Making Halloween Crafts for Preschoolers Using Adhesive Vinyl and HTV
Adhesive vinyl is a synthetic, water-resistant material that has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a backing that can easily be peeled off. Its thin, flexible surface makes it very easy to cut into precise and intricate designs. It comes in two types – permanent and removable adhesive vinyl. Adhesive vinyl can be applied to smooth, clean, dry, and non-porous surfaces.
Heat transfer vinyl, also known as HTV or iron-on vinyl, is an exceptionally useful crafting material. It is available in a wide array of colors, patterns, and finishes. It has a heat-activated adhesive backing and is mainly used on fabric-based materials made of cotton, polyester, and cotton blends.
