9 Heat Transfer Ideas + Silhouette Discount + Giveaway

heat transfer ideasI know you’ve seen it everywhere….Heat Transfer is quite the popular material to craft with! Its easy to use, machine washable, and holds up well after a lot of wear. Yes, I know from experience! My boys are tough on clothes and some of the shirts you see above have been worn for 2-3 years between my two boys with little signs of wear.

I love using heat transfer to make custom shirts for my kids, create my own home decor, holiday crafts, and update my wardrobe.

9 Heat Transfer Ideas

  1. Deer Head Pillow
  2. Gold Heart Elbow Patches
  3. Gold Heart Onesie
  4. Mickey Mouse t-shirts
  5. Wing Man shirt
  6. Helicopter Dude Shirt
  7. Bunny Butt Shirt
  8. Halloween Holiday Decoration
  9. Incredibles Shirt

That’s just a handful of the Heat Transfer crafts I’ve done over the last few years. As you can see, with a Silhouette and a little heat transfer, you can do a lot!

    I’ve never used these heat transfers but I have used the ones from craft stores that you just print on, not always the best method but it gets the job done!

    I’ve used heat transfer twice! The first time I made shirts for my parents a surprise for their craft business so that they looked sharp at trade shows! The second time I made fun shirts for my girls trip to Chicago for St. Pats!!! I’d love to make some more though!!! I recently found out that a co-worker is expecting twins and I’m already dreaming up cute onesies!

    I have never used one of these machines, I make stencils the old fashioned way.

    It takes forever to trace letters and try to space properly and cut them out. Sadly only a few uses later, the paper gets distorted and you have to make the paper stencil over again. I would love one of these machines.
