The star of the show of this project is my new HTVRONT Auto Heat Press machine! I received this machine in exchange for this post and my honest review. 

I'm also an HTVRONT affiliate, so sales will give me a small commission. Thank you!😘 


My Christmas gift came early this year and I've had about a week to try out this machine. Let me just say it's made my handmade gift making much easier!


Here's 3 things I love about the HTVRONT Auto Heat Press:

  • Large Heat Press size, it measures 15x15 inches!
  • Even Pressure--No standing, pushing, slipping or uneven heating!
  • So easy to use! Heats up quickly, quietly and super simple button menu!

And, it's Blue--I am so glad they sent me the blue one, I love it!

It's a fantastic price for an auto heat press--Under $300! (compared to other brands at $800)

Honestly, now that I have it, I can't imagine my craft game without it! I really love it!


**HTVRONT also sells vinyl, HTV and other types of heat presses. They have great prices--you'll be seeing much more about this next year!

Immediately, the heat press will press the heat element down on the pad for the amount of time selected.

Finally, stuff the pillow case full of stuffing or a pillow form and it's ready to gift!


Note: The sequins do rotate a bit when flipped up and down, so there is some shifting in the photo. It's still a really fun, thoughtful gift!
