DIY Jack-o-lantern Shirt with Cricut EasyPress
Free downloadable jack-o-lantern image perfect for making this DIY pumpkin shirt and a great review of the cool Cricut EasyPress.
Supplies
- Orange shirt or fabric to make a shirt I used the Happy Feet shirt pattern and love the contrasting green for the neck and sleeve binding
- Black iron-on vinyl
- Jack-o-lantern image available for free to my email subscribers
- Cricut Maker
- Cricut Easy Press
Instructions
- Import the jack-o-lantern image into Cricut design space and cut from vinyl. Remember to place the vinyl plastic side down and set your machine to iron-on. I used my Cricut Maker and it cut it perfectly.
- Weed the image (remove the negative pieces so you just have the jack-0-lantern pieces.)
- Press your shirt or front bodice piece of fabric to remove any moisture or wrinkles.
- Position. your vinyl with the plastic side UP.
- With the EasyPress up to temperature (just go by the directions on your vinyl to set the temp). Press the vinyl to the shirt with a little pressure. I do this on my homemade pressing board but anything that’s firm and heatproof (like a table with a thickly folded towel) will do.
- Starting slowly at a corner peel the plastic off (stop and reheat if it seems like the vinyl has not fully adhered to your fabric/shirt).
- If sewing finish making the shirt otherwise you’re good to go!
