How To Apply Heat Transfer Vinyl To A Veil

Personalised wedding veils are the perfect hen party accessory for any time of the year. I have seen them on Etsy and they sell really well. You can personalise them to say anything that you want, but typically they say soon to be or bride to be. However, you can personalise the veils to say whatever you want. In this blog i will show you step by step how you can apply Heat Transfer Vinyl To A Veil. This will allow you to personalise veils for a hen party or even a wedding.

Step 1

Head over into cricut design space, select the text option and start to type in the text that you wish to put on the veil.

Select the font that you wish to use for the text. I used a font that i had purchased and uploaded into cricut design space.

Selecting the font i wish to use for text on the veil.

Try to choose a different font for 'soon to be' and 'Mrs Smith'. I tried to chose a plain font for 'Soon to be' and a more romantic font for 'Mrs Smith'.

Position the text as you want it to appear on the veil. When you are happy with the positioning, select all the text and click attach. This will keep all the text in position when you cut the vinyl. If you prefer you can also cut the text separate and position the text once it is on the veil. The choice is yours, i personally prefer to position the text in cricut design space and attach it together before cutting.

Step 2

Once you are happy with your chosen fonts you are ready to cut the vinyl. Select 'Make it'. You will now see your design on the cricut mat. This is showing where you need to place your vinyl. As you are using heat transfer vinyl at this point you need to mirror the text.

Step 3

Position the vinyl on the standard grip mat in the same place shown on the mat preview. Make sure it is secured down. I used a brayer to secure the vinyl.

Once your vinyl is on the mat, select the material you are going to be using. I always like to select premium vinyl when i am cutting vinyl.

I always set the pressure to be more so i get a good clean cut.

Step 4

Once the design has been cut out, the design will need to be weeded. Using your weeding tools, weed away any vinyl that you do not need as part of your design.

Step 5

Once the design is all weeded, position the design onto the wedding veil.

Once you are happy with the position of your vinyl design, turn on the heat press to start to warm up.

I used a heat press mini to heat the vinyl. I also used a teflon sheet to protect the veil.

Heat the design until you are happy that it is fully adhered to the veil. Remove the carrier sheet to reveal you finished design.
