I fan it too! 😄
Tanner is the only person who can say “hit the subscribe button” and I’ll actually listen! Thanks for the awesome & informative video!
When I’ve done layers, the bottom layer shrinks with the additional heat from the top layers. What are your suggestions for that? Thanks for the video!
That's never happened to us :) We don't see a change when layering, but if you do, maybe try heating on a lower temp or heating for half the recommended time :)
This happened to my first layering project. I think his tip of adding the top layer of plastic back might fix it. I have been scared to layer again because of it.
@@MakersGonnaLearn , dude this happens all the time. You have to adjust each layer. Some of us use a different press. If you cut each layer and put your first layer it will shrink! I put my first layer down and press 2-3 seconds just to tac it.
@@jasonbentley3557 but then how do you peel the backing off?
Tanner, I just want to say that your videos and cheerfulness have brought such joy to my life recently. I am a COVID RN, and throughout this dark time I needed to find a hobby that worked for me. I decided to splurge on a cricut, and I am so thankful I did. After a shift I watch your videos and decompress with crafts. This is just the start for me, but I have already learned how to make cups and T-shirts. I cannot wait to learn more. You truly are a joy and inspiration to us all. I would give anything to have live classes with you, my mom and I love your ideas and channel!
You're so awesome! Thank you for being so great at explaining and showing how to do this. I was kinda nervous about doing a layer project but you totally gave me the confidence to make it happen. God bless you, your great work and channel.
You have such a way of explaining things - thank you! Complete beginner but you took the daunting aspects away! Hooray!

You did such a great job explaining how to do layers!! Thank you so much and the use of using the large layer film is brilliant!
Glad you think so!
Love the hack for making sure design is centered. What do you suggest for making sure design is straight and not placed askew?
My biggest issue with layering is shrinking. I’m struggling to find the real solution to that
As long as you pre-wash your shirts and wash them properly, you shouldn't have any issues :)
Mee too. Lately I've been using a little less pressure and about 5 seconds on the 1st layer. Then the full time & pressure on the final press.
Thanks!!!! That was way easier than I thought it would be. Now to find the video on how to make layered cuts in design space .
Glad it was helpful!
Your Cricut will do it all for you! It will say how many layers your image is and tell you “Prepare the 1st mat” when you hit “Make it” and the will just cut them later at a time for you. When your done with your first layer cut it will say to prepare you 2nd layer and so forth. Just make sure your image is in separate colors on Design Space so Cricut will know you want separate colors. That’s what I’ve gathered so far anyway lol
Quick question...I watched a different UA-camr using a Cricut Design Space and she discussed colors and even showed it on her computer on the right hand side. Mine doesn’t show the colored dots next to images or lettering. I use a laptop. How do I find it or why isn’t it showing on mine? I’d love to do layering, but I can’t because I can’t group separate images.
You can change colors if your SVG is had different layers. If not, you can duplicate and contour out your design to make different layers different colors :)
Brill video, confirmed everything I needed to know... thanks,
I will be making a 3 layer unicorn t-shirt that I made on ds for my little girl tomorrow now 🙂
Sometimes my contours, cut in a way that when I layer them on a shirt they are a tad bit off in size and ill have space between vinly cuts that didn't seem to be on the screen. Is duplicate not exact or am I doing something wrong🤷.
yes duplicate is the exact :)
Seems like your vinyl is shrinking a bit.
Great video! Thank you for breaking it all down so nicely, going to attempt my layered shirt tomorrow 🤞🏼
You're welcome! Good luck!!
Thank you
You really explained how to transfer the images, but hoe did you design all these cutouts? What's the difference between vinyl & HTV? What exactly is HTV? Please excuse my ignorance, but I just received my very first Cricut Explorer Air 2 for Christmas and want to do this process. Is all vinyl & HTV material accessible for tee shirts or sweatshirts? Besides Cricut materials, what other materials are just as good, but cost effective? Can an iron, do just as well as the heat press?
Do you recommend pre-washing the shirt before you apply HTV?
Wow! You made that look so easy. I can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
i feel dumb but I still don't feel like they're going to line up right just using the vertical line when I do it! plus I am doing a fanny pack which I don't think will fold or crease
Thank you for this awesome video. Quick question... the recommended time for pressing is 30 seconds, so heating multiple layers for 30 seconds each doesn't damage the bottom layers of vinyl which end of receiving longer periods of heat?
I was wondering that too!
Hello, thanks for sharing. If you have two different types of vinyl that have two different press times and heat settings and you are layering, what takes precedence? Thank you.
GREAT question! The hottest setting should be used :) it's very hard to "burn" HTV but if it's not heated all the way through, that would be bad. Hope this helps! Happy crafting!
So you just ruin the integrity of the vinyl layers before the others by going the full 30 seconds. There’s a reason why they say diff times so you don’t run the adhesive that books to the fabric.
Can you do a full Tutorial on how you make the layers of the project,the entire formate from making each layer by size of flower etc etc on the screen to putting it in the Cricut
Well we do that in most every video, and you need to personally choose your colors and size the image to your personal shirt or whatever you're putting it on :) That is why we do not show it in this video
Question: when I did my layers like this the sticky side stuck to my previous layer and was trying to pull that color up when I tried to peel the additional layer. Why?
My htv will NOT stick. I’m using a tee shirt press. It’s lifting every time
I tried using transfer tape last night on Cricut everyday iron on for a design with multiple layers. It ended up not even sticking to the fabric when I tried to iron it on. Lesson learned!
You can't use regular transfer tape for HTV (Iron-On). Only use the included transfer sheet and take your time transferring each layer.
Does the second (and subsequent) layers not overheat the layers below?
Thank you so much. I'll b doing mine with an iron. Plus an explorer air 2. Making 2 shirts for my daughter n her best friend for their 100th day at school for kindergarten.
You're so welcome!
Such great tips! I'm making my first shirt but I want to add some htv on the back side too. Do I need to put something in between the shirt to protect the vinyl on the front side? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you so much! Love your channel.
Hello!! So, you actually don't have to add any protective layer between the 2. Great question! You're so sweet Janet!
I thought heating the vinyl to long would make the sticky go away. What type of vinyl do you use for shirts? Mine has not been staying on. By the way thanks for the tips and tricks.
We love Siser EasyWeed from 651 Vinyl! :)
Can you layer another piece of vinyl right on top of another piece of vinyl
Great video! Question how do you determine heat temperature when there are different types of HTV?
Having watched your video, feeling more confident at trying layering.
Yay! Thank you for watching!
How far down should the design be for a kid's shirt?
When layering HTV my base layer seems to get messed up, like the vinyl is getting crinkled or melting the more layers I add on. Has that happened to anyone else? Is my temp too high on my press? Base layer seems to be the only one effected. Thanks so much!
You may wanna crank your heat down a bit, or waiting a long while between layers might help.
The issue I'm having is my Cricut machine cuts my imagine just fine but when I go to weed the image, the transfer sheet (shiny side) isn't cut good because I cant get the image out without a fight. What could my issue be? I just replaced my fine point blade.
On cricut design space you can go to “manage custom materials” and increase the number by 2-4 at a time, test it and if you need to go back in you can adjust it until it’s right! :)
The reason I live your videos is that they are so clear and to the point! I know how to do it,in fact did my project while I watched you. Other channels make this a half an hour process. Thanks, Tanner!
You are so welcome!
I can't be the only one who has fallen in love with Tanner lol I just love him and his energy!
YAY! Thank you so much!😀
Yes I also love Tanner! ItNs always nice to learn with a great teacher that you love.
@@teddiev2720 Thank you so much!❤
Guilty 🙋🏽♀️😂❤️
I love how he says “right here” I’ve watched several of his tutorials even though I have a Silhouette instead of a Cricut. The principals are the same and his instruction is very easy to follow.
If I have words and a design do I just mirror the words?
This helped a lot!! Omg!! Thank you! Now I’m not as scared!
yay!!!!! Thats what we like to hear! So glad we could help
What is the difference between putting back the carrier sheet onto layering HTV and putting parchment paper instead?
It does the same thing. Feel free to use parchment, you just need some type of barrier between the HTV and your EasyPress.
to have a shadow on text, can you layer vinyl on top of vinyl to make the shadow?
If you'd like
When I used my household iron directly on my HTV, the plastic transfer part melted onto my iron. Do I need to use a towel or a barrier between the iron and the transfer part?
If you can, please invest in an EasyPress. You cannot properly Iron-On things with a household iron. They do not have even heating, and you never know how hot they can get. Even if your transfer doesn't melt, the HTV will not stick on your shirt as well as it would with an EasyPress.
LPrice I use parchment paper over it even with the easy press.
So you don't use a teflon mat to protect the shirt?
Thanks! Looks easy enough! I've been stuck on doing just 1 color! 🤣
You can do it! It's great once you get the hang of it! Thank you for commenting!
Same here lol! Thank you for your helpful video!
Looks easierb had my circut for 5wks still dont know how to layer bit this makes it easier now
Yay!
Why can’t people just get to the point
Are you using the same piece of transfer tape or did you also cut multiple pieces of that?
HTV comes with transfer paper built in :) We are re-using some pieces but we mention that in the video.
How do you avoid lines from the transfer sheets when layering? Pressing the entire image afterwards did not smooth out the lines.
This should not happen if used on the proper materials like cotton. To help avoid this on other more sensitive materials, lay a teflon sheet over your HTV before heating! Teflon Sheet: amzn.to/36Z6usA
What if you're putting a layer on top of another layer? ex: a face on a yellow circle to make a happy face
That is totally fine!! :)
How can i avoid the markings of the clear side when I iron the second layer over the first? It left an indented square from the cut out over my first layer.
This is a good question! These are hard to avoid. We like to use a teflon sheet instead of overlapping the transfer sheets too much. Try that next time! :)
This is great! You are adorable.
Awe thanks!
I did layered HTV on wood and my vinyl melted as I put on each layer. I used a teflon sheet over the entire design. I unfortunately had to use an iron because I don't yet have a heat press. How could I have avoided the melting?
It's not a great idea to layer HTV on wood. Also, you need to invest in an EasyPress, like the EasyPress Mini! Regular household irons do not work well with HTV. They have such uneven heat distribution, you never know which part of the design is heated/adhered properly because of this. Also you never know what temperature your Iron is actually at, making it hard to properly adhere your design. We HIGHLY recommend getting a Cricut EasyPress Mini: amzn.to/2zvjW9D for all of your HTV projects :)
Thank you for the wonderful tips for layering! Ready to try my first layering project. Where can I find those flowers that you layered? They remind me so much of Hawaii!
You are so welcome! Here you go, ma'am: makersgonnalearn.com/cut_files/floral-2/
I’m new as well and I’m soooo lost I thought this was going to be easy🙄😳🤔😯🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I’m so thankful for you and your tips! You’re amazing! I love watching your UA-cam channel! I’m so happy I came across it. I know prior on one of your UA-cam you said it was best to wash once prior to ironing on. Should I air dry shirt or dry in my dryer?
Awe thank you!!! When pre-wahshing, please throw it in the dryer! Especially for shirts, the point of the pre-wash is to shrink the cotton in the shirt, so drying is a good idea :)
Makers Gonna Learn thank you very much! 💕
thank you so much for sharing such an easy to follow lesson!
You're so welcome!
I absolutely love how you explain all the steps...you give me hope that I too can make pretty shirts as well
You can do it!
You are amazing, I am new and loving all your instructions. Thank you!
Yay! You are So welcome! 😊❤
Oh my gosh!! Great video! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Peggy! We appreciate you!
What is the name and brand of the vinyl you used?
Siser EasyWeed: bit.ly/3hjLgLP
You aren’t using butcher paper or a piece of cardboard between the front and back of the T-shirt. I thought that was standard. (New Cricut owner, so please forgive me if I’m getting this wrong.)
It is not required. Feel free if you'd like, but we haven't done it!
That applies to infusible ink not regular HTV.
Would you happen to know why some of my letters look wrinkled in some spots?
I used siser easy weed. Did I not press it long enough or did I use to much heat?
Any tips for "if I bought a non layering htv,(black). And its the bottom layer of the raider shield
Excellent tutorial. Love all the tips and tricks. I plan to start working more with have and infusible ink and appreciate all these tutorials and tips. Wishing you Tanner a super week. Hugs Susan
Thank you for watching! ❤
So I start watching your video and don't see an iron or ironing board
We do not use an Ironing Board. We use an Easypress and an EasyPress Mat :)
Thank you for this video! I was worried doing 30 secs per layer was too much but it wouldn’t stick when I did 15 secs. I had 7 layers too lol. I’ve also used parchment paper to protect the previous vinyl layers! My only regret is using a tshirt board when applying the vinyl. The cracks/creases in the board show through the vinyl 😭
I so love your videos.Im a new subscriber. You have helped me out a lot.
I'm so glad! Thank you for your support!
if you use Siser Easy Weed, you'll only heat each layer for 15 seconds correct ?
Nope, you can heat each layer for the regular amount of time :) It's very hard to burn HTV.
Can heat vinyl be layered ON TOP of other heat vinyl? As in a Panda. I layered the white on the black but the white won't stick. Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks!
yes, it can! :)
I figured it out. The white can only be pressed for a couple seconds on top of the first layer.
Did you layer htv on htv? If so how did you do it successfully? Have you used sports flex or glitter with layering?
@@jessieann3871 Not sure if you’re asking me or the creator of this UA-cam but I just used HTV I think you can do glitter vinyl you just can’t press it for very long.
My new clients are going to Disney and picked a svg with multiple layers of mickey and Minnie. As a beginner this video makes me more confident accomplishing this new task Thanks! 😄
I always use a teflon sheet when doing any vinyl iron on. It makes it so easy and doesn't stick at all!
They are very affordable!
Thank you for watching! ❤
Can you stick the vinyl to itself or to upholstery vinyl fabric sheets that come by the yard?
Sure!
Makers Gonna Learn thanks for you quick response! Do you think it’ll be a strong enough adherence to become a pocket? I’m planning on cutting the pocket, say 5x5 and I’ll cut another piece of upholstery vinyl that’s 4x4, stick that on and then stick the 5x5 perimeter to the bigger piece that the pocket goes on. Will it be strong enough?
Awesome explanation! It may be in the comments but there are so many... I am curious, instead of the 1st sheet every time, are you able to use the Teflon paper?
Thank you!!!
If the design goes on the back, how far down would it go?
3-4" down from the collar :)
nice design,i want one where can i get this design.thanks
Here is our tropical flower cut file: www.makersgonnalearn.com/cut_files/floral-2/ . It is available to any member of Makers Gonna Learn! www.makersgonnalearn.com/join/
How do you keep all of the layers together like that? Mine wants to cut differently but I’d like to keep it like yours. If that makes any sense 😂
That was the best video I have seen for layering. Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words!
What kind of HTV are you using
Siser EasyWeed: www.651vinyl.com/12-x-12-sheet-siser-easyweed-htv-matte-black.html
I took your advice and was left with lines on my shirt where I laid down the plastic from previous layer. This did not work for me
Sounds like your Iron was too hot OR that your shirt was the wrong blend. Mostly cotton, at least 65% for these shirts :)
@@MakersGonnaLearn I guess the whole design should be covered, I was trying to avoid covering what had not been ironed yet. Thanks for your help!
I'm wanting to layer on a shirt, but I'm super new and can't figure out how to the cut the image. 🤦♀️
Here is a video that will help you! ua-cam.com/video/Md-X0arZnqg/v-deo.html
Thank you!🤗
@@tierramyers7939, You're so welcome!
Hello, can you use a teflon sheet for each layer ?
Feel free to, yes!
This was THE best explanation for layering! Thank you for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I feel like best is an over sell .
Layered Heat Transfer Glitter vinyl top layers never wants to stick. Any tips?
This was a great video, thank you so much. Maybe I’ll finally try a multi-layered vinyl project!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this! Do you have a video of the process in DS before the cut?
Yes ma'am, here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/YNTNcxY2O2I/v-deo.html
Makers Gonna Learn y’all are so awesome. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Is there anyway to make sure to get placement correct, or is it just hope you can get it where it goes?
Thanks for the help but i need help with when im designing on the laptop and want to print out 2 things but different colours do i need 2 seperate mats or can i do all in one and put 2 colours of vinyl on 1 mat ??
You are Awesome!, Thanks so much!!
You're welcome!
Wow you make that look easy
Thank you! Practice makes perfect!
How helpful!!!
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos !!! Now I need to know how you did all the layers
We'll this is the video for you!
Do you need to use a Teflon sheet?
We don't use one for a simple HTV project like this, but you can if you want to!! It won't hurt your project. We like to use it on more delicate materials.
U made this look soo easy thanks
Aww, thanks! It is easy once you get the hang of it!
You’re such a help, thank you!
Happy to help!
It would be nice for you to teach us how to get these separate colored layers
This was great! Thank you :)
You're so welcome!
After looking through many videos for a thorough explanation...THANK YOU!!!!!
You're welcome!
DON'T HAVE EASY PRESS MAT
You can use a towel folded several times, but we highly recommend you investing in an Easypress mat :) You will love it! Cricut EasyPress Mat 16”x20”: amzn.to/3eNM8od
