Supplies Needed for Shirt:

Cricut Maker or Explore Machine

Cricut MediumGrip Cutting Mat

Cricut Iron on Vinyl

Cricut EasyPress or EasyPress2

Cricut EasyPress Mat

Teacher Shirt Project in Cricut DesignSpace

Open up the Teacher Shirt Project in Cricut DesignSpace. You can Make It as is, or Customize to change the grade. Once you are ready to cut, load the mat with the Iron On material shiny side down.

When you are ready to cut, select Make It. In the DesignSpace software, make sure you select "Mirror" and then choose the appropriate material.

 

Once you press the blinking "C" on your machine, the DesignSpace will show you the progress of your cut and when it is complete and ready to unload.

I used my Cricut cutter to trim the vinyl down to the design before I put it on the shirt.

Weed the excess vinyl from the design using your fingers or a weeding tool.

Preheat your EasyPress or EasyPress 2 to the appropriate temperature according to your shirt material and type of Iron on vinyl, then press the design on to the shirt. Gently remove the backing to reveal the custom T-shirt! Use Cricut's Heat Guide (by clicking this link) to quickly find your instructions.
