How Do You Make a Transfer on Cricut?

Making a transfer on a Cricut machine is a great way to design and personalize any craft project. Whether you’re making custom t-shirts, mugs, or signs, using a Cricut to make transfers can help you create unique and professional-looking designs. With the right materials and tools, you can begin creating custom transfers in no time.

To start making transfers with your Cricut machine, you will need to gather the supplies you need. You’ll need transfer paper in either light or dark depending on the color of the material you’re transferring onto, an iron (or EasyPress), scissors, and of course the Cricut machine itself. If you’re transferring onto fabric, it may be helpful to have a piece of parchment paper as well.

Once all your supplies are gathered, it’s time to get started. First, design your transfer on your computer using Cricut Design Space or other compatible software.

When you have your design complete and ready for cutting, upload it into Design Space and select “Make It”. Next choose “Transfer” as the material type from the list of options available.

The next step is to cut out your design with the Cricut machine. Load your chosen transfer paper into the machine according to its instructions and press “Go” when ready. When it is finished cutting out your design peel away any excess material around it until only the image remains.

Now that all pieces are cut out it is time to begin transferring them onto their desired item. To do this place parchment paper (if needed) over top of where you want the transfer applied on your item then place the cut out piece on top of that also making sure it is facing up in its correct orientation. For fabric items preheat an iron (or EasyPress) for 10-20 seconds before pressing down firmly for 15 seconds at a time.
