How to Use Transfer Tape with Vinyl // Transfer Tape 101 for Beginners 

I am a 2025 bride that is a Cricut newbie.. this video is the best one I have found on how to use transfer tape with vinyl. Thank you!!!

Thank you for making something seemingly daunting and complex... Easy and understandable. 🥰🙏💖

Thank you thank you thank you for this! I literally just brought a cameo and a bunch of vinyl and transfer tape but didn't know how to use it. Spent soo long individually applying letters to a project when I could have used this!

Well done! I was preparing to work with vinyl on the glass of a shadow box frame. I have been watching lots of tutorials on how to do it. I just wanted to say that your video was so well done that I feel confident that I can do it. The tips that you gave during the video were helpful and plentiful. I actually watched the video several times to soak in all the great info you were sharing. Thank you!

I had not done vinyl lettering in some time......and I forgot I needed the transfer tape (and how to use it)....UGH!! glad I remembered about this before mailing the vinyl letter/gift. Your video was PERFECT!

Thank you , I’ve been looking for a simple tutorial on just this. Yours was perfect. 👍

First time using the Cricut. This video is very helpful. I really loved how you explained step by step. Thank you

My friend gifted me a bunch of vinyl stickers and transfer tape alongside it and I found this video so helpful!! Thank you ❤️

I made a vinyl decal for my car using this method. I'm not very crafty and I had to manually use an X-acto blade instead of a cutting machine. I thought the edges would be uneven or something else would go wrong, but it turned out perfectly on the first try. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to record and post this video! You showed all the things that most "how-to" videos I have watched miss or do not show; THANK YOU!

Thank you for the tutorial, I am a cricut joy user for the first time to ever own such a machine. I love all the things the cricut joy can do, but I don't know how to use all it's features. I tried to use transfer tape in a sentence my cricut joy cut in vinyl, I thought I knew what I was doing but I didn't. When my sentence came out of my cricut joy, I weeded and cut my words out separately to place them the way I wanted on my board. Then I cut off the size transfer tape to cover each word Individually. I separated the top clear piece of the transfer tape from the backing, I place the clear over each word. I trashed the backside pieces that went with the clear part of the transfer tape. I used the scraper tool to burnish, in my mind I thought the words would stick to the clear piece and the I would put it on my project, remove the clear tape & it would transfer. Then I thought, how could that work as the paper behind the vinyl is still attached to the words & there's no sticky to it. I am sure I ruined my project, I've been confused but u'm eager to learn. You made the impossible in my mind, possible and with such simplicity. Thank you

Thank you for your video. I was struggling and yours was the only one that showed from start to finish!

Thank you! I've been too scared to work with vinyl but this video is super helpful!

The best video so far and thank you ☺️

Life saver... I looked at about a dozen videos and not one explained it in detail. With your video I put some nice custom graphics on my motorcycle. I did it a couple of times and it looked like garbage. After I watched your video I felt like I had a handle on it and it looks great, no bubbles. Thanks.

Thank you so much! It took almost a week trying to find a video that would explain and show these exact steps for beginners! ❤

Thank you so much for doing such a great job teaching us how to use transfer tape. i watched a few tutorials and yours was the BEST one I watched. I was able to do it after watching you. Thanks again.

Girl thank you for this awesome tutorial!!! My daughter got me me a cricut x2 last year and I didn’t have a clue as to how to do this !!! 😊❤️ By the way I’m a new subscriber !!!

🗣Ma'am! Thank you so much!❤❤❤ I have been frustrated for months trying to learn how to use this transfer tape and my silhouette cameo 4. I just learned how to make it cut things out and I had no idea that you pressed vinyl from the back to make it stick to the transfer tape. I almost gave up and sold my equipment.❤

Yaaaassss perfect clear instructions, thank you so much for this video!😃😃😃😃

So helpful! Thank you so much!

This was such a great tutorial! Thanks so much for your help! :)

Thank you! This was nice and easy and right to the point.

Awesome Demo! Thank you

No matter how many times I go over it with the scraper I cannot get it to fully stick to the transfer tape. I end up using the weeding tool to remove edges that didn’t stick from the vinyl backing as I peel back the transfer tape. Frustrating to say the least. Is there a difference between cricut joy smart vinyl and regular vinyl?

Great video, simple but very informative. Thank you

I just did it my first time yay

Thank you

Thank you!

Very helpful video! Thanks

Thank you for the tutorial do you have a video of transferring it on to a bubble balloon?

Super helpful!! Thanks!

Awesome thanks for demonstration

Nice video!

Great video very well explained

Thanks you

What is stopping us from using transfer tape as a vinyl stencil, seems great for fresh paint areas. *What is the point in a stencil film, when you havee transfer film? *can you use transfer film over transfer film for your paint stencils. Especially considering oracle stencil film that cost 3 to 4x more.

Do you have a video on how to cut the stickers with a cricut? Im debating between the cricut air explore or cameo

Video was very very helpful..

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much😊😊 amazing 🙌👏👏👏👏👌😍

5:15 I have a larger oval that when I transfer it, it's full of bubbles. I can't use transfer tape and spray water

Thanks!

Many thanks. Will ths work for any print medium? Like laser print, pencil, indelible pen? 😁🌼🌻🌷

I do not have a cricut. I also have used printable vinyl sticker paper will transfer tape still work

All right so I'm just curious what is the point in using that if you can just use stickers?

thank you

So I will need special printer ??or any print I can copy its with transfer type??

Thank you! I was ripping my hair out. ❤

me seeing this using strong grip tape for normal vinyl wondering why it’s so hard 👁👄👁

I dont have a cricut printer/cutter. I have a regular Canon inkjet and some cricut vinyl paper. I'm guessing I can print onto the paper and then apply? Or do I need to apply with transfer tape always? The paper appears to have a white ("2 piece) paper so idk if the design lifts off of it..

Can you transfer an image to book edges?

Can tranfer tape be used for ironing on iron-on designs?

Can i get transfer paper and apply that on to the transfer tape to put it on a piece of clothing

I have a dumb question my htv all the letters from my project got accidently cut too deep so they all stuck to the mat so im trying to save it i was told to use transfer tape but i would need to transfer it back on another piece of transfer tape to press it on tshirt

LOL! I bought the wrong transfer tape! I bought the super strong grip for permanent vinyl.. I wish I would have watched this video first. Good thing I want to still get glitter vinyl too. LOL

After I transfer my design on a product some of the tape residue is left on top of my vinyl design. How do you do the transfer so no residue is left behind?

Do u mirror it and place shiny side down ?

Umm, if you want to do this with some accuracy in application, you can use a soapy water mixture (I use a couple drops of dish soap in a spray bottle) and spray the target area (using a spray water bottle) and then apply your vinyl. You can move it around and position it exactly where you want. When you get it where you want then smooth it out (with the same tool she shows in this video) and push out most of the liquid and allow the soapy water to evaporate. It's best to wait a few hours. You can then remove the transfer tape. You're welcome.

Please tell me what is the print can do it? Epson L805?

I’m having so much trouble once I’ve weeded it out and put my transfer tape on it and peeling it away from the backing it won’t let go.. im completely new to the cricut game first time I’ve ever tried this any tips would help

Can you use this tape for heat transfers?

Transfer tape don’t mention about iron on can I use this with HTV iron on ?

Newbie here- so all vinyl has paper backing?
