DIY custom ribbon with HTV vinyl
I love using HTV for my craft projects, but it was only recently I realised I can use it to decorate my ribbons. This is how to DIY your own custom ribbon with HTV vinyl.
What you’ll need:
- Ribbon (wider styles work best)
- HTV
- Cutting machine – Cricut or similar
- Heat press or Iron
- Weeding tools
- Teflon sheet
- SVG – try my free skulls design at the bottom of this post
How to make the custom ribbon
- First download the free SVG at the bottom of this post.
- Upload the svg to your cutting machines design space and size it to fit your ribbon. Remember to mirror the design for cutting HTV.
- Set your machine to cut HTV and let it run.
- Once cut, weed the HTV to remove the excess vinyl
- Place over your ribbon and position it correctly.
- Cover with a Teflon sheet and press with your iron of heat press.
- Leave to cool and remove the transfer sheet.
What can I make with the ribbon?
Use the ribbon to make a bow as I have done. Which can be used for gifts or as a hair accessory or try these ideas:
- Garlands
- Banners
- Wands
- Key chains
- Gift tags
- Place settings
- Bookmarks
