While we’re calling this our Cricut heat press guide, you’ll be able to follow along even if you don’t have a Cricut press (or any heat press, really).Ī regular iron works great, too! What is Cricut iron-on vinyl?Ĭricut Iron-on vinyl, also called heat transfer vinyl ( HTV ), is a type of vinyl with a heat-sensitive adhesive. How do I get my HTV to stay on after washing it?.Which side of the transfer paper or parchment paper do you place against the iron?.Which vinyl should I use for other uses, like permanent adhesive vinyl?.Can I use transfer paper or freezer paper?.How can you use multiple colors of vinyl on your cutter?.What temperature do I use for Everyday Iron-on?.Once you have your pieces cut out and separated, place 2 felt circles on your mat or towel. Then, cut out your felt and HTV with your Cricut I placed my felt on a pink fabric grip mat and my HTV on a green standard grip mat with the shiny side down. Press the green make it button in the top right corner and prepare your mats. Just press duplicate for as many pairs as you want You could easily print off a dozen pairs or so at one time to save time in the long run. Now, just click duplicate for each set of circles.
When I have them exactly where I want them, I will move the black circle out from behind them, hold my mouse down over them and then click the weld button to keep them together. Now, I will line up my white circles on top of my black circle. Go ahead and add 3 circles to your design space.įor the black felt piece, I sized it down to 1” across.įor the 2 smaller parts of the eyes, go ahead and change both of the circles to white On the left side, go down to shapes and select circle. Head on over to your Cricut Design Space and start a new project. She will show you the different results and this may be of some help to you.īut, if you have a Maker, don’t waste your time with the fine point blade, just use the rotary blade! You can find a post HERE where a fellow blogger tried different types of felt with different Cricuts. So, if you have an Explore or a Joy, I’d definitely say to buy the Cricut Brand Felt or you may just have a hot mess on your hands and probably get frustrated. I’ve read that the Cricut brand felt is thinner and made from a different material than the cheap acrylic felt that I used. So, that being said….That may have been my problem with trying to cut it with the fine point blade. Mine that I bought was only $0.33 a piece. I just used the regular felt that you can buy at any craft store or even Walmart. I will say that I did NOT use the Cricut brand felt. I’ve read that the fine point blade is supposed to cut through felt. Now, I know what some of y’all are saying….You want to make felt eyes with your Cricut Explore or the Cricut Joy.
CRICUT IRON ON VINYL ON FELT HOW TO
***UPDATE*** I have learned a trick as how to cut through felt with any of the Cricut machines! Whether it’s the Joy, Explore Air or the Maker, you can cut it with the fine point blade. But, I also know that the rotary blade is exclusive for the Cricut Maker. So, I swapped out the fine point blade for the rotary cutter blade on my Maker. I had placed my felt on a pink fabric grip mat and that still didn’t help. It basically just left an indention in the felt. I tried multiple times to cut through the felt with just my fine point blade on my Cricut….I never could get the blade to cut all the way through the felt. But, I will share with you a couple different things that I encountered when I tried to make my felt eyes. I will go ahead and start off by telling you that I am in no way an expert with my Cricut, at least not yet, LOL.
