How Do You Do Iron on Vinyl on Cricut?

Iron-on vinyl is a great way to personalize t-shirts, bags, and other items with a Cricut cutting machine. It allows you to create custom designs with ease and precision.

Iron-on vinyl is easy to use and can be applied to many different types of fabrics. With a few simple steps, you can easily master the art of ironing on vinyl with a Cricut machine.

The first step in how to do iron on vinyl with a Cricut is to choose the right type of iron-on material. There are two main types: heat transfer vinyl (HTV) and adhesive vinyl (AV).

HTV is best for fabrics like cotton and polyester, while AV works better on materials such as leather and canvas. Make sure you also get the right color for your project – there are lots of colors available in both types.

Next, you will need to prepare the fabric for your project. Make sure it is clean and dry before you begin, then use an iron or heat press to preheat the area where you will be applying the vinyl. This will help the adhesive stick better.

Once your fabric is preheated, it’s time to apply the iron-on vinyl. Place your design onto your fabric and cover it with a piece of parchment paper or teflon sheet.

Then use your Cricut machine’s cutting mat to cut out your design. Finally, remove the excess material around your design.

After your design has been cut out, it’s time to apply it onto your fabric. Place it onto the preheated area of the fabric and cover it again with parchment paper or teflon sheet. Then use an iron or heat press at medium temperature for 10-15 seconds until all parts of your design have been firmly secured.
