Using iron-on transfer paper with your Cricut machine is a great way to create customized shirts, bags and other fabric projects. Iron-on transfer paper allows you to use your Cricut machine to cut out designs from iron-on material that can be transferred onto fabric. This gives you the ability to personalize fabric items with your own designs without having to sew or paint them by hand.
Before getting started, it’s important to make sure you have the right type of transfer paper for your project.
There are several types of iron-on transfer paper available for Cricut machines, including vinyl, heat transfer and glitter. You’ll need to make sure you pick the right type for your project.
Once you have the right type of transfer paper, you’ll need to prepare it for use in your Cricut machine. Begin by cutting the iron-on material into a shape that’s slightly bigger than the design you want to cut out.
This will allow for easy placement when transferring onto fabric.
Next, place the material onto a cutting mat and load it into your Cricut machine. Use the software on your machine to create a design that suits your project and then adjust any settings if needed before sending it off to be cut.
After cutting out your design, carefully peel away any excess material from around it so that only the design remains. Then place it onto the fabric where you’d like it and press an iron over it for 30 seconds at medium heat with no steam.
Conclusion:
With a few simple steps, using iron on transfer paper with a Cricut machine can help you create personalized fabric items quickly and easily! You can use this technique for a variety of projects such as t-shirts, bags, hats and more!
