How to Make Bag Tags with Vinyl Fabric and HTV! 

I know a lot of people are going to ask, so I'll go ahead and put it here in a pinned comment: I order my custom vinyl from Xiamen Hsd Ribbons & Co on Alibaba. I have used them for the past 4 years and adore them! Great customer service - and no, I do not get paid to say this. They can send you a sample set, but the faux leather I use is the W-03. It has a very subtle texture, is matte, and holds color quite well. It DOES have the thick, fleece backing as a lot of customs do, so you'll want to put a layer of woven interfacing on it before sewing! Xiamen Hsd Ribbons & Crafts Co: hsdribbon.en.alibaba.com/ You can tell them Georgia of Fierce Kitten Studio sent you!

Commenting on the sweatpants and no makeup to say who crafts in makeup and real pants?? Like, really...aren't we all in sweatpants and bare faced 👀 🤣

WHY did I never think to use my Cricut for making tags?!?! You're clearly more caffeinated than I am, so many thanks for the idea

I've been doing this for about a year now. On the inside, on a zipper overlay. And yes I use my cricut to cut the overlay too

I do love your videos and ideas! It’s so refreshing that you don’t hold back info and everyone can try it if we feel like! Thank you Kittens!

I use my cricut to draw my logo with a permanent marker on cork and then the Cricut cuts it. I have also digitized it for embroidery.

Another great video, Georgia!! Love the comfy look! :) I am just getting started with making bags and didn't want to go through the expense of customized tags just yet, so this is perfect!! I bought the HTVRont Auto Heat Press after watching your Emotional Baggage video and have to say that I absolutely LOVE it! I can't wait to try this! Thank you so much for all you do!

You look so cozy and I wouldn't have noticed sweatpants - or the lack of makeup - if you hadn't mentioned it lol I have the foil stuff for my machine, I volunteer to try it >:D

Love this, great for using my scrap cork

It's Sweatpants Tuesday! Take THAT, Trolls! ;-)

Thanks for the detailed tutorials they are very helpful and I love your style!! BTW you look great all natural…not everyone needs to cake their face

Thanks! I’ve been considering this for a few weeks. I’m excited to try it out.

Thanks for giving me the courage to try this! I just have a tiny cricut press but I make it work!

Just the thing I am looking for. That expensive pair of scissors lol cricut is finally doing something for me. Thank you so much for sharing this. I am making some new labels immediately.

11:16 It's just a tag with some unique personality. I like it.

Thanks for another great tutorial. I've thought about doing this on vinyl zipper overlays. I use my Cricut to cut them out already. I think adding a logo to it would be great for some projects.

Honestly, the angled mistake looks better than the straight ones. It gives it a little sass 😂.I like it

Thanks! I really do enjoy your content!

😂😂you are very funny. Love your intro

I love this idea! I’ve been wanting some tags for some little pouches but I can’t buy custom at the moment. I have a couple of metal ones that say Handmade but for some reason I think saying that is pointless. 😂. I think I’ll try some cork!

I have just recently found you. I’m trying to watch as many of your videos as possible every morning to learn more about bag making to sale at craft shows next fall. I’m an experienced sewer but a novice bag maker. When you talk about making our own tags on canvas or on any woven fabric I’m hearing it should be on the bias. Why is that? I’d welcome an answer from anyone! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing!

Great idea - I didn’t try doing this on non fraying vinyl. I have done similar on wide cross grain ribbon. And then folded over 2 cut raw edges or sewn into seam inside. I got my logo digitized for embroidery but haven’t done that yet either

You look great to me. Don't stress!

Scoring foil into tag would be interesting to see! I just bought my first cut machine (ScanNCut) so on a major learning curve....lol

you are amazing ❤ keep being you…

Not the point of this video, but where do you get your metal tags made? I definitely know what it’s like to let expensive equipment collect dust. Someone who shall remain nameless has 3 cricuts and even a serger all collecting dust for maybe most of the years they’ve been owned😱😱😱 Yes, I did say years! Honestly, in 20+ years the serger has never been used. No way did I just admit that😱 Thanks for your videos. Been enjoying them for a while now. Cheers from FL😺

Queeeeeeeeen, thank you!

On another note (from my sweat pants comment): I’m a new bag maker, and one of the struggles I am having is knowing how to choose waterproof canvas (which I haven’t used) and vinyl. I bought some vinyl (from Amazon) and really lucked out with it. Waterproof canvas looks really heavy to me-and there are several kinds. The vinyl in the big box stores can sell for a lot but when I look at the backing it doesn’t look so great. How do I know what’s good? I know that Ottertex is good stuff, but some of it is really heavy…would I use that waterproof canvas for lining, or is there some lighter version to use? Those are the sorts of things that I am wondering about, and I hate to spend a ton of money (that might be wasted) while I figure it all out! Thanks!

Once you have the settings sorted and if you wanted to make a bunch, I would cut and weed the word, adhere the whole sheet to a similarly sized fabric, then you can cut them with a router and rotary cutter. If you into that sort of thing. I am. So I would. Also my pet peeve is thinking woman need makeup. Haven't worn it in decades. Isn't required to provide useful information.

Hello, that looks So Nice. Not to get off topic just have a question can you use your heat press to make t shirts? Love your channel.💙💗💜💚💛🧡😃😀

I love you videos..have a question ...your mat what size is it and where can I find it? You Crack me up..love your energy😊😂

Gotta try this. thanks. off topic, but do you have any advice on sewing a denim pouch or wristlet bag, without the dented corner seams?

Hi! Question out of the subject in this video 😅 Did you have plan to release the backpack pattern we see in some of your video? I really love it, i know there is pattern base/inspiration but I see lot of awful feedback on this pattern. 😅 If your realease your all re-do version I prefered buy your 😊

That heat press is cool. What brand is it and where can I get one?

I use HTV on faux leather. I find if you are cut close to the vinly letters you can see the imprint of the edges of the clear sheet so I keep a good border around the lettering.

This is a comment on the sweat pants and the lack of makeup: You look great! Who the heck cares? 😊

LOVE THIS, BUT.... i have no idea what HTV is. and how did you get the fierce on the vinyl? need more info please and thx

Would you tell me about your heat press and do you recommend it? I want it for making handbags. I have been doing my research and I am totally confused.

Thanks 🙏 for sharing this. Where did you get your X-Large purple cutting mat that’s on the table ??

Why kind of heat press is yours?

Where do you get you get your own vinyl/fabric made???!!!

❤❤

I just came to comment because you have no make up on and you are in sweatpants, I mean, a woman on my own level. haha :P great video, thank you!

could have done with less of the childish manoeuvres and talk. Was distracting and kinda embarrassing to watch
