Let's Chat DTF Designs!

ree

Adding DTF to your makeup bags acts as a base to some fun DIY, Maybe you don't have painting skills, or want to pull out your Cricut. You can order DTF embellishments to make a Bar for a group craft, add elements to your branding and more!


IF DTF doesn't feel that fancy and a little too easy, try adding pops of bling, hand painting on top or in spaces, adding embelishments like pom poms, Embroidery tulle, fabric, sequins, glitter and beads! DTF doesn't have to be for cheaters, it can be the start to an amazing DIY craft that anyone can do!


Your kit will come with some embellishments to get you started!

These totes Landice and I did (when she was 11) together are still one of MY FAVORITE projects we did. We started with the same SVG file from the membership and added them to a tote. She chose to paint inside the roses with chalked up paint and add PUFF paint to the HTV to make it look like it was fully hand done!


These could be great projects to prep for a craft event and make anyone feel super artsy!!!

I chose to do a faux watercolor look inside the lines of the HTV and add a little sprinkle of our ultra fine glitter
