Putting PUFF VINYL To The Test…WHO FAILED?!

hey friends welcome to Makers going to learn in today's video I'm going to be showing you all all of the different puff vels that we have been testing out here in the Maker's going to learn Studios I'm going to tell you which ones worked and which ones flopped for us okay so there are lots of different ones here we have sectioned them off by the stores that we bought them from with the brand names and we have even tested them out on some mini canvas tote bags so you all can really see them for yourself and make your own determination so with that being said let's go ahead and jump right into it starting off with the Joann's brand Parker Lane they are a this is a 3D puff ironon vinyl we actually ordered red and the container even says that it's red but they sent us this neon orange so I'm not really sure what that's about um that was kind of the first dilemma it is a little bit brainy and it's not super puffy I will say that every single puff finnel comes with its own recommendations as far as heat settings go and how many times you need to press it so sometimes if your puff finel doesn't puff up a lot you need to press it a second time but in this case it didn't do anything else to it um you can tell it's not just normal vinyl but it's not super puffy either so I'm going to give this one like a six out of 10 the next brand is make Market this is by Michaels so if you have a local Michaels near you you can purchase this vinyl there I want to say the color is Christmas Noel um it didn't do amazing there are some spots where it was a little bit inconsistent like it's bubbled up here and it's really brainy and then in other spots a little it's a little bit smoother so it's not the best in my opinion um I have seen better I will say that and honestly I feel like the Park Lane from Joann's worked a little bit better than this one the next one I've got coming up you guys are going to love even more all right our third puff is the 405 brand from Hobby Lobby this puff vinyl has impressed me so much I have used this and grabbed this here and there just for projects for myself and honestly the puff vinyl is so good it's not super brainy it does puff up so you can really get that three-dimensional effect and it stays on after it's been washed a bunch of times which I really appreciate so this is the 405 brand now we did buy this in a red color but they also actually offer pattern puff options as well which I think is really cute I love this Floral Pattern so if you're wanting to try out pup funnel for the first time I would recommend trying out the 405 brand from Hobby Lobby if you have one near you a roll of this was $66.99 so it's really not that bad and you can get it at 40% off every other week all right so this next one is super puff now this puff is metallic it's a metallic super puff um but this stuff is so beautiful I have put it on so many different items and I really love this orange color it's like a almost like a Texas Longhorns Orange it's very beautiful um it does require two presses to get that true puff but it is really beautiful and the payout is just amazing I have layered this with glitter before it doesn't layer that well but it will work really well on its own sometimes if you put a glitter layer underneath it it kind of creates texture but if you don't it's usually very smooth smoother than any of the other puff vinyls which I really love and the fact that it's metallic really just makes it Shine so good and our last and vinyl puff this is my personal favorite is the Caesar brand this puff is so good it's never super brainy it's only one press and I just love how it works it's also a hot peel a lot of these are cool peels or warm peels you can just pop this one off I mean after you press it typically if I release the pressure it just pops the transfer sheet right off and then the shirt is ready to go not only that but the adhesive really holds the vinyl on there and it feels super high quality I mean even with me trying to scratch the vinyl off of the surface of the fabric it's going to stay really well and I appreciate that whenever I take the time to make a project I want it to stay in place so if you're getting any particular puff and you want to find the best of the best I'm going to recommend Caesar puff every single time and we will have all of these link below in the description for you guys if you are wanting to purchase them out of all of these I'm going to say that the make market and the Park Lane were probably my lowest on the totem pole my top contenders are going to be the 405 from Hobby Lobby or the Caesar puff and obviously the super puff I feel like it's in a category all its own cuz it's just on another level but these three over here have been my bests my go-to if I ever need vinyl these two not so much so hopefully this helps you if you have been trying to decide which pyl is right for you or maybe you tried puff finy and it didn't work previously you could have just been using a bad quality brand so try changing up your Brands make sure that you all are reading all of the instructions whenever you receive your puff bonnel cuz they all have very specific instructions for them um another brand that I recommend is Tech WP but like I said again they do have spe Specific Instructions for them and you always want to make sure that you're cutting the right side of the vinyl sometimes the carrier sheet on puff vinyl is not shiny it's matte and a lot of times HTV has that shiny carrier sheet so we know to put it shinys side down but I always try to remember carrier sheet side down especially when you're working with puff the good thing about joining maker going to learn is that whenever you get into your dashboard we actually have a resource for puff vinyl so you can see exactly how long you need to be pressing the vinyl how long you need to wait before you peel it off and all the things like that sometimes you've got to press it once sometimes you got to press it twice and it's hard to keep up with all that so we created a resource for you all that are interested in using puff vinyl so that you can easily access it and then do your crafts a lot smoother and more efficiently not only do we have a puff resource guide but we have tons of other resources if you are a crafter particularly a Cricut crafter we got so much information inside of our membership I'm going to put a link below for you all that you can get access to see what our website looks like what types of things we have to offer you're going to
