Hi Everyone! I'm Mandy, and I blog over at the awesome blogworld of www.SugarBeeCrafts.com - come check out all the fabulousness over there. Today I want to bring you a quick and easy Easter shirt using heat transfer vinyl - -

Now, you've probably noticed, but one of my FAVORITE things to use is heat transfer vinyl. I stock up on plain tshirts when I see them at thrift stores or on sale, so I always have some on hand when a project calls. It's just such an awesome way to add personalization.

And then on top of that, my FAVORITE type of heat transfer vinyl is Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl (because everything needs a little sparkle!) and Expressions Vinyl has tons of color selection in that category - you won't be disappointed. If you haven't used it yet, what are you waiting for - try it!

Today's project is awesome, because the shape of a "bunny peep" is a simple one - - so you can easily handcut this if you don't have a cutting machine. Just cut the outline and use a mini hole punch for the eyes and nose. I used my Silhouette Cameo, but really, if you're looking for a simple hand-cut project, this could be it.

I don't have a tutorial for you, because I've already done that here on the Expressions Vinyl Blog - I love heat transfer so much I keep coming back to it. 

A few things to remember:

--I cut the heat transfer glitter using the Glitter settings from ExpressionsVinyl's Cut Chart on my Silhouette.

--I traced the peep shape - just used a free clipart I found online.

--When cutting text, be sure to MIRROR the image before cutting - - I know to do that, and I still forgot the first time I cut it - oops! You do this because with Heat Transfer, you actually cut the back of the vinyl (put the shiny side of the sheet down against your mat) and then flip it over to iron it on to your item.

--Use a pretty hot iron with a thin cloth between it and your vinyl. Slowly peel off the clear sheet and iron the design again to be sure it's set well.

That's it! Enjoy the cuteness - -
