simply brilliant . I never would have thought that was possible.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great job! Loved the project
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Really awesome. Thanks
you just blew my mind. my vinyl cutter is collecting dust, i'm pulling it out!
Great video thank you another technique to use x
Waaaaaay Cool and this IDEA is Going into the next project
Thank you
Glad you like it!
Nice! Thanks for sharing this! Looks awesome! (though I do have to admit that I'd be tempted go in afterwards with some Rub n Buff (or a similar metallic paste) over top of the dragon... like, maybe in a metallic tone such as pewter, or antiqued brass or something along those lines... to *really* make it pop even more with an additional (and contrasting) element of dimension! It could be fun to experiment with added effects like that, I think... though it's already pretty cool & slick looking to begin with! So, job well done, I'd say! Thanks again for the idea!... it's totally got my creative juices flowing now, just thinking of all the different ideas that I'd like to try! (luckily I just happen to have some car wrap vinyl on hand, plus many of those tools... and even some spare tiles sitting around too! ...though I'm thinking to try this on much more than just tiles!) :)
I have a question though: I don't have specific gloves for this purpose... (nor was I really aware of the need for them, since I hadn't yet ventured into heat wrapping yet, myself -- I've been planning to give that a try too, but so far have been using the vinyl that I have in a different way). But could you possibly tell me the sort of composition/characteristics that the glove material should ideally be made of? (...so that I can try to figure out a suitable substitute perhaps)..?? I'd imagine they should be fairly smooth in texture for optimal "slip" --and also to avoid marring vinyls that are more easily prone to scratching, or other such defects... and so they should probably have quite a dense/minimal weave to the fabric... (if woven at all). Seems to me like they're some sort of synthetic fibre... like maybe some kind of stretchy polyester blend... or perhaps even w. acetate, or something similar, also in the blend (??) But any light you can shed on the matter would be appreciated please, as I'm mostly just taking stabs in the dark with those theories! lol. Thanks again! :)
So sorry for the delayed reply. For the question about the gloves, they come in different blends of materials, typically some sort of polyester and cotton. The one i prefer for vinyl wrapping is a brand called Ghost Glove, and it’s fully polyester from what I understand.
neat tip! Ill do something with this concept. And my tip to you... Dont use a heat gun over your self healing cutting mat. They will warp and waive to the point you will want to replace it.
Thanks and thanks for watching! Yeah, i did notice the heat making my mat a bit wavy, so I've since been more careful lol!
That's a cool idea! There are several shops around here that wrap vehicles and maybe they'll sell me their trims...
Thanks and thanks for watching! Definitely ask around to see...some shops may even just give you the scraps since it would go in the trash anyway. We routinely throw out leftover vinyl from projects that we can use the leftovers for anything else.
Totally awesome work! You've given me lots of idea! I'm thinking of using this technique to cover handmade books. Is there a leather look version of this vinyl? It looks like it would be bendable enough to go around the book spine. Thoughts?
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Yes, Vvivid does make a leather look version of this vinyl. I actually used it on the interior of one of my old cars a while ago. Here's a quick video of what it looks like: ua-cam.com/video/dAqoHSgX9vw/v-deo.html
Here's a link to the vinyl: amzn.to/2ZWr1Kq
Could this be applied to a hardback book? I'm thinking of a project that involves taking a regular hardback book & then vinyl wrapping with a wrap that looks like leather, with some embossing like you've done here. Any advice? I'm still researching all the ins & outs.
I think it would be possible, but it may not be durable. Vinyl sticks best to what is known as "high surface energy substrates," which basically is a surface that is smooth, non-porous, and typically glossy (think brand new car and paint). If the cover of the book is one of those matte, textured types, the vinyl likely would not stick well. If it's a hardback with the "shiny" smooth paper, that would likely stick better, but I would still be suspect on the durability.
Nice video. Could you do the same thing with a stencil rather than a decal? Thank you 🙏🏻 👍👏
You probably could do something similar.
Could you kindly share where you got the decal from? Thank you 🙏🏻
I made it using my Silhouette Cameo 3
Awesome job ! What kind of transfer tape did you use? 😊
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. I believe it was Frisco Craft clear transfer tape if I recall correctly.

What mil thickness should the decal be for embossing? TIA
I would say use one of the known thicker vinyls, like Vvivid. They're typically around 3-4 mils
@@ColorChangeCustoms he means the sticker decal. How thick?
My hood is already wrapped could I still do something
Mark Hill you could. Apply a decal then wrap over that. You'll have 2 hood wraps though. Or, for a like effect, make a decal the same color and apply it on the hood. The image would "disappear" except for looking at it at certain angles.
Got two questions: which company is the best for embossing? M3 1080 ore 2080? Avory...?
And the important question is: how long does it good, without forming bubbles? Sorry for my english.
Please help me for this questions
For your first question, they’re both about the same. Avery is a bit thinner I think so the embossing may show through a bit better.
For your second question, either will last for years if applied properly.
Does it matter the type of car vinyl?
jamie neighbarger not really. I used automotive vinyl specifically for the air release property to create the embossing effect. This brand happens to be vvivid, but you could use 3M, Avery, TeckWrap, Arlon...
Do you have a clip for the sides?
I have a different video on wrapping tiles where I show how you can go over the sides. Here's the link...hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/gNoIKG633WE/v-deo.html
could you use this type of vinyl on auto door panels?would it stand up to abuse?if not could you use this technique with regular vinyl and spray glue?
Are you talking about the inner door panels? Or the outside of the doors?
@@ColorChangeCustoms inner door panels
Yes, on some parts and depending on the surface of the part being wrapped. I wrapped the inner door cards of one of my old cars in a leather-look vinyl wrap, which is automotive vinyl wrap. Here's how it looked... Very stock, actually.

@@ColorChangeCustoms ok cool..is it like a regular vinyl thickness ?it wont tear easily?
@@mikebrodie6407 it seemed to do fine during the time I had it on.
That website says this is a window tint. So is this vinyl or tint?
It’s automotive vinyl wrap
Cool technique. Since it's car wrap vinyl, the obvious question is can you use this technique on a car (or is there any reason you shouldn't use it on a car)??
We do embossing all the time on cars 😉
Where did you get the decal
I found it on the internet somewhere and then made it
you think this will work on a debit card?
Yes, but that will be a lot of work I think
I really thought that tile was bigger than it was at the beginning of the video
