Which Vinyl Do I Need?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!  I am wanting to make a monogram tote bag for myself.  I found the the faux leather tote bag at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $11.  Everyone on etsy selling these for $25 or more.  I have a uscutter plotter.  The problem is I don't know which heat transfer vinyl works on this type of material.  Everywhere I have read says this material is a pvc not leather.  Please if anyone has made these and know which vinyl works I would appreciate them letting me know.  Thanks

Good evening --  glad that you're here.

 

Is the bag a smooth solid finish? (slick & straight, not contoured or stippled or anything)

 

If so, I would imagine that a straight-on decal with regular (or high-performance) vinyl would work. Especially if it's sticking to pvc anyway.

Siser EasyWeed lists leather as being a suitable application surface. Never tired it on leather myself.
