Patterned HTV is a great way to add texture to your project without having to add a ton of layering. It is not hard to use, however there are a few things you will need to know that differ from using your standard HTV. So, here are 5 things we have learned along the way while working with our patterned heat transfer vinyl.

Creating your own customized map of all the places you have traveled through or visited is a super fun Cricut or Silhouette project. You can really make it your own by using different colors of vinyl, substrates that the vinyl is applied on, patterns, quotes, or sayings. Using vinyl to make a map of all of the places you’ve been is a fun way to get your family involved in your crafting addiction too! Get the kids excited about marking off family vacay destinations after a trip. This project also makes a great gift if left blank and ready for the gift receiver to fill out.
