If I have a design that has a pattern (messy bun with sunglasses and the lens has a pattern) can I print the lenses onto white vinyl and the design will transfer? Thank you

Great learning experience for sure. Thank you! Really helps me decide on what I want. I don't know if I want to use vinyls 😅😅😅 I have a 5-in-1 heat press and it has all types of gadgets and I want a DTF printer I think but woah buddy 😁 they are expensive too. 😅 But love this I just don't know if I'm that creative.

I have read that if you use glitter iron on vinyl that item must be washed in only cold water ~ would this be true with this onsie if the glitter is used

If we use a home iron what setting should it be on?

[@pethroniamendez5251]

Where did you purchase that cutter you used to cut the vinyl. I’m a New Newby , 2weeks.

[@DesignBundles]

Hi there! It's the Cricut brand cutter that can be found at your local craft store or even Amazon! - Dawn

[@lindao7887]

So adorable! Now, what are the washing instructions?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Linda! With all personalized products, we recommend washing inside out and then air drying. You can then tumble on a dry/low setting to get the wrinkles out. - Dawn
