Try These 4 Vinyl Transfer Projects for Kids

When you’re looking to explore some new craft ideas with your kids, heat transfer vinyl (HTV) may have the solution you’re looking for. Vinyl is easy to work with, perfect for stencils and childlike creativity, and easy to apply to several different surfaces. Try these four vinyl transfer projects for kids and see if they enjoy the world of crafting.

1. Custom T-Shirts

Creating their own T-shirt is a classic project. It’s easy to find blank shirts of varying sizes and colors, and kids can make any design they want to transfer onto it. Many classic shirt designs allow kids to experiment with shapes, patterns, color composition, or logos.

2. Their Own Apron

Many kids love to mimic their parents, and getting an apron may help teach them some new skills they may not have otherwise considered. Whether you want to focus on baking in the kitchen or grilling in the backyard, you and your kids can use HTV to create a distinct apron just for them. Consider having them adorn it with their favorite food or the classic “Kiss the cook” slogan.

3. Wooden Signs

If you want to try a different vinyl transfer project for kids that doesn’t involve applying vinyl to an article of clothing, a wood project may be up your alley. Unlike most adhesive vinyl, HTV sticks surprisingly well to wood and blends naturally into the grain to look more like paint than a sticker. If your child has a clubhouse or just wants a dedicated sign for their room, designing and creating your own sign on a piece of wood is an affordable and enjoyable craft project.

4. Ceramic Mugs

Parents often wake up every morning and enjoy a nice hot mug of coffee. Your children may be too young for coffee, but when they see their parents reaching for their favorite mug, it makes them want to have one too. You can use HTV to design a signature mug for your child to use. Whether they want to fill it up with hot cocoa, soup, or a nice cup of juice, you can clink your mugs together in the morning while you solve the daily Sudoku.
