How Do You Make an Iron on Shirt With a Cricut?

Iron-on shirts are a fun way to express your creativity, and with a Cricut, you can make them quickly and easily. Cricut is a digital crafting machine that can help you create unique designs for t-shirts, bags, hats, and more. With a few simple supplies, you can make an iron-on shirt with your Cricut in no time.

The first step in making an iron-on shirt with your Cricut is to select the design you want to use for the shirt. You can choose from hundreds of ready-made designs available on the Cricut website or create your own unique design using the Design Space software. Once you’ve chosen the design, upload it to your Cricut machine.

Next, it’s time to prepare the fabric for ironing on the design. Start by prepping the fabric by washing and drying it according to its care instructions. This will ensure that there are no wrinkles or other imperfections when applying the iron-on material.

Once your fabric is prepped and ready to go, place it on your cutting mat and load it into your Cricut machine. Select ‘iron-on’ as your material setting and adjust any settings if needed (e.g., blade depth). Then press ‘Go’ to get started.

Your Cricut will now cut out your design from the iron-on material of your choice. Once finished, carefully remove the excess material around your design so only the shape remains. Then peel off the plastic backing from the iron-on material.

Finally, place the fabric onto an ironing board with the wrong side facing up and then lay down your cutout design onto it. Place a cloth over top of everything and press down with a hot iron for about 20 seconds or until you see steam coming off of it.

And just like that, you have made an awesome new custom t-shirt with just a few simple steps! Making custom t-shirts has never been easier thanks to modern technology like a Cricut machine.

Conclusion:

Making an iron on shirt with a Cricut is easy and fun! All you need is some fabric, some iron-on material, and access to Design Space (or other images) to get started. With just a few steps – like loading up fabric into a cutting mat, selecting ‘iron-on’ as your material setting in Design Space, cutting out designs, removing excess material around shapes, peeling off plastic backing from designs – you can make custom shirts in just minutes!
