How to Personalize a Yoga Mat

I am sharing all my tips to the perfect way to personalize a Yoga Mat today as well as talking a bit about self-care for us Mommas and Mompreneurs! Grab a drink and let’s craft and chat!

The message behind the Cricut Explore Air 2 Wild Rose Bundle was to empower women to create fearlessly. I was completely on board. As a mother, creative, and small business owner I can totally relate and understand the challenges and importance of doing things fearlessly.

In addition to doing it all, we need to take care of ourselves and this is my most overlooked task as I take care of my family and my business. I always feel guilty doing things for myself but if I don’t I can’t fully move forward fearlessly in the other aspects of my life.

So I took this challenge not only to spark some creativity and empower you to craft and create with this beautiful and amazing machine but also to empower you to take care of YOU! With no guilt!

My first project was a DIY Journal! On the crafty side, I showed you how you can use the materials of the Wild Rose Bundle to create this personalized Journal. We used paper and the scoring tool with Cricut pens as well as vinyl and transfer paper! On the personal side, I hope you could have a place to journal, share your thoughts, feelings, goals, dreams, and memories. Take 5 minutes every morning for yourself!

My second project was a Monogrammed Water Bottle with layered adhesive vinyl. On the crafty side, I showed you my tried and true tips for layering adhesive vinyl the easy way using the most beautiful patterned vinyl from the Natalie Malan collection exclusive to JOANN’s. Personal side: Take that time to drink water, take a walk, eat healthy meals. Invest in you.

Today on the crafty side I am showing you how to use iron on to personalize a yoga mat with the new EasyPress 2 Rose Bundle! Yes, you can use iron on with foam yoga mat, I will show you how! On the personal side, I hope you combine the journal, water bottle and yoga mat (or whatever your form of relaxation is) and do it! Take the time. Go to the class, meet for lunch, read the book. Take time for YOU!

Let’s get crafty first and if you make it all the way to the bottom of this post there is a giveaway to win a Rose EasyPress 2 Bundle for yourself!

Can I use Iron-on with a Yoga Mat?

The answer is yes! I actually prefer it! Regular adhesive vinyl can also be used, however I found that iron-on is much more durable and lasts longer! I also prefer to work with iron-on over adhesive vinyl, but that is a personal preference!

A protective sheet or a piece of parchment paper (both work great) is required and the idea “low and slow”. I use a lower temperature of 275F and press for 30-45 seconds. I normally start at 30 seconds and add on more time if needed in 15-second increments.

You can follow the interactive EasyPress guide to find if the iron on you are using is cool or warm peel.
