Absolutely beautiful.
These turned out great!! Going to try to do a keychain this way… let’s hope it’s successful!
Thanks! Very helpful!
This is genius and could be use the same way as circuit party foil just more steps since circuit party foil is discontinued
How much did you increase the depth for the second pass
Waooooo 💜💜💜
Looking at the previous comparison video, I thought Curio would be more suitable for shrink film work. (Because it's a hard material) I am curious now I saw you using portrait.
How is it for real use? Is the portrait better to cut the shrink film?
It does cut with the Portrait, but it is a little bit more of a process. The easiest cut I have gotten with shrink plastic is with the Cameo 4 and the kraft blade.
Very beautiful, Did you print directly on the shrink plastic?
Yes!
this is so nice thank you, but how did you manage to get the silhouette to read the material without registration marks?
I also don’t know how to make silhouette read material without registration mark!
hello, I used blade 10, force 33, but the clear shrink flim didn’t fully cut. Should I change to 2mm blade instead of the original blade? thanks.
Hi was watching your video and wanted to try it myself but for some reason my machine cuts above and through my design.. Any idea why it may be doing that?
Do you have to seal this once done? Love your work.
I seal the printed side with uv resin
Be careful to use gloves and a respirator with an organic solvent filter when using UV resin. Plenty brands lie about being non-toxic when they're really toxic and quite dangerous for your health.
You dont put a resin layer to finish them?
I'm having some trouble running my paper through my machine. I keep getting a error massage saying it cannot register the paper. Any help would be appreciated.
Is the Silhouette having trouble with the registration marks?
Does your ink rub off the plastic when touching cuz mine does. What settings are you using t
I didn't have any issues with the ink rubbing off. What type of printer and shrink plastic are you using?
Ya same. I was using glossy plastic and a normal printer that I connected to my computer with silhouette studio
@@kaylanek1 Did you use the printable kind? Since the normal one shouldn't work I think
Please what printer do you use to print the base colour?
I printed these with my Canon inkjet printer. (This an affiliate link for the printer I used - amzn.to/36ZC9cg)
Do you also use it for print in to heat tranfer vinyl? thank you for your time
hi can I use scissors for the paper?
I think yes
Yes you can buy cheaper shrink paper if you want to hand draw and cut yourself too
Yes absolutely!
It's a shame when a small creator doesn't reply to questions in the comments.
I'm sorry. I do my best but things fall through the cracks all the time.
