Making your own shirt at home with a Cricut machine is a great way to express your creativity. With the Cricut, you can design and cut custom designs for t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops and more. The possibilities are endless!
Before you start your project, there are a few things you will need to get started. You will need Cricut Design Space software, a cutting mat, an iron-on material of your choice, an iron and an ironing board.
Once you have gathered all of the necessary materials, the first step is to choose a design for your shirt. You can either create one on your own or use one of the many already available in Design Space. If you choose to create one on your own, make sure that it is compatible with the size of the material that you have chosen for your project.
Once you have decided on a design, it’s time to size it up and prepare it for cutting. Use the Design Space tools to resize or edit the design as needed. When it is finished and ready for cutting, load the mat into the Cricut machine.
The next step is to select “iron-on” from the list of materials in Design Space. This will ensure that when you cut out your design it will be compatible with the iron-on material that you have chosen.
Now that everything has been set up properly, hit “Go” on the Cricut machine and watch as it cuts out your design. Once complete remove it from the mat and place it onto the shirt where desired.
Iron On The Design
Now comes time for application. Preheat your iron according to instructions on package of material used. Place a piece of parchment paper over top of design and then press firmly with hot iron for 30 seconds or until desired adhesion is achieved.
