Go Beyond the Shirt: HTV on Home Décor
When you think heat transfer vinyl, usually shirts are the first thing that comes to mind. Let’s put an end to that…

Heat transfer vinyl (HTV) can be used on more than just the standard 100 percent cotton. Try HTV on these surfaces:
- Wood (can be used on raw, stained, or painted wood)
- Burlap
- Canvas
- Cork
- Fabric other than wearables (dish towels, placemats, blankets, and more)
- Sports balls
- Glass
- Ceramics
- Metal
Make sure to test your HTV on each surface before applying your entire design and purchase extra vinyl and product blanks.
A little inspiration to get you started:
- Enhance any room with throw pillows showing your favorite quote, monogram, or graphic.

- Create custom cork coasters to brighten up any conference room.

- Display your favorite quotes in any room with signage decorated with HTV.
