What is color changing vinyl? 

This craft vinyl will change color when either heat or cold are applied. It will change back to the original color at room temperature.

You have both vinyl that reacts to heat and vinyl that reacts to cold. Depending on what you are putting it on, you may want to choose the type that will work best.

Color changing vinyl can add something show-stopping to your craft projects. But how do you use it? How does it work? Is there anything special you need to do to it? We are answering that and so much more!

This temperature color changing vinyl will react when whatever it is on changes temperature. So, if you were to add to heat reactive vinyl to a mug and pour in coffee, the vinyl would change color as the surface itself heats up.

What surfaces can you put it on? 

You can add color changing vinyl to any surface that you would use adhesive vinyl on. So, think about glasses, mugs, plates, outdoor signs, and more. I will note here that insulated mugs and tumblers will not work. The surface must change temperature in order for the material to work. In the image below, I found that the two mugs to the left did not work while the others did.

How to Use Color Changing Vinyl with a Cricut?

Cut

Choose a SVG and Create your design on Design Space. This cuts like any other vinyl. Add the material face up to your cutting mat and cut your design. Pay attention to one thing that Color Changing Vinyl, unlike heat transfer vinyl, doesn’t need to be mirrored.

After finishing cutting, it’s time for you to weed the excess vinyl around the design.

Transfer
Cut a piece of transfer tape for vinyl. We have red and blue alignment adhesive transfer tape.
