How Do I Put Iron on Vinyl on My Cricut?

Making your own vinyl projects with Cricut is a great way to customize your home decor, clothing and other items. You can choose from a wide variety of colors and designs to create something unique and special. But if you want to take your projects to the next level, you may want to try putting iron on vinyl on your Cricut.

Iron on vinyl is a great way to add a personal touch to any project. It can be used on fabric, wood, plastic and more, so it’s perfect for all sorts of projects. The best part about using iron on vinyl is that it doesn’t require any special tools or equipment; all you need is an iron and some basic supplies.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

You will need:

  • Cricut machine
  • Iron-on Vinyl
  • Fabric or other material for the project
  • Iron
  • Teflon sheet or parchment paper

Step 2: Cut Your Design

The first step in putting iron on vinyl on your Cricut is to cut out the design you want using the machine. You can use any design stored in the library or upload your own design file.

Make sure that when you cut out the design that it’s mirrored so that it will be placed onto the fabric correctly. Once you have your design cut out, remove it from the mat.

Step 3: Prepare Your Fabric

Next, prepare the fabric by making sure it’s clean and free of lint or debris. You can also use a Teflon sheet or parchment paper between the iron and fabric while pre-heating.

Step 4: Position Your Design

Take your design and place it onto the fabric where you want it positioned. Use a ruler or other straight edge if needed to make sure everything is lined up correctly.

Step 5: Place Iron-On Vinyl Onto Fabric

Once everything is lined up, place the iron-on vinyl onto the fabric where you want it positioned and press down firmly with an iron set to medium heat (no steam). Make sure that all edges are adhered firmly before moving onto the next step.

Step 6: Remove Backing From Vinyl

After pressing down firmly with an iron, carefully peel off any backing from the vinyl that remains attached. At this point, you should have a fully adhered piece of iron-on vinyl on your fabric!

Conclusion

Putting iron-on vinyl onto your Cricut projects will add a personal touch like no other! It’s easy enough for even beginner crafters to do with some basic supplies at home. With these steps in mind, anyone can put iron on vinyl on their Cricut in no time!
