I'm gonna go ahead and cancel that and I'm gonna go and find it So I think it might have been this one loads of love You can see it's not attached down here. So it will cut out like the way we just saw And I'm thinking this one did it too. So I'm gonna go ahead and click attach And then knowing that I just duplicated this one. I'm gonna attach that too. So that should fix the problem So we'll see so I'm gonna click make it and we'll see if that helped So here are these two pieces in white Here's the gray part Oh, that's much better. So if you guys see what I mean, it's all one piece and you can see what it says too So I'm gonna just go down and check these. Yep, that's perfect. I got one little heart all by itself And then I got all the hands and everything there And there's part of the hat And there's the cute little feet in the red hat. So everything is perfect the exact way I want it And now that I'm going to be using htv heat transfer vinyl The thing you please please please remember I cannot stress enough is to mirror your image So I'm gonna go through each one of these and just click mirror so that I don't forget later on when I'm doing this I've made the mistake way too many times and cut out way too many things and Forgot to mirror it and then I'm like shoot. I got to start all over again So I've wasted a lot of htv that way. So if you're using heat transfer vinyl, please make sure that you mirror it And I'm gonna move this over a little bit I just try to allow myself a little bit of room with my scissors to get into each piece But I think all these other ones are are okay with each other So the next part you're gonna want to do is um, I'm gonna click continue and I'm gonna show you what mine looks like Can you guys tell me if your screen looks the same as mine or if it's different because I have the maker I'm always telling people how to do this next part But I'm never sure if you see this part So could somebody please comment down below if you see this part on your screen or if it's different because you might have a Different machine than me. Um, I did have the explorer Probably about two years ago and it broke and I upgraded to the maker So they didn't have the screen at that time. So I'm just curious to know what you guys see So this is what I see. I'm just curious if you guys see this So what I use for my uh, base material is I use this Iron on heat transfer non cricket. If you guys are subscribers of mine, you know, I don't really use a lot of name brand Um materials so I don't use a lot of cricket. I buy whatever is on sale So I'm just gonna go ahead and click this one It's gonna tell me I'm gonna have to do a white gray black red. Oh boy. There's lots of them on here But I'm gonna go ahead and cut this out I'll weed it out and then I'll show you the next step of putting it all together and showing you how to put it onto Your towels and I'm also going to use my heat press for it. By all means you could use a Uh, cricket easy press or an iron, but I upgraded to my heat press and I'm never going back So um, stay tuned guys. I'm gonna finish this up and then I'll show you the next step So I'm taking dollar tree Um towels This is just a regular dollar tree towels says polyester and it's red and then here is the cut out of the Gnomes. I love this. I think it turned out so cute. Let's see if I can find the other one really quick Here's this one that I did Um, I turned out so stinking cute. I absolutely love it But there was a lot of layers to this so you can skip this one if you want or you can do it But I figured I show you guys the whole thing So I put this together how it looks and I'm just gonna start from backwards. I mean, there's many layers like I said Um, I put them together so each layer each color would be a layer So here's like the white for the or the cream for the noses And then I have the white for their beards their pink for the hearts The red for the feet. So there's a bunch of Layers on here. So I'm just gonna take it and go backwards and start my way that way So, um, I'm gonna I have my heat press set at 315 for 30 degrees Um, by all means you guys don't have to use a heat press But if you know my channel, you know, I love my heat press and I always talk about it So if you have an iron, you can use an iron that way or a cricket easy press Um, but I have the heat press so I have it laid down and I'm just gonna hold it down for a couple seconds Just to get it nice and warm kind of preheat it to make my Uh, decal stick to it. So it's just nice and preheated heated now. I'm gonna take my Um, decal and I'm gonna work backwards So we're gonna peel the back one off because I already put it all together And the first one is just red hat and then his feet Unfortunately, this is the second time I cut this out. So it's going to be red on red But what are you gonna do? So I have it on here I'm just measuring to make sure it's in the middle and everything Then you want to take your parchment paper or your protective covering whatever you might have Put it on top of there and then press it for the 30 seconds Boy again. I love you guys. I hope you guys stick through this video because This is the second time I'm doing this But I'm always honest with you guys and I'm always truthful and um, I wanted to give you guys a good video Instead of voicing over it. I wanted to give you a good video. So As we wait for this, I can just show you this quick again So this one was quarantine valentine Vibes I thought that was pretty cute and kind of funny and I love the red with the white So this is going to be finished in one second Pull it up Pull your paper away and then carefully pull back your Covering and this is the glitter Um htv I don't know if it shows up too well in here, but I love it. So that's just one part We have a lot more parts to go on this again. I'm going to be working backwards from the way that I have this So I'm trying to hold everything together. So here's the front. I'm just going to take from the back piece again And it's another glitter piece. So this piece I'm going to be matching up with the feet So take your time with this match it up correctly and go from there But I'm just going to take my time really quick and find where it goes It is kind of more difficult because I am using The glitter and the red on red unfortunately, but We're going to do our best here. So I'm just looking to make sure I got it on there And again again, just take your protective covering or your parchment paper whatever you may have This is a little bit harder because I I turned my um pressure on a little bit higher So I'm I'm really have to push on this hard again rather than holding an iron down on this or an easy press I love this machine. I will leave the link below. I think the price went up a little bit from when I bought it I think it was like 175 dollars now went up to 199. I just looked yesterday So if you're interested in getting one, I'll leave the link below. It's definitely a great investment So this one is finished It's gonna pull it up And I'm sorry. This is a little repetitive. Um, normally I don't do more than one or two colors, but This is going to be a multicolored one So stick with me guys. Give me a thumbs up if you like this video I'm working really hard on this and this is my second time doing it So here you go. You got the two hats here. You have the feet on the bottom the legs here again, unfortunately, it's red on red, but I wanted to show you guys how to do it So again going back. I'm working backwards. So it looks like next Is going to be the beards if I'm not mistaken. So I'm just pulling it from the back Trying to find the one. Yep. The beard will be next So then the fun part Matching it up where you put the last one And again, I'm sorry. It is red on red I'll do my best to show you guys But I'm just matching it up here In between the feet with the beard up on top To get the correct distance With the beards And then once you have it where you want it Again, lay your paper down And then press it I'll fast forward this part. You don't have to sit here with me for 30 seconds waiting But I will be here if you need anything Okay, we are finished. I'm gonna pull it up I promise you this is not this difficult. It's just the multi layers on here that I chose to do This one, but I thought how cute and beautiful for Valentine's Day than some gnomes. Oh my gosh guys. I wish you could see this I really do love the glitter htv And then it has little hearts on here. Unfortunately, I'm gonna lose this I didn't realize it when I put it on. I need to put another hat on here So I screwed up on there. But again, like I said, I'm always on this with you. So Um, I gotta finish that part. So the next part is going to be Um, some hearts here and then also another pair of shoes. So if you can see that So I'm just gonna put that on I'm just layering and layering and layering And this one has the extra pair of shoes. So I'm trying to see where the shoes should go on here And then again your paper And press it These other ones are so much more simple to make. It's just the one color one thing on it. So it's just one time thing But I wanted to show you the step by step in case you're interested in learning how to do multi layers I do have this other one that I'm going to do as well. Um, maybe I'll just put this one on a white towel Like this I bought these teary towels or I think they're called flower towels from walmart Um, maybe I'll find another one. I'll press it. I'll make it nice and neat and then do Another gnome one on here instead of the red one. So it is done Oh a little too much pressure on here, maybe And sorry about my cat in the background. So I'm just pulling this off And going with the next layer Which uh, oh I misplaced it Is this the last heart here. So I'm just gonna put this one heart on here Because after everything is finished, they're all gonna be holding the hearts So bear with me guys. I promise I'm almost done. I'm gonna press this for another 30 seconds and then I'll be right back Okay, this part's done This is what I'm saying. The heat press is so easy. I'm not wasting my time. I'm not holding it down I'm not guessing the time you just push it down and let it do its thing So I did the last heart So the last part is actually the hands going on now So this is where I said it comes in handy when you just take all the colors and put it together So here are their noses and then here are their little hands what are going to be holding The hearts itself So I'm just trying to match it up here Here I'll show you guys what it looks like. So it's just like that. So their hands are holding the heart. So My gosh, this is so cute. I am glad I used that red htv. I really love how that turned out. So Last time put it over And that's it. So I'm gonna let this go again for 30 seconds I'm sorry guys for the repetition on this, but I really wanted to be honest with you I've been getting a lot of good feedback how people love how I take the time and I show you things step by step So I appreciate those comments. Please have them coming. I really do love reading the comments I love it when I see thumbs up I love it when people share this because I do put a lot of thought time and heart into all of my videos I do them all myself And I just love getting comments. So if you guys would leave a comment below So that is it. This was the last part that you had to do. So I'm just gonna peel back Carefully Oh my gosh guys, I wish you could really see this in person because it is cute Look at that. I love the glitter htv on their hat, which is amazing I love how that looks and I don't know if it shows up really well here. Maybe you can see it now Their little hands are hold. Oh, it's still hot Their little hands are holding the hearts and they have hats and they have little feet here with little legs I absolutely love how it looks. So this one is finished. I promise that was the hard one. So the other one That I cut out actually I cut it out too big This was the second time I cut it and the first time I did it came out pretty small So I'm like I need to make it a little bit bigger So I made it bigger and now it's too big for my towel So I'm going to put it on here if you guys can see this This wasn't this the special delivery one with the truck on the bottom with the glitter htv So I'm actually going to press this really quick. It is also polyester. It is an oven mitt On my last video I showed you guys how to do these but I'm just going to do this one really quick And I figured I show you Because this is the one I just cut out, but I'm just going to layer it again on here Put it wherever you'd like But make sure it's uneven And then just do the same thing. I'm still at polyester. So I have it set at 315 at 30 degrees and I'll do that piece First and then I'll go back and do the second one, which is This one the special delivery Loads of love. So I thought that was really cute. I do have the heart to go in between here so Again, sorry for the long video, but I want to be honest with you guys And I want to show you step by step how things are done. So I'm going to wait eight seconds for this to be done And I'll be right back. All right So now it's done. I'm going to pull this away. I'm going to peel this back slowly Oh my gosh, I love this Glitter htv look at that. Isn't that amazing? It is a little hard to see because it's unread. I know I know Please don't leave that feedback because I already know it's there and it's hard to read But I'm not going to waste it. So I'm just going to finish it up and then put this one on the top Center it again And then press it. But again, this is all you have to do For each one of your things that you're doing that you can do it in any towel You can do it on like a blanket. You can put it on a pillowcase, whatever you want But this is just the easy way to do it and I love how these turn out So I'm going to finish this up really quick I just have a few more towels to do and then I'll show you what they all look like after I'm finished But please leave me a thumbs up and hit that subscribe button if you like this video I'm sorry.
