NEW DOLLAR TREE CRAFTER'S SQUARE PRODUCT REVIEW | Vinyl, Transfer Tape, Etching Cream & Tools!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- Dollar Tree has been stepping up their Crafter's Square offerings! Some new products hitting shelves include vinyl, transfer tape, etching cream, crafting tools and more. After many Dollar Tree trips, I was able to score some of these amazing finds.
In this video, I'm going to be reviewing and testing the new Crafter's Square removable vinyl, permanent vinyl, glitter vinyl, etching cream, tools and transfer tape. While for $1 all of these are great finds, I do have my favorites (HINT: Glitter Vinyl is a must) and ones to avoid (say no to the Dollar Tree weeding tool). Do you have a favorite product? Let me know in the comments!

This demo was thorough and super helpful! Thank you so much for posting this!
You did a great job! Simple and to the point with the necessary details 👏🏼
Thanks for taking the time to do this video! Great comparisons! I would have never known that Dollar Tree had all those products!
rice paper setting with less pressure and deep cut blade works best for me
So glad you did this review of the new Dollar Tree vinyl AND how to use it with the Cricut! I know so many people will be looking for a good comparison and your review and testing will help them a lot! Great video!!
It was my crafting science experiment for the day. Thank you Jamie (and The Husband) :)
I’m super glad you did this review. I’m getting a silhouette from someone and now to practice I can buy these and not feel like I’m tossing money away! Thank you again!
Thank you for doing this. You were very thorough. I’d love to see how you organized your craft station too. It looks great, of what I could see.
This tutorial is awesome. Thank you so much for all your examples.
Love how you demonstrated all the settings in this review. Well thought out and executed! Thank you!
Yes, very organized and straight-forward. A real asset. I subscribed!
Thank you for showing us how the products work. Great instructor.
Glad you found it helpful... Thanks for watching :)
The dollar tree vinyl stuck to my mat and was a pain to try and remove it
Very informative. I looked at these in the DT and had my doubts. Your comparison was good to watch. And how you did them side by side. That was most helpful.
Now I can pick some out and test for myself. Thank you for sharing.
New subscriber 🥰
Thank you for your demonstration of new products at the Dollar stores. It helps us other crafters knowing if the product is worth it or trash.
Thank you for watching! I really enjoyed the Glitter Vinyl and Transfer Tape. Hope you're able to find some.
Very methodical testing! Good information for trying the Dollar Tree products.
Great video on how you did each strength. I need to get a cricut for beginners.
Thank you!!! Saved me so much time and practice.
thanks for this video! it was explained really well and helps!
Great review. Very thorough and easy to follow.
Glad you found this helpful! Thanks for watching.
I just got a bunch of Dollar Tree vinyl for Christmas and was so glad to find this review. You do a great job of clearly demonstrating your results. Thanks for sharing.
Did you have any issues????
The dollar tree vinyl stuck to my mat and could not take the white paper off my mat
@@Rosamarianv I started with the rose gold glitter vinyl. The first four inches wouldn't stick to its own backing. No matter how much I taped it to the mat, it slid around. After I wasted that first section (and lots of time) the next four inches cut pretty well. I was doing monograms and was able to use the letters as well as the negative space.
Thank you for the DT vinyl review! I've wanted to know how well it works and the best way to cut.
Wonderful Review 😚Great and Informative ! Thank You so much …!
for the glitter vinyl I found that stencil vinyl set to 160 pressure works best, so I made my own material to make a setting. then the transfer tape with the lines works best for picking it up. thanks for the video!!!!
I enjoyed the video..I learned a lot in just a few minutes
Great job 🥰 thanks for the info.
Great overview. Normal pressure resulted in some tears for me, so came looking for a video like this
Great review! Thanks for your thorough analysis. I recently got a cricut so when I found my dollar tree with all of this vinyl I went nuts!😂 Not only did they have the basic colors they had the silver, rose and gold glitter as well as the b/w Buffalo check. I got it all. Now thanks to you I'll know how to best cut it the first time🤗💯💕
I let out a Scream today when I found them today... ABD my name is Dianna too!
Thanks girl I bought a bunch of these and I haven’t even touched them yet … lol
But I will now😊
Thank you so much for this video 👍👍
I’ve been doing some experimenting with Dollar tree vinyl as well. It definitely does better with larger, solid objects. The big downside I think is the vinyl barely sticks to its paper backing. I found weeding to be very difficult. I want to love it and will keep at it.
So helpful! Thank you!
I got my hands on some today... ALL THE COLORS
Ive tried it with the "premium vinyl default pressure. It cuts perfectly.
can it be used on shirts ?
I love using the dollar tree vinyl.
Awesome!!!
I also the rice paper setting for the glitter on the permant
Great job with this video
Thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you for sharing the comparison. I am a Dollar Tree Queen (Well, now it's the Dollar Twenty-Five Tree 😄) and will be buying some vinyl there.
This may be a stupid question. But is this mainly for doing cups etc or just for shirts?
I envy you folks having a Dollar tree that actually stocks the variety of products I see tested. I've never seen the small scraper or transfer tape at multiple local stores to me. They do have permanent vinyl, I find it OK, and recently found the weeding tool, after I bought a Cricut one. Still great video as a new Cricut uses I wonder about the cut settings but now need to try Washi to see the results.
Thank you!!
Thanks for the video.
Your review has hopefully helped me solve a problem! I was recently able to pick up some permanent vinyl from DT, but they didn't have any transfer paper at the time. My Cricut transfer paper was extremely difficult to lift off my DT vinyl design after I placed it on my blank - possibly because the DT vinyl is so thin and the adhesive on the Cricut transfer tape is so strong. I think I'll try the DT options for transfer tape next time - if I can find it. Thank you for your reviews! I didn't even know DT had transfer tape!
I didnt know they had transfer tape either. I emptied the vinyl stock. I may accidentally have some :) Yay!
Thank you
Great video!
I would recommend using the Washi Sheet setting with Less pressure. I have a cricut maker and it worked great for me
Did put vinyl face down?
I'll have to pick some of this up
Thanks!
I tried every setting I could thing of . It ripped. . The glue on the removable is not sticky at all. The Permanent did work ok and the iron on the transfer .
thank you very helpful
Mine all tore. I can't do words with it
I really like the weeding tool. I bought 3 of them, they all work great! Bought the vinyl & transfer tape and no issues. Etching cream is too runny, even came right though the packaging. So I returned it unopened. Love the scraper tool.
I agree about the etching cream! It was too runny but I was surprised it still technically worked
Great video
Thanks for watching :)
⚘thank you
Thank you for the video. What is the setting for less pressure?
I got my Cricut for Christmas and sadly, it’s still in the box. Liked your video. I was thinking of buying & trying out the vinyl from the DT. Except, don’t know what settings to use yet. Wish you went more into detail of the settings you used.
Hi! Thanks for the great video. I’m very new to Cricut and am having some issues. I either have a hard time getting the vinyl decal ONTO the transfer paper, or I have a hard time getting it off of it! Ugh, it must be based on materials, but which ones do you use?
I love this vinyl! I have every color, the rose gold is gorgeous!
i agree!
Does someone know the cut settings for removable vinyl paper for silhouette cameo 4?
Wish you have tried the vinyl with a more intricate cut
Is the green board a preferred board for this product. I used the blue board and could NOT get it to cut letters without it pulling away from the paper back as it was cutting. I used vinyl setting and mylar setting g for the glitter and it still cut with some of the letters pulling away
did you find a cut for the fonts circles are ok but its not really representing something like fonts I've wasted half sheet of the glitter already and cant figure it out . washi default didnt work and more pressure chewed it up :) hope you can help
Good morning was watching one of your videos & I noticed on the wall you have a storage bin for your crafting balls,WHAT IS THAT & where can I buy one. THANKS for you Dollar tree crafting
I was excited to see the etching cream! But can't find it on their site. I qpnder if they discontinued it already.
Have you tested how long the glitter vinyl holds? When I cut my vinyl, if it's too small the pieces will come up as I try weeding. When i touched the ones I messed up on, the adhesive seemed gone. But when I finally managed to cut and weed a design and tried transferring it onto a transfer tape, it decides to stay on the backing. These glitter vinyls are giving me a headache! 😢
How do you keep it from sticking to the mat? Mine cuts it but the back sticks to the back
Thanks for this video! Did the removable vinyl leave a residue after removal, or did it come off clean?
I couldn't find removable vinyl at my D.T would you recommend using transfer paper from D.T as a stencil to etch?
Can use on cricket joy
What machine, blade, and cutting depth did you use?
We're is these store at what country or town I can find the vinyl paper for the cricut machine at any dollar tree can some one help me were is located thanks
How did you get it to not cut thru the backing of the vinyl? Mine keeps cutting thru the backing 😢
i tried the :Vinyl Paper permanent glitter paper" on all kinds of settings with my cricut and couldn't get any good cut. thank you
I know I’m a few months late on this comment but I use the dollar tree vinyl but I have to use the washi setting so it doesn’t cut through also you should have tested with lined designs like a star or writing because that is a key factor in the cutting process
Mine rips on all 3 settings and the glitter don't cut all the way. Any tips
I bought a maker 3 was using dollar tree vinyl I was trying to etch Names on glass it was going all the way through the paper I send it back I got the maker it's doing the same thing but only on letters I can't learn my pressure anymore than 70What should I do
Mr Crafty Pants also did a review and he had trouble weeding small pieces
Can this me used with the cricut joy
Can you use your stamps on the vinyl or would the ink smudge?
in my experience (using vinyl setting and regular pressure) with intricate lettering, the Dollar Tree vinyl would not stick to the Cricut Transfer Tape. I don't know what the issue is, but it just doesn't work for me. It's easy to weed because it's thin, but a nightmare to transfer. I also had tearing in my lettering, so good to know that lessening the pressure SHOULD help.
Nice! What are the sticker you have underneath the black vinyl?
Oh man I did the regular setting and mine tire so bad
My glitter ones cut all the way through to my Matt on all of these settings
What settings did you use? ☺️
@@_Sakura.Bae_ I have tried so many
its good for a solid cut but what about testing it for a writing setting
Has anyone figured out how to remove the wrinkles thst start when the roll is layed flat? Suggestions?
Hi newbie here just rang your 🛎 .. I just bought a cricket Air two how do you think the vinyl will hold up if u se on a mug ?? And hold up with washing??✌️☮️👍♥️
What is washi?one of the other online crafters said he had to use stronghold tape for the glitter vinyl .
This is a great video. What transfer tape do you use. I'm kinda new I must say I've never heard of washi setting
I use clear dollar store shelf liner
Hi I bought this transfer tape roll from the dollar store.. the Crafters square without lines on the back. I thought it was for transferring stickers or the rub off images onto glasses are other things.
I don't own a cricut, but could I use this transfer tape to transfer stickers or thr rub on images onto Metal or glass ??
Yes, it has lots of uses. You should be able to use it to transfer stickers. I'm not sure it would work with rub on images.
what is the magic cover?
.
Can this vinyl be use on iron on
I am new to Cricut and have an Explore 3. The transfer tape without the lines that I just bought is horrible with their brand of vinyl. I can't get it to release unless it's on their glitter vinyl. It is so thin that it is hard to work with without it folding on itself. The only setting that I can cut it all on is the window cling setting.
Great review!! I’ve tried the vinyl twice for cutting words, and it’s been bad for me, I’ll try the less pressure setting now… I really hope it works 🙁
I’m having that issue as well.
Same issue here. I have tried so many different settings and I can't get it to cut right (my machine is brand new so blades are new.) :(
Same issue. My blades cut right through. Tried all settings with less pressure. My maker 3 brand new as well.
I can’t get it to work, my machine is new as well and cuts right through the liner even with less pressure
Same. Brand new machine and tools. My circuit machine ate my DT vinyl up! Tore everything up. Multiple times too. And I was trying to cut out a sun with sun rays.
Could you please explain how you set the dial to less pressure I am very new to Cricut How i you get all these settings you used for the demonstration?
My question exactly
I want to cut text from the crafters square glitter vinyl. I can’t seem to find a setting on my Joy that works. Any suggestions?
I'm also wondering because it just tears it and sticks to my blade.
I tried the glitter vinyl on multiple settings for some letters and they failed miserably! Would you consider testing these with more intricate designs or letters?
Same happened to Me. It tore the letters and the white paper backing stuck to the mat and I had to peel and scrape that off the mat.
Same here
Complete misery for me on my Joy. What a disappointment
For more intricate details on the glitter vinyl, what setting do you recommend? I’ve tried all kinds but all either tears or doesn’t cut through enough.
How small is the design? Are you using a new blade or an older one on your device? I have been using my blade since November and I've noticed it's not cutting as good as it used to on non-Dollar Tree vinyl.
Where can I find the magic cover?
I'm totally lost.
What kind of transfer tape did you use to transfer the permanent glitter vinyl?
It looks so easy but I can't 😭
I realize this is from 2 years ago however, you were only cutting circles. It works fine for larger objects. But detail is a whole different issue all together.
It should have been tested with more detailed cuts only because i have heard lots about how this vinyl does not do well with detailed cuts such as lettering etc.
Exactly. I came here to say this. I did a design with the permanent black, intending it for a glass-etching stencil. But the letters were impossible. Any small detail, like the counters inside of O, P, or A, just popped right off of the backing material when weeding. It's thin, but if doing large scale wall art, the removable material would work fine. I'm not sure what to do with the permanent material. It might work for car stickers, but I'm a bit skeptical. And again, fine details won't hold to its backing very well.
What settings should I use on the Joy for this brand? UA-cam's search tool insists you know.
