Hey guys! I finally found the Crafter's square adhesive vinyl, transfer tape, and tools at my Dollar Tree. I test it all out in this video and share my thoughts on how it works. If you've picked some up I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you like to make with the vinyl.

Ive tried a few of them so far. The standards have worked just as well as other brands of vinyl but there is paper backing to he aware of. I just scrape the paper off the mat after weeding, since its not quite as thick as cricut vinyl. The DT glitters (rose gold and silver) are STUNNING under lighting, but a little hard to use. I would recommend a light pressure for them Love the DT extras though (scrapers, pink weeding pen, spatulas, etc.).

I bought it and used it for names on tumblers. Weeds easy but moves in the backing especially for individual letter. I used clear packing tape to keep in place once weeded and used that as my transfer tape. Placed on the tumbler and sealed with clear gloss. No issues with epoxy. Was afraid would lift but I sealed it really well and was very happy with it. I cut on removable vinyl setting and had some cut through areas but didn’t affect using it. Was very happy.
