How To Personalize Stuffed Animals With Cricut
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- Hey Cricuters, welcome back to my channel. My name is Kerri. Today I'm going to be showing you guys how to put heat transfer vinyl onto a stuffed animal. A while back I made a video talking about how much money i made in my third month in business with my Cricut machine. That video blew up it has over 200,000 views right now and I have gotten an overwhelming amount of comments asking me how do you personalize your stuffed animals? So many people don't know that you can do this and it's so easy so today I'm going to show you guys how to personalize two stuffed animals. I chose these for a specific reason one has long shaggier fur and one has short, not shaggy fur. The type of fur does make a difference. Making personalized stuffed animals is one of my favorite projects to do. It's really easy, the projects come out cute and kids love them. They're also a great seller if you have a vinyl business / craft business. Personalized stuffed animals make great gifts for kids to sell during Valentines day. They are also a perfect Cricut Easter project because you can personalize Easter bunnies by adding names to the ears.

Aug /22 - Just came across your videos. I have to tell you that you are a fantastic instructor, you give all the details with clear instructions, and make it simple. I am reading and listening to as much as possible before starting a business to supplement my pension income. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me! Now that my kids are back in school I'll be posting SO much more! Stay tuned 😊
Great video.
Thank you!
Thank you! I heard on another video that HTV isn’t a good idea for anything shaggy…..thank you for showing a way as I see lots of cute stuffies that are shaggy!
I'm pretty sure I watched the video you're talking about and I eye rolled so hard when I saw them not recommend elephants
You are the best!!!!!
Aww thank you! 🥲🥰
Love you 💗
🥰
That helps alot I have made few stuff animals with names on them
Idk why I'm just seeing this comment now, sorry for the delay! I'm glad you found it helpful 😊
You got a new subscriber lolz love it
Thanks for subbing! I'm glad you like my content!
This is exactly what i wanted to search for after watching your money video xD than i opened a new youtube page and it was on the home page! UA-cam recommendation works well once in a lifetime! xD
Hahah thank you UA-cam algorithm 🙌
Love these where
Thank you! There's links to materials in the video description
If you type universal or generic Cricut tools or supplies you will find scissors just like the cricut brand they also have mats and other tools that are great quality but at a much better price thanks again❤️
Totally agree! Some of my most favorite cricut tools are from the Dollar Tree! I love their pink scissors and weeding tools.
I feel inspired!! I really would like to buy a Cricut, but I’m new to all of this. What Cricut do you recommend? Can a Cricut Maker be enough or should I invest in the Cricut Maker 3?
Thank you for your clear instructions! I am considering a Maker 3, and was searching for reasons to buy one. Found your channel, love the personalization idea. Have you ever melted the "fur" on your stuffed animals when ironing?
Aww thanks so much! No, I've never melted a stuffed animal!
I really would love if you could compare materials...how many passes for each material on the Cricut and also show how you weed each type of material.
I have problems with weeding and cutting.
Thank you so much. 😊
Hi after watching your videos I made a small investment in gnomes and 2 other plushies …. I started with family and friends and in one day I had 2 orders … I felt defeated ….But I have 6sales in two days … just by sharing photos and mock ups and pic of the gnomes I took at home …🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏽🤞🏾🤞I hope I do well …thanks for your help and guidance ❤️❤️❤️❤️ also pure acetone removes vinyl off fabric … but try to test a small area first
Why did you feel defeated with 2 sales in a day? Plus 6 more a few days later. That's great! You should feel PROUD! 👏
Love this so much! Thank you for sharing! How can the stuffed animal be washed without messing up the vinyl?
I never wash our stuffed animals but I would just tell people to spot clean. You should be able to wash it without anything happening to the vinyl though. I would more worry about the stuffed animal turning into a sponge
I’m a newbie with a Cricut. My question is when you went to take off the covering over the letters you said it might be a cold or hot peel. Which is better and does it say which peel it is?
If you use an easy press mini what setting would you use for flock ? And the dinosaur and dinosaur font are so cute. 🙂
Hmm not sure. Probably the second one for less time, like 15 seconds. The easy press mini gets so much hotter than my hand iron.
Hi there!! 👋👋👋 you always help me by answering my questions. I finally got the courage to use flocked vinyl. When it cut, it was fuzzy around every letter😳 very fuzzy. Not a clean cut at all. Mind you, I'm using my new cricut maker with new blade. 🤷🏽♀️ where did I go wrong??? Thank you 💞
I'm sorry, I'm not sure! I haven't had that problem. Are you trying to make small cuts with it? The only thing I can think of is maybe if it's small intricate text or the blade is dull
👋👋👋👋🥰🥰🥰 Hello again! Still learning here. Question ... I noticed these 2 name projects weren't welded. Is it not necessary? Thanks so much always!!! You're a great cricuter 😊 💞
hi again! great video! i was wondering where you get your stuffed animas from? I know you said five below, amazon, and walmart, but i can never seem to find any good, inexpensive ones. Thank you!
EDIT: I just got back from walmart and found some cute stuffed animals! Thanks Kerri!
Glad you found some! You can also check places like CVS and Walgreens
I really loved this video! Thank you so much. It was so helpful. I’m trying to personalize a bunny 🐰 and definitely help a lot. I just want to clarify something, the flocked can be used for both types of stuff animals? Thank you 😊
It can but I don't think flocked would work very well on small intricate lettering like I use on the elephant ears. I use Siser Easyweed HTV for the birth stats on the elephants
And thank you!!
Here I go again 🤗 would you know if these iron ons can be used on squishmallows, also from Five Below? They are super, super soft. Thanks💗
I think it would work but I've never tried
Hi there! How do you use the VLR solvent on plush animals?
I would pour a little on a q-tip and rub it until it lifted off
hi kerri thanks for the video, just wondering is it last after a few wash?
Honestly I don't wash our stuffed animals, I just spot clean if needed. So I'm not sure how it would hold up in the wash. I have shirts that I've made with the same vinyl and those hold up forever.
Love all of your videos. You are awesome. Where did you get the baby stat layout for the unicorn? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks
I designed it myself
And thank you 🥰
Where did you get your stuff animals? You are Awesome
Aww thanks! I get them all over. Amazon, Five Below, Walmart
Hello. Great video as always. What's the best mat to use for Siser htv vinyl? Strong or standard...I see some even use light grip. But I'm referring to the Siser glitter htv. Thanks!!
You can use any of the 3 with htv! Standard probably works best
@@Cricuter Thanks!!
Hello Carrie! I am going to make one of the Easter baskets you suggested for my grandson and I was wondering if you had a suggestion of how to put a two initial name on the bunny without it looking odd.
I would probably do first and last name instead
THANK YOU
First, this video is amazing! Thank you! I am going to do something like this on a few stuffies my LO got on a recent trip, but instead of her name I’ll do the place and date.
Quick question though, one of the stuffies has longer fur than the unicorn… is there a certain length that this would not work on? I don’t want to ruin her stuffie it the fur is too long. TIA!
Love that idea! Glitter vinyl works great on ones with longer fur. I've never ruined a stuffed animal. But the shorter the fur, the better.
Do you really prefer Teflon sheet or would you compare parchment paper?
I've never used parchment paper so I'm not sure
Have you tried sublimation on flock htv?
no
This is fab. Lols at not ironing your clothes... I'm the same. I'm based in the UK, which iron setting did you use? Also, would you still recommend the mini press if I already have a mini steam iron as well as a regular clothes iron?
Thank you! I use the blend setting on my iron. I honestly wouldn't waste my money on the mini press. A clothes iron works just as good. Make sure there's no steam/water in it though! It must be dry.
FYI, if you're in the UK you have to do CE / UKCA testing of these after you've modified them, as you are then the manufacturer. This is even if the toy you've bought had the CE / UKCA mark to begin with.
Wanted to point it out as I didn't realise at first and could have gotten myself into legal trouble if I had made and sold any!
That's good to know. Could you sell it as a keepsake instead of a toy? Like nursery decor?
@@Cricuter it's a grey area, but not really. Anything that has "play appeal" should be tested. You've got more ability to sell it as a keepsake if it's made of clothing, for example.
Also applies to things like keychains if they have a little doll or something else that a child might decide to play with!
I'm still learning all the rules, and I haven't even got my cricut yet 😂
Thanks for the info Emily. Any idea of where they get tested in the UK and cost please?
Very new to cricut!! What setting do you put your iron on?
Hand iron or mini press? Hand iron is cotton blend
Thank you so much for your great video! If I were to try to do this on Etsy, are you aware of any copyright rules I should be aware of?
Not that I know of but I have a video about copyright laws on my channel you may find helpful ua-cam.com/video/scfd9WjiHpA/v-deo.html
Do you have a preferred brand for the teflon sheet? I did not see it listed on your comments. Thank you!
Not really I just buy whatever is cheap on Amazon. They're all pretty much the same. amzn.to/35mhsdi
Love the jokes!!
Thank you!
Os the glitter vinyl flocked?
No, glitter and flocked are 2 different types of vinyl
Hi - how do you create an iron on that is 2-3 colors? I am new to cricut ...
Sorry it took me a while to reply, I haven't been on here all summer. I just made an elephant tutorial and I show how to do the 2 colors. ua-cam.com/video/v2tN_Z75e3Y/v-deo.html
Thanks for the tutorial! I love personalizing stuffed animals. I am just getting started. I typically try to find short-fur animals, but struggle to find many of those. Do you have any specific places that you like to buy those from? I love a lot of the longer-fur animals, but I worry that the vinyl will not last. If I am going to start selling these, I want to make sure I am creating a product that will last. Do you ever have issues with vinyl not staying on the long fur?
The shorter fur ones are definitely better. I like the bedtime originals line on Amazon. I just posted a tutorial on how to make an elephant and there's links to the animals in the video description ua-cam.com/video/v2tN_Z75e3Y/v-deo.html
But to make you feel better I do have longer fur stuffed animals with glitter vinyl on them that still look great after many years with kids!
Where can I find the dinosaur font?? It’s adorable!
I put a link in the video description 😊
Hi, looking to purchase a circuit for the first time to do this project, which machine do you suggest? Would the circuit joy be best for the elephant project?
I prefer the Cricut Maker. I made a video comparing all the different machines. You can check it out here ua-cam.com/video/-L_duM6k5VY/v-deo.html
The Cricut Joy is my least favorite machine out of them all. If you're on a budget I'd go for the Explore Air 2
Does anyone know what setting can work for the flock vinyl on the Cricut explore 3. There’s no option for flock htv
I'm sorry I'm not sure, I don't have an explore air 3.
Hi can you please tell me what box you use to sell the elephant in?
A bubble mailer envelope from the Dollar Tree
Ya know, I would really love to know what I could do with a Cricut Maker 3 instead of the Maker. (Maybe if you were to get one from Cricut you could educate us 😉)
I wish! Cricut has never sent me anything! 😔 there's not much of a difference between those 2 machines other than being able to make long projects with their smart vinyl. So think big wall decals, signs and banners
Where did you get that pink elephant ?
