FYI for us bigger people, Michaels.com does sell the cricut shirts in XXL. Found out at the Chicago meet and greet. Also had to order the Tropical Palm infusible ink on line. For some reason they didn’t carry either of them in store.
Great video, Melody. I knew it would work on glitter iron-on because Ken did it last year with the Artesprix markers (sublimation). I absolutely love the idea of glitter on a dark shirt covered with the infusible ink transfer sheets. Thank you!!! I hope Lorrie washes what she did and shares the results with us.
I love watching your videos and you are so genuine when you make a mistake you tell us, you own it and then you try to fix it. It helps me know that it’s okay to make mistakes and then move on!! Thanks for all your hard work in teaching us everything Cricut!!
Does it have to be Cricut Glitter Iron-On? I know there were questions about other types of Iron-On products. Could you use a different brand of White Glitter Iron-On? I like the Siser brand, it seems to work better for me. Second question, how did you know (or find out) that the Cricut brand was polyester?
Hi hope you don't mind me saying but I think the white bits are where you picked it up and touched the infusible ink. I haven't done any yet myself but read if you touch it may not transfer as well......just a thought x
So I have a problem with a design that weeded perfectly from Infusible ink and it contains many letters much like you cut out box that has letters by themselves. BUT they popped off and I cannot get them to stay on the transfer paper. My dsing has words all around a cicle that says I am. I do not think I will ever be able to flip the transfer paper to put onto shirt. Is there anything that might help me get the letters onto the design in the proper spaces? Thanks Gayle
i am new to the cricut and have a question ... my mother is an assistant manager and they have not given her a work shirt yet because her position and she HATES T-Shirts she doesnt like her chubby arms showing so she asked me to make her shirt but its to be neon green and white .... my question is does the glitter show through the infusible ink and make it glittery or no?.... also is there neon or Florissant green iron on I can use? I also watched another video and it looked like she used the a regular iron on with the ink is that even possible? Im not one thats willing to waste money as a single mom .... it took me 2 years to be willing to buy the cricut its self but since mom really wants a long sleeve and a sweater for work i agreed to make them but im soooo scared to mess the up ..... my final question is can i use any brand of heat transfer paper iron ons? I ask because the cricut color i wanted was out of stock so i got to looking on amazon and there is so many different brands outside of the cricut iron ons and they actually have the neon or Florissant green in the HTV brand but i have not found it for the cricut! i could be blind and missed it but if her sweater is liked by the owner of her shop i will be the one making the uniforms for now on! so i feel these are very important questions because the shirts are important to the shop! Im hoping for a response from anyone that is experienced with the cricut including Melody!!!!
The glitter underneath is making it more sparkling, which makes it even prettier. It looks like the glitter was on the colorful transfer. It looks really neat with the black background.
isnt this just changing the color of the vinyl. what would be the differance in using a rainbow colored vinyl? at the end of the day your base is still vinyl. Ive seen people make a templet and then bleach their shirts just on the part where you put the infusible ink onto.
Have watched this wonderful video several times--the elements captivate me, simple but a great refresher for these techniques. Thank you for such high quality content, spanning YEARS. You're a genuine creator, Melody.
Was just wondering if you could use the infusible markers to color right on the white patches and then place the butcher paper over and heat again to see if that would work? Just wondering.....
Im new to cricut and Infusible ink was my first project because it was the first material to arrive for me. Omg! Cricut played well!!!🤣🤣🤣 Now I am addicted to Infusible ink!!!! I loved to know it can be done on black materials and I am assuming other colors as well? Have you tried it? Thank you for sharing! Sending lots of positivity your way! ✨✨✨
Alex and Holly: I just watched this video, and I noticed that the audio is delayed significantly from the video. at least 15 to 20 seconds or more. Its super noticeable when she's talking on camera, and when her exclamation doesn't fit with what is on screen. Don't know if you can fix that, but thought I'd let you know. It was nice seeing her again.
I have looked high and low on Cricut DS images for the black feathery background with the phrase on it that you are showing. I can't find it. I've spent about 2 hours looking. Can you tell me what it is? I'm thinking they removed it.
Hi Melody: I have just order the cricut easy 2 and can't wait to try the infusiable ink. I was wondering for 12x10 easy press could you use the 12x12 mat.
It’s beautiful. I can’t wait to try it. Aren’t they always saying not to touch the infusible ink or it won’t work? I thought those white spots looked like your fingers.
Melody I am SO excited to try a project like you made today. What could be better, glitter and infusible ink? Yes, I bought the rainbow 🌈 infusible transfer sheets because I LOVE your square coaster project!!! I have not tried the coaster project yet but hope to do it soon. I love your project tutorials. Thank you. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Oh Melody watching you tape the second try I can see myself struggling to get it to lay flat too. I love your spontaneity and freshness to your creativity.
Melody I don't understand the difference between iron on and infusible ink. Iron on doesn't have colors right? its just letters? and with Infusable ink you can do designs with colors. Also whats the difference between butcher paper and parchment, I thought it was the same thing. Thanks
Alexandra Garcia Baudrit iron on can have patterns with colors too, and you can cut out shapes, can be same shapes as infusible ink. The difference is iron on, you can feel on top of the shirt, it can peel off or not stick well if pressed wrong. Infusible ink, you can not feel, because it’s ink, the heat turns it into a gas and that dyes the polyester fibers in the shirt, it will never peel off as its inside the fabric, it will never fade. Infusible ink can only work on polyester fabric. You can use iron on on most fabrics and wood and other materials.
Hi Melody: Thanks for getting back to me about the mat. I found out today that I ordered my easy press 2 from the shopping channel here in Canada, now I can not get it from them. So I will have to contact my brother in Denver to see if he will order it for me. Just means I have to wait longer for it. If I use your code for 10 % off., does that apply to cricut machines.
I prefer to work with glitter iron on. With original easy press it even goes on smoother than the everyday iron. The everyday gives me so much trouble. Love glitter
Melody, can you help me find the file to make a house for my Cuties out of chipboard? Maybe it could be a video for a Saturday class, if you have made one!
That really has a Great Awesome Look. Many Thanks to Cricut for coming up with Something Awesome that doesn't require Another Machine, and Of Course, Many Thanks to you Melody, for Showing us all These Awesome Tricks. You Are Great. See You Saturday Morning.
If the ink doesn't fuse or at least isn't visible on the black, could it have been possible to just use a full square of the color without cutting the design out? Fast and less chance of offset because it would just cover the entire design. You wouldn't be wasting much more either. In this case I understand you are saving the excess for additional designs for future projects. Just an idea though.
you asked what the saturday class should be.. i would love to see a start to finish video on how to do that bitmoji with the infusable ink or transfer sheets. you showed ion a coaster, can you do it on tshirt?
Hello again! The shirts that Cricut makes for Infusible ink are not true to size. They don’t even fit me a little bit. I had to go up to a 3X just for it to fit me and I’m a 1X.
FYI After watching you I tried the infusible ink with gold glitter and it worked so you don’t just need white glitter
Your hair alone let’s me trust you. Your creative essence is alive.

You said the infusible ink will not work on cotton, so if you use a cotton white t shirt will you have to use the glitter vinyl?

thanks for the video, Melody.....could you also put infusible ink on say....white vinyl iron on?
Wonder if it would work with silver glitter instead of white
The glitter underneath is making it more sparkling, which makes it even prettier. It looks like the glitter was on the colorful transfer. It looks really neat with the black background.
isnt this just changing the color of the vinyl. what would be the differance in using a rainbow colored vinyl? at the end of the day your base is still vinyl. Ive seen people make a templet and then bleach their shirts just on the part where you put the infusible ink onto.

Have you done a follow up to show how this has lasted? I love the effect so much!!
Heather 296 infusible ink lasts forever
@@melodylane I guess I was thinking about it on the glitter. Does it last as well as on a "proper" blank?
Can u use regular white iron on with the infusible ink?
What material is the bag? Thanks 😊
To reuse the letter pop outs... should we use heat tape to secure them in place, before the butcher paper?
Thank You Melody.
I use the iron on option on my cricut with regular vinyl for hard to weed/tiny designs and fonts
Everyone has been talking about this infusible ink. I definitely have to run to Walmart to get me some hopefully they have some pretty colors
Hello, just found your video. Soooo, is there a way to get white on without glitter on a dark shirt?
Alex and Holly: I just watched this video, and I noticed that the audio is delayed significantly from the video. at least 15 to 20 seconds or more. Its super noticeable when she's talking on camera, and when her exclamation doesn't fit with what is on screen. Don't know if you can fix that, but thought I'd let you know. It was nice seeing her again.
Beautiful. This is a great hack. I did not want to invest in a sublimation printer. Now I have a better ideal how to use the infusible ink sheets.
May I know what font is that-- creativity?
Could you use plain white iron instead off glitter?
No, because the glitter is made with polyester and the regular vinyl is not.
I'm so happy U said U can leave the white on Thanks
Could you bleach the black shirt and then place the in on the bleached parts?
I have looked high and low on Cricut DS images for the black feathery background with the phrase on it that you are showing. I can't find it. I've spent about 2 hours looking. Can you tell me what it is? I'm thinking they removed it.
I’m new to all I ink and iron on. So why not just use colored iron on instead of layering the two different kinds?
Hi Melody: I have just order the cricut easy 2 and can't wait to try the infusiable ink. I was wondering for 12x10 easy press could you use the 12x12 mat.
is your temp high enough usually suppose to be what like 400 right?
It’s beautiful. I can’t wait to try it. Aren’t they always saying not to touch the infusible ink or it won’t work? I thought those white spots looked like your fingers.
can you use the strong bond white instead of glitter
Hi! Thank you for your video! Can you do this on everyday iron on or does it have to be glitter?
Has to be glitter
Oh my goodness that looks really pretty even with those few white spots... glitter my favorite 😍
Melody I am SO excited to try a project like you made today. What could be better, glitter and infusible ink?

Would the invisible ink markers work as well?
Can you do this on everyday iron on or does it have to be glitter?
Is this for the joy machine cuz thats what i looked for and this came on
Thank you so much for showing us the whole video even when things didn't look like it was going to work out great job nice bag
How it help to use ink pencils on the white
Thank you for being you and letting us see the imperfections. I learn as much, if not more, when I see the mistakes along the way.

Alexandra Garcia Baudrit the reason this worked on the glitter iron on, is because the glitter is polyester.
@@melodylane Thank you for clarifying this!!! very very helpful...I was so confused!
I'd tried this possibly a week ago and it is amazing. Can we try light color glitter other than white?
Can this be done on any glitter htv ? and what about regular htv?
Hi, can I use heat n bond instead of glitter htv?
I am not sure I have never tried that
It's Amazing your work place is like a store 🥰
Would it work with printable vinyl
Would it not just be easier to use patterned HTV?
Hi Melody: Thanks for getting back to me about the mat. I found out today that I ordered my easy press 2 from the shopping channel here in Canada, now I can not get it from them.

Very pretty!!! Thank You for showing us the learning curve, so that we don’t have to go through it! I love the big square idea! Brilliant!!!
I prefer to work with glitter iron on. With original easy press it even goes on smoother than the everyday iron. The everyday gives me so much trouble. Love glitter
How does it wash?
Came out really cute. How would you do with an toddler sheet I’m adding grandchildren names for daycare. Plz show if u can in DS
Melody, do you think this technique would work on cotton clothing?
Yes
Melody, can you help me find the file to make a house for my Cuties out of chipboard? Maybe it could be a video for a Saturday class, if you have made one!
Can you use plain white htv?
i cant seem to find an answer to this question. seems like it would work.
That really has a Great Awesome Look. Many Thanks to Cricut for coming up with Something Awesome that doesn't require Another Machine, and Of Course, Many Thanks to you Melody, for Showing us all These Awesome Tricks. You Are Great. See You Saturday Morning.
The cricut shirts don't fit me either. I have been trying to find larger polyester shirts.
Melody, can you tell the name/color of the infusible ink that you used on the black bag? TIA!
I think it was rainbow
Would sport flex iron on work? Or glitter iron on mesh?
As long as it has glitter
this looks amazing! I've just bought some infusible ink and I'm nervous to try it
Thank you so much for this video. I am making my granddaughter a graduation gift and I Love the way this looks!
You are AWESOME 💜
Do you have to use glitter iron-on or will regular work?
Has to be glitter because the glitter is made with polyester
@@melodylane is there another iron-on that uses polyester? I'm in the minority that hates glitter.
@@rogerdeguzman3464 it’s the glitter part that is polyester
Could you color in the spots with the pens????
Does it have to be white glitter? Can I beon top of regular white HTV? I'm new to all this but would love to have this question answered lol
luvlychibi it’s the glitter that it works with, regular have will not work.
@@melodylane omg! thank you for your response! Now I know so I won't waste precious HTV! LOL Be well and stay safe! ^-^
Thank you for sharing this. How do you prevent your machine from cutting through the transfer sheet, mine does every time? Love the bag!
Set to less and it worked mostly, thanks!
If the ink doesn't fuse or at least isn't visible on the black, could it have been possible to just use a full square of the color without cutting the design out? Fast and less chance of offset because it would just cover the entire design. You wouldn't be wasting much more either. In this case I understand you are saving the excess for additional designs for future projects. Just an idea though.
And I just reached the part of the video where you suggest the idea lol I guess I typed too early and two years too late. Great video!
This came out sooo pretty! thanks for showing us this alternative way to use our infusible ink!
I think you meant Parchment Paper. Butcher paper has a wax side and would stick.
It looks good the way it is Melody
What time zone are you in for the free cricut design space class? Im in central time zone. Can i access the past classes?
thom7yv01 11 am eastern but I am on vacation right now you can access all older classes, look for the playlist on my channel, just click my name
Can you use any iron on or does it have to be glitter?
Nikki infusible will only stick to the glitter
I love the idea but don't think my son or husband will lol
Could you use a plan white htv if you dont want glitter
Never kind seen the answer to my question.
What is the term for the surrounding area around the text? Do you sell these SVGS? I just found you and you're amazing to watch. Thank you!
Awesome video! Love the white glitter background and bright infusible colors! 👍🏽
Thanks so much 😊
very nice every spoil is a style and its very pretty
ok i hear you rubbing glitter but say we do the glitter on t shirt first then infusible on top will it still be stretchy?
rhonda madonna if I understand right, the glitter is polyester so you can do this on cotton shirts.
No it wont be
Creativity really is contagious! 🥰
Hi Melody, I missed the live so I didn't get to ask if it will still hold its shape after stretching?
@@melodylane thank you so much!
Thank U so much about the white paper 😂 I was spending so much time taking that off.
Can you do a video on the ink with dark mugs?
I currently dont have any dark mugs if I find some I will test it out
I love this idea with glitter!
I would also like to know where your files came from. I’m watching for 3rd time and doing a black canvas.
you asked what the saturday class should be.. i would love to see a start to finish video on how to do that bitmoji with the infusable ink or transfer sheets. you showed ion a coaster, can you do it on tshirt?
A+ for your effort in getting it done. It's beautiful!
where do you get the patterns that you use
I think those 3 white spots looks like fingers, so ill try not to handle the infusible ink sheets too much. Great video! Excited to try it
Let me know how it goes! Share some pictures in our Cricut Design Space with Melody Lane Facebook group!
The spots are from your fingers. You touched the paper. You have to make sure u don't touch the ink side of the infusable ink paper.
Does anyone know if you can only do this on glitter? I would think you could use a regular white without glitter but I'm not sure?!🤔
Aly The Actioneer has to be glitter
Melody Lane Thanks! 💕 I appreciate the help!
Hi i would of just cyt a strip of where the orange is n lay it on that side n press it not the whole sheet
So pretty! Is this regular canvas or “polyester”? Sorry if I missed the answer somewhere!
No worries, the Infusible Ink only works on the black (cotton) bag because I put the white Glitter iron on first.
So, basically you are just dying the glitter iron-on the color of the infusible ink?
Hello again! The shirts that Cricut makes for Infusible ink are not true to size. They don’t even fit me a little bit. I had to go up to a 3X just for it to fit me and I’m a 1X.
White ones are made to fit tight grey are a bit looser and raglans are even more loose
