How Do You Iron on Heat Transfer Vinyl Cricut?

The ability to iron on heat transfer vinyl (HTV) with a Cricut machine opens up an entire world of creative possibilities. Heat transfer vinyl, also known as HTV or “iron-on” vinyl, is a special type of vinyl that can be used to create custom designs and logos on fabric.

With a Cricut machine and some heat transfer vinyl, you can make beautiful custom t-shirts, bags, hats, and much more. You can use your own designs or purchase pre-made designs from the Cricut Design Space.

So how do you iron on heat transfer vinyl with a Cricut? It’s actually pretty simple!

First, you’ll need to gather the necessary supplies. You’ll need your Cricut machine, some heat transfer vinyl, an iron, and some fabric. Once you have all of your supplies ready to go, it’s time to start crafting!

Begin by cutting out your design using the appropriate settings in the Cricut Design Space. Make sure that your design is mirrored before you cut it out – this will ensure that the design looks right when it’s applied to the fabric. Once your design is cut out, weed away any excess material from around the edges of the design.

Next, place your design onto the fabric where you would like it to be. Heat up your iron and set it to “cotton” or “linen”.

Place a clean piece of parchment paper over top of the design and press firmly for 10-15 seconds. Then remove the parchment paper and check to make sure that all areas have been securely adhered.

Finally, turn your garment inside out and press for another 10-15 seconds on each side. Allow for cooling before wearing or washing.

With just a few simple steps you can create beautiful custom apparel using heat transfer vinyl with a Cricut machine! It’s really quite easy once you get familiar with the process – so why not give it a try today?
