 Hi guys, my name is Jen and I'm going to show you how to create these really cool pot holder mitts using something that I've never used before and I'm actually really in love with it. This is called Puff Vinyl. If you've never heard of it, this stuff is really, really great. Crazy. It gives you like a 3D effect. I'm not sure if you can see it on here, but it has like this puff on it like this. So it's Christmas time. I love doing Christmas gifts for people. So I thought I would just create this. So if you can see that on there, it actually is puffing up. So it looks like a 3D effect. So I just take a regular dollar store pot mitt like this and I just turned into this and I took these SVG files from Design Bundles that I purchased and I put in a whisk and then also some brownie batter mix as well. You can leave it just the way this is as well like this or you can add it like this, but it goes a long way and it looks absolutely amazing. So in today's video, I'm going to show you from start to finish how to create this. Great crafters. So you might already know how to do this, but if you don't and you're new to my channel, please follow along. So I'm going to go to upload here and I'm going to go right here to view all and I'm going to search in my search box up here Christmas. And I'm going to find some images that I really like. I really want to work with some of these, but there are some easier ones that I'm going to start with. So I'm just going to search. These are ones that I already purchased or uploaded into Design Space. So I'm just going to go ahead and find a few of these. This one's kind of cool if you know the movie. Just trying to find some easy ones that we could work with. I'm going to be using Puff Vinyl. I've never used it before, but I'm really excited to try it out. Most of these images that you're seeing right here, I purchased from Design Bundles. I absolutely love Design Bundles. They have so many amazing, SVG files so that if you're looking for something, I would highly suggest looking there. I'm just trying to find some easy ones that we can work with. Let's see. Let's keep going and see if there's a couple more. I'm just going to be putting these on Dollar Tree Hot Mat. So let's see. I think that's about good. Maybe this one. Just trying to find a few just to show you kind of different options. So I'm going to click those and I'm going to go to add to Canvas. If you're new to Design Space and you purchased from Design Bundles and you're not sure how to put it into Design Space, I actually have a video tutorial on how to do that. So go check that out. I will leave it in the description below. So this is what it looks like. I'm going to unclick to the side here. Get these individually and just take them and resize them a little bit so we can work with them. Sorry if you hear my dogs in the background. They are playing with each other. So I'm just going to resize these ones. Here we go. And I'm going to grab my pad. So it's actually called a pot mitt and it is 7x9. So a couple of things on here, if you want to change the color, you want to change the size. Although it's 7x9, I do not want to go over that. So if you take one of your mats and you put it up to it, you can kind of resize it or actually tell what the size is. So I'm going to grab my mat where we would like. And I'm going to just take it and hold it up to my mat or my pot mitt. And it's about 6x5, almost 6x that you can work with in this space. So I'm going to make sure up here that I'm not going to go over 6x6. So I like the size of that one. This one, I'm just going to bring it and make sure I don't go over the size. You guys can resize it any how you want. I'm just making sure I'm not going over that size. And you can use any design you want to. This one's cute, but it might be a little bit hard to weed because of this. I'm going to get rid of that one. Fun thing with this is you can pick and choose what you want to do and you can change the color on things however you like. So starting with some of these, I'm going to do a couple different colors on this one, maybe Merry Christmas. So it is already detached, but I'm going to go up here and group it. So that means that every, let's see if it will do every letter or the whole word, the whole word this does. So I would actually like to do Merry as in a red. So I'm going to go up to the color box, grab red, and then I'm going to go to Christmas here. And I'm going to change this one to green. And then I see the stars here are all together. So I'm going to push attach. So it's because I did attach, it's going to cut them out just like this. So I don't have to find where they go. Actually, I'm going to undo that. So right here, if you see the stars, they are not attached to each other, which means when you cut this out, it is going to cut out separately. So I'm going to change this to the yellow color really quick. And I love the way that it looks. I'm not going to change it. I love the size of it. And I'm not going to attach it because if you attach it, you're just going to change the color back to whatever color you start with. So I like how that one looks. This one looks like it's already attached together and you can't ungroup it up here. So it's going to be one simple color. I do have a red mat or sorry, pot mitts. So I'm actually going to change this to a white color. I'm really sorry if you heard my dogs in the background. And then this one, I think I'm going to leave black. And this one I'm not liking too much. So we're just going to get rid of that one. So that is basically it. You just want to resize it. You want to attach it. We're going to make sure, yep, just like I thought. So if we cut this one out, these pieces will cut out separately. So I'm going to go down here and push the attach button. So now when it cuts out, it's going to cut out as one whole piece. So I'm going to go ahead and click make it, turn my Cricut Maker on. And since we're using HTV or this puff vinyl, you always want to make sure that you mirror your image. So I'm going to go ahead and click mirror on each one of these. Here's the red mirror. Here's the stars. Just as I said, it is not attached. So they're all going to cut out separately like this. And then the last one is the Christmas. And then you just want to click continue. Here we are. So these are my base materials that I'm going to be using or that I use most often. I'm going to be using this heat transfer non Cricut. This is a puff HTV. So we're going to see how this turns out. I'm going to tell you the settings on what you're supposed to be using. But I'm going to go ahead and click this and I'm going to cut these out. I have the white, black, red, yellow, and the green. And like I said, I'm going to be doing on the puff paper puff vinyl, I should say HTV. So I'm going to be loading onto my mat. I will cut it out. I will weed this out. And then I will show you how to put it onto your oven mitt. All right. So I'm set up on my heat press. You can use a heat press. You can use an iron. You can use an easy press. You can use one of these little guys. Anything that you have is going to work as long as you have enough heat. So I have my heat press here. It's recommended to use this puff vinyl at 312 degrees between 20 and 25 seconds. So I have them on here ready. So this is what it looks like. It says happy holidays. And it's just a dollar store mitt. And then I just took it and put it in place where I want it to go. If you have multiple colors, you would have to do it multiple different times of pressing. Or if you have a problem with it staying down, you can use some heat tape as well. For this, I just eyeball it on here, put it on here and give it a little bit of a pressure because it's a little warm. So it's going to stick. So it's on there where I want it to go. Then you're going to want to use your Teflon sheet to go over it. If you're using heat press, easy press, iron, whatever, you always want to use a Teflon sheet. Then I'm going to close this for the 20 seconds. A little bit too much pressure on here. A little bit of pressure up. And press it for the 20 seconds. And then I'm going to show you what it looks like. I'm really excited. I've never used puff vinyl before. So we're going to see what this looks like together. Okay, so it's done. Go ahead and lift this up. Carefully take this off. And then carefully peel this off. And I can definitely see it already. Holy cow. Okay, that is really cool. I'm going to have to get a close-up of this. That is awesome. I don't know if it shows up on camera, but it definitely is. Oh, and you can feel it too. It is definitely, definitely puffy. It gives it like a 3D effect. I don't know if that shows up on camera, but really honestly, wow, that is cool. So I'm going to show you this one, the old fudge one. Nope, came right off already. Look at that. Oh my gosh. Guys, seriously, if you cannot see that, this is so awesome. Man, I wish I could show it to you. It literally has like a 3D effect on here. It looks like, wow, that is so cool. I don't even know how to explain it. It looks like it was even embellished on it. That is really cool. And you can feel it too. It's got a different feel than regular HTV wood. Wow, I'm impressed. Seriously, I'm really impressed by this. This is a puff vinyl. So it looks like that. And then like this, it's a lot thicker. And you can feel it too, that it's definitely puffing up. So the last one that I have, I wanted to show you really quick. The same thing here, but we have multiple colors. So it says the Merry Christmas and then it has all the stars all over. So what I did is I went in here and I cut a little bit of this off so that I could try to put all of these colors together in one shot rather than doing multiple presses. So I'm trying. And if you have to trim around your stuff, you can trim around it just as long as you don't get onto the file itself. You can trim around it. As long as your plastic is not touching each other anywhere on here, you are okay to put it in there. So I'm actually going to take this last star out. I'm going to use three stars instead, just like that. And then I'm going to use my Teflon paper and put this on. I'm really excited for this. I cannot wait to see what this one looks like. So I'm going to go ahead and press this one. And it is recommended to use a press. I was reading on that. So I mean, if you have like an easy press, you can use that. If you have a little one like this, you can use this. But you see, you only have a little bit of a area on here. So it takes a little bit longer. So I do really highly recommend a press. I'm going to be getting a new press and I'll do an update video on that. I'm really excited to receive that. So stay tuned for that. But this press I've had for a couple of years. Absolutely love it. It's the fancier studio ones 15 by 15. I'll leave a link in the description below in case you're interested. Absolutely love this. I'm gonna go ahead and lift this up. And oh my gosh, guys, I'm so excited. So here I'll show you before I even take it off because I can see that the plastic is already coming off. Oh wow, that is so, so cool. I honestly had no idea what to expect with this. That is really, really cool. So like this, I really hope this is showing up on camera because that is really awesome. It is literally puffing out. So there's that one. And then the other two cooled a little bit. So it looks like this. But honestly, I wish you could see it. It has a definite effect on it. That's really cool. So I'm going to finish these up and I'm actually going to put like a spatula in here and a thing of cookie dough in here so I can package up and sell it. But I'm going to show you what the final product looks like when I'm all done putting all this stuff in it. But overall, very, very happy with this puff vinyl. I have never seen it before, never tried it. And honestly, I love it. I think I'm going to keep doing it. So stay tuned. I'm going to show you what this looks like when it's all done. But very, very happy with this puff vinyl. Hi guys, my name is Jen. And I'm going to show you how to create these really cool pot holder mitts using something that I've never used before.
