117 Craft Blanks Ideas for Cricut, Silhouette and Heat Presses

If you’re like most beginner crafters, one of the first diy projects you tried was heat pressing or ironing a t-shirt with heat transfer vinyl (htv), but now you want to find more craft blanks ideas.

What material can you use iron on vinyl on?

After you have experimented with making t-shirts you may be ready to move on and try a few other projects.

But you may be wondering what surfaces will work with HTV.

What material can you use adhesive vinyl on?

Some materials won’t work with heat transfer vinyl.  In those cases, swap the htv for adhesive or stretchable vinyl.

This is a good solution for delicate surfaces, highly textured surfaces, or stretchy surfaces.

After you have tried a few different materials, you may want to start creating your own designs, to really make your projects stand out.

In any case, you can still have fun seeing what materials you prefer over others.  I have come up with a list of 117 DIY blanks ideas that you can try.
