Crafty Projects Cricut Cartridges Cricut Expession 2 Cricut Stone Script Football Friday vinyl

Football Friday – Flocked Iron On Vinyl Cup or Can Cozy

Cool! That’s flocked vinyl…it’s fuzzy!

 Football Friday is coming to you a day early to prepare for a blog hop post tomorrow!

You MUST FLIP images & letters when cutting iron on vinyl.  My “A” is cut at 2.5″.

I got my Cricut Expression 2 out this morning to make a quick cup (or can) cozy using flocked (fuzzy) heat transfer/iron on vinyl.  I bought mine at Expressions Vinyl.  I’m using the Stone Script Cricut cartridge so I can make an “A” that looks close to the University of Alabama’s “A”.  See, I’m a Bama fan but my brother and his wife are both Auburn grads.  They’ll be here for Thanksgiving so I have to slide in as many Alabama things as I can during their stay.  I plan to smoothly hand this cozy with a canned drink in it to Liz (my SIL) during the Alabama/Auburn game.  Hee hee hee.

Learn about using vinyl with your Cricut in my DVD

Joy's Life Cricut Vinylology DVD

TIP: Flip images/letters when using heat transfer vinyl.  Cut with shiny side down.  Questions?  It’s all in the DVD. 😉

Those cozies aren’t sewn evenly…but they were $1 each! LOL!

SUPPLIES

I used the Cricut Expession 2, Stone Script Cricut Cartridge, cheap iron from WalMart, cheap tiny ironing board from WalMart, $1 can cozies that I got at Michael’s during the summer.  I hope you can find some good cheap cozies around, if not you can probably make some that are even better!

I use a teflon sheet to go over my heat transfer vinyl.

Adhering flocked heat transfer/iron on vinyl takes a longer ironing time AND more pressure than regular iron on vinyl.  You can do it, just be patient.

It’s a Diet Coke can, I promise!

The stone script “A” has a bit of a rough edge look to it.  It’s supposed to look like that. 😉  The flocked vinyl has a nice feel to it.  If you haven’t tried it, you should!

Have a great early Football Friday!

Cute idea for a stocking stuffer! I’d love to find Cricut cartridges, and the new E2 in my Christmas stocking (it would be an x-large stocking)! Thanks for the opportunity to win!


Comments

  1. In my Christmas stocking I am hoping to find some new stamps , inks and ribbon......can never have enough of those! I have a longer list but it would not likely fit either in my stocking or on here...lol<

  2. about the flocked vinyl...this is the first time I've seen this...and I check out Cricut products at JoAnn's every time I go (guess it's not available there). I'd love the chance to try it out to see out it works....so a "freebie" would be nice.

  4. Since the Silhouette Cameo won't fit into my budget OR my stocking, I'd like to get the Sew Ribbon in my stocking - it looks neat, and I need some new ways to use ribbon!

  5. OH I love this idea and will search the sleeves out in the stores near me. I have not used the iron on vinyl yet and I do think I need to. What do I hope to find in my stocking/under the tree -acrylic stamps from some awesome blogs (and yes... yours is included) - I want so many and hope to get even half of them :) THANKS for sharing such awesome ideas and a giveaway... cant wait :) doris parkernana5@cox.net

  7. Ok...my first craft goodie in my stocking is boring I admit but much needed.....siccors, I told you it was boring!! I would also like some new cricut cartridges as well as some new stamps!! Love the giveaway and thanks for the chance to win!!

  8. I would love in my christmas stocking.. More cricut cartridges.. Not that having over a 100 of them is good enough lol. I might need more of those scrap 'n tote binders too for christmas lol. Have you tried them Joy? thank you for the giveaway opportunity. I might make some of these and give them out as favors to something.. definitely a cute idea. Charna

  9. Cute idea for a stocking stuffer! I'd love to find Cricut cartridges, and the new E2 in my Christmas stocking (it would be an x-large stocking)! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  10. What a great idea. I like when I find non traditional items in stores, and can use Circut cuts with them. I wouldn't mind an M or J giftcard, in my stocking. Maybe stickles, sew easy stitch heads. Anything that will fit into my stocking really.

  11. I love the drink sleeve, especially because it's pink!! I'd love to try and make one with my initial. Ok, for my stocking.....so many things to choose from. I'd love some new dies to use in my Cuttlebug and/or a few punches. I don't have any punches and would sometimes just like the easy accessibility to a few.

  12. more cartridges!!! or a cricut cake machine!!! anything cricut, really....ooh..need replacement blades, they would fit in my stocking...ooh a deep cut blade would be nice, too.

  13. Cool - fuzzy vinyl :) I probably won't get any scrapbooking goodies in my stocking unless I buy them for myself and put them in - LOL!

  14. I would love to find a lot of vinyl under my tree. I just started getting into using vinyl on a lot of stuff and I love love love it. Thanks for a chance to win a gift certificate. Kelly k.krohe@yahoo.com

  16. Love iron-on vinyl. One thing I realy wanted for Christmas was a Circle Membership. During the Cricut Sale a month ago my Mom got mine when she bought hers. So I got my gift early. :+) My DH and I made our gifts to each other our anniversary trip so I guess I got that one early too. I would love to have some distress stains in my stocking though.

  17. Love your can cozy. I would love to find Michaels and Hobby Lobby gift cards and more of your stamps

  20. I'm hoping for either/both a lighted floor style magnifing glass and lyrical letters cricut catridge. Maybe/also a hobby lobby and Joann's gift card.

  21. I would love to find some cricut accessories like cutting mats and also running low on adhesives. Some cricut cake accessories would be good also. I think I'm gonna need a bigger stocking this year ;)

  22. What I would love to find in my crafty stocking would definitely be the cricut cartridge Winter Frolic!!! Thanks for the chance to win! mzcherub at gmail dot com

  23. I don't think they make a stocking large enough to hold my wish list! :) I have all sorts of crafty items on my list including a new Silhouette Cameo and the Teresa Collins Stamp Maker. Of course gift certificates to crafty stores are always a good thing.

  24. Oh, I would so love the Silhouette Cameo, but that would take a might sturdy stocking to hold it. And gift cards are always welcomed. I would also like to see the TIDE in the BCS Bowl. Love the cup holder. you made. Charlotte

  25. I hope to find a new Cameo but will be happy with anything crafty... But somehow my hubby has no interest in the craft store....... Have a happy crafty day!!!! Karen dkolopez@msn.com

  26. Such a cute idea. I need to start customizing stuff for the little guy. I am hoping for a sewing machine and accessories for christmas :) Erika :)

  28. there are 2 cricut carts that are on the top of my wish list, and i would love some tim holtz distress inks upnurse at aol dot com

  29. I love this! I am hoping to find a few new carts for Christmas! I haven't had much time to craft lately, but am hoping to find more time after the holidays. I also could use some more adhesives. amandawoodau at hotmail dot com

  30. Diet coke...okay... ;-) I would love to get some twine and a Tim Holtz tiny attacher. Oh, and some vinyl. And a craft room of my own, but I don't think Santa is a general contractor. LOL

  31. In my stocking for Christmas this year, I would love to have a whole variety of nestabilities. They are so fun to use and always turn out perfectly.

  32. I just bought myself the cricut cake so I am hoping for some carts to go with it. And a few gift cards. Thanks for another awesome giveaway!

  33. I'd just take a Joann's giftcard. I'm too ADD to plan far enough ahead to know what crafty something I want by Christmas. You should see my Amazon wishlists. HUGE.

  34. I am looking forward to the holiday season & spending time with family & friends. Thins year in my stocking I would love to fine embelishment items to add to my cards and scrapbooks.

  38. Very cute! My Mom is great at surprising with an assortment of goodies gathered on sale throughout the year. Sometimes I'm with her, but forget and still end up surprised. Thanks for the fun!

  39. Ideally, I would love my own studio, complete with a huge workspace and all the little bins and buckets to keep everything neat and organized. Unfortunately, that's a pipe dream right now, so I'll settle for a gift card to my favorite scrapbook store or a Silhouette Cameo. :-)

  42. This is UBER CUTE!!! For Christmas---honestly anything for crafting, a new cutting machine, distress stain, but I think I really need an external hardrive for helping me on my blog. :) be so blessed Beyond Measure Tammy
