Can You Make Onesies With a Cricut?
Making onesies with a Cricut is not only possible, but can be a great way to add a personal touch to any baby shower gift or just make a fun item for your own little one. With the ability to cut fabric, as well as iron-on vinyl and heat transfer vinyl, you have the tools you need to make simple or elaborate designs for your baby’s onesie.
Before beginning, you need to gather the supplies needed for your project. You will need onesies in the desired size, color, and fabric type that you want to decorate.
Additionally, you will need iron-on vinyl or HTV (heat transfer vinyl) in the colors of your choice. All of these items can be purchased online or at craft stores.
Once you have all of your materials gathered, it’s time to start crafting! With Cricut Design Space software, you can easily create simple onesie designs with shapes and text or upload an image of your own creation. After designing the onesie in Design Space, mirror the image before cutting it out with whichever material you’ve chosen for your project.
If using iron-on vinyl, be sure to attach it firmly with an iron before moving on to the next step. For HTV projects, use a heat press machine (or an iron) set at 305 degrees Fahrenheit and press for 15 seconds on each side of the garment. Peel back the clear film from both sides after pressing and let cool completely before wearing or washing.
Once all of your pieces are pressed onto the fabric and have cooled off completely, it’s time for assembly! To put together your onesie design(s), use a sewing machine (or needle and thread if preferred) according to manufacturer instructions included with your machine; this is usually done by setting the stitch length between 2-3mm and using a medium tension setting throughout.
Once assembled, it’s ready for wear! Your finished product should turn out beautifully – perfect for any special occasion or everyday wear!
Conclusion: Making onesies with a Cricut is not only possible but easy too! With access to various materials such as iron-on vinyl and heat transfer vinyl, creating beautiful designs are made effortless. Gather all necessary supplies beforehand then design away in Design Space – assemble according to instructions – voila – an adorable custom made onesie is ready!
