Print Project

Step 1

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.

Step 2

Click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of your screen.
TIP: If you need (or want) to change the size to fit your shirt, do so before you click ‘Make It’.

Step 3

In your preview screen, check ‘Mirror’ in the left panel to reverse your image.

Step 4

Now, click ‘Continue’ in the bottom right corner of your screen and choose your material.

Step 5

Place the iron-on material, shiny-side down, onto your cutting mat. Load the mat into your Cricut® machine, then press the blinking Cricut® icon to start cutting.
TIP: Watch the preview screen for which colour design is cutting first. Be sure to change the material so your machine knows how to cut your design.

Step 6

Once your machine is done cutting, use scissors to cut your design from the iron-on material roll. Next, use your weeder tool to remove all the excess material around and inside your design. You’ll be left with just the reversed design on the clear plastic carrier sheets, which are slightly sticky.

Step 7

Preheat your EasyPress™ to the appropriate temperature for your material and, if needed, adjust the timer.
TIP: See the Quick Reference Guide, included with your EasyPress™, for temperature and times or click here for an interactive guide. You can also use an iron to press your material. Just follow the instructions included in the iron-on material packaging.

Step 8

Place your shirt on top of your EasyPress™ mat and then preheat the fabric for 5 seconds.

Step 9

Place the carrier sheet with your design, so it’s sticky-side down, and place it onto your shirt. You should be able to see the layer through the carrier sheet, just as it will appear once ironed.

Step 10

Place your EasyPress™ on top of the design, apply the appropriate pressure for your material, and press the time button. Once it beeps, flip over your shirt and press for another 15 seconds. If your material is a warm peel, you may go ahead and peel off the carrier sheet. If it is a cool peel, let it cool completely before removing the carrier sheet.
