Transferring a Design Without Heat Transfer

So far, I've done three projects where I use paint instead of heat transfer vinyl! I don't really mind using paint instead of heat transfer. But, I still prefer using heat transfer instead of using paint. However, when you are using this method, if you use fabric, you want the vinyl to be flat because if it isn't flat it'll let your paint underneath the vinyl and cause the paint to spread. So, without further ado, let's get started!

What you will need:

• Vinyl (Doesn't matter what type) & Transfer Paper to transfer the design over to the desired surface (Not required)
• Paint (Whatever paint will bond to your material)
• Sponge Brush
• Weeding tool (To weed the design)
• A bag or whatever surface you're transferring the design onto

1. Prep and cut-out the design
2. Weed the inside of the design                                                                                                          
3. Transfer the design over to the desired surface                                                                                
4. Use paint and a sponge brush to fill the design in (I prefer to use acrylic paint but it also depends on what material I'm using)                                         
   
5. Let the paint partially dry and peel back the vinyl
6. Let fully dry/ cure

Now you have a personalized bag that you didn't have to use heat transfer with! I hope these instructions have helped you with your project or help you with a project in the future! Make sure you come back next week (on Friday) to see a new post!
