If you’re looking to make a jersey for your favorite sports team using Cricut, the process is relatively straightforward. With a few simple steps and some creative thinking, you can create a custom jersey that you’ll be proud of. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Gather Supplies
The first step in making a Cricut jersey is to gather the supplies you need. You’ll need: a Cricut cutting machine; fabric of your choice; heat transfer vinyl; and an iron and ironing board. You may also want some extra materials such as scissors, pins, and thread.
Step 2: Design Your Jersey
Once you have your supplies ready, it’s time to design your jersey. Start by deciding what type of design you want on the front and back of your jersey. This could be an image of your favorite player, logo, or just something fun that reflects your style or team spirit.
Once you have an idea of what design you want to use, upload it into the Cricut Design Space software and create your cut file.
Step 3: Cut Out Fabric
Now that you have your design ready to go, it’s time to cut out the fabric for your jersey. Place the fabric onto the cutting mat with the right side facing up (this will be the side that is visible once the jersey is complete). Using the Cricut machine, cut out two pieces for the front and back of the jersey.
Step 4: Iron On Heat Transfer Vinyl
Once you have both pieces cut out, it’s time to apply heat transfer vinyl (HTV). Place one piece of HTV onto each side of the fabric with the shiny side facing down (this will be what appears on top once everything is ironed). Then place a cloth or parchment paper overtop and use an iron set on medium-high heat for 20-30 seconds per piece.
Step 5: Sew It Together
The last step in making a Cricut jersey is to sew it together. Place both pieces with right sides together and pin them in place.
Then sew around all edges using a zigzag stitch or straight stitch depending on what look you are going for. Trim away any excess fabric then turn right side out and admire your finished product!
Conclusion: Making a Cricut Jersey doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming! With just a few simple steps – gathering supplies, designing your jersey in Design Space software, cutting out fabric with your Cricut machine, applying heat transfer vinyl with an iron on medium-high heat settings and then sewing it all together – you can easily create a custom look that reflects who you are.
