My First Vinyl T-Shirt using the Cricut

Here is a picture of the shirt I made this afternoon.  I used heat transer vinyl and the Indie Art solutions cartridge for the skull.  Now that I know how to do this, I'm ready to help the kids with their designs now!  Keep checking back to see what we create this weekend!
Quick How to:

  1. Place the vinyl in the circut at 3x3x3 settings.  Vinyl should be dull side up.

  2. Flip the image you want to cut using the cricut expression flip function.

  3. Cut.

  4. Weed (or peel) off the excess vinyl that you don't want.

  5. Iron on the shirt - glossy side up about 10-15 seconds.

  6. Peel off the glossy layer on the vinyl.

Supplies I used:
