Customize a plain shirt using iron on vinyl! You can make all sorts of designs for custom projects and family vacation tees when you learn to use Cricut iron on vinyl on a shirt!
Lately I’ve been writing more basic Cricut tutorials—things that beginners need to know to make the most of their machine right out of the box. Today we’re talking t-shirts. Whether you want to make a one-off shirt for an event or a dozen different shirts for a family trip to a theme park, you’ll want to follow the tips and tricks in this post to get the best results.
I’ve been crafting with my gorgeous Wild Rose Cricut Explore Air 2, which is exclusively found at JOANN. This is part of my series talking about why I’m a #fearless crafter, but this tutorial also applies to making shirts with the Cricut Maker!
Let’s get started!
What T-Shirts Work Best with Cricut Iron On?
When looking for shirts for your iron on project, I suggest going with 100% cotton, 100% polyester, or a 50/50 blend of the two. I have found that quality counts when it comes to your shirt—a higher quality shirt is going to have a better result with iron on vinyl.
You can use other shirt materials, like nylon, though you’ll want to make sure you’re choosing the right type of iron on vinyl to get the best result, as you’ll see in the next section.
What Type of Cricut Iron On Vinyl Works Best On Shirts?
For cotton and polyester, Cricut Everyday Iron On will be your best choice for “regular” vinyl, and almost all of Cricut’s specialty vinyls like glitter and foil will work as well.
The one exception is if you want to use an “activewear” shirt material, like nylon or stretchy polyesters. Then you’ll want to use Cricut SportFlex Iron On. It’s designed to stretch with the material, meaning that it’s less likely to crack or peel.
Preparing a Shirt for Iron On Vinyl
Before you make your shirt, pre-wash it. If your material is prone to shrinking, you’ll want it to shrink before you put the iron on vinyl on your shirt. If you do it after, there’s a chance it might crack or peel off after the first few washes.
I also like to iron my shirt before I get started. Not only does this give a flat surface to work on, it helps me lay out my shirt evenly, so I know that I am getting my cut out in the center of my shirt.
Cutting Iron On to Use on a Shirt
Let’s start by cutting our our iron on to use on our shirt. I created this fun file in Cricut Design Space that says Full Hands, Full Heart. You can make this file, choose one of the thousands of other images in Cricut Design Space, or upload your own!
As a business owner and a mom of young twin boys, I have gotten more than my fair share of “woah, you have your hands full!” comments over the last four years. You really do have to be #fearless to be an entrepreneur or a twin mom…and I’m BOTH!
The “hands full” always makes me want to roll my eyes. My boys are pretty darn easy kids and while having twins was hard in the beginning, it’s awesome now.
Built-in best friends who had to learn patience and sharing from day one? Yes please! They make it easy for me to run my business—they can play independently from me more than any other kids I know.
So now when people tell me my hands are full, I usually respond with “my heart is full too!” I designed this file in Design Space to be a cute encapsulation of that sentiment.
Before cutting your file, make sure that it is sized however large you’d like the decal on your shirt. Use Cricut’s templates to help you size your decal correctly (click here for a detailed post on using templates).
Then click Make It in the upper right of Cricut Design Space to cut your project!
In the Prepare Screen, you’ll see that your two colors of iron on are split onto two mats. Before continuing, you MUST make sure Mirror is turned on for both layers. Iron on vinyl cuts in reverse, so this step is vital if you do not want your words to be backward on your shirt.
Then place your iron on face-down (shiny side down) on your cutting mat.
If you are using a Cricut Explore, turn the dial to “iron on.” If you are using a Cricut Maker, you’ll choose iron on from the materials directly in Design Space.
Then insert your mat into your machine by pushing the blinking arrow button. Press the blinking C and your vinyl will cut! Cut both layers.
Once your layers are done, you’ll want to weed them. This means you’re removing anything that doesn’t belong on your decal. In this case, that’s the iron on around the heart and inside the letters. I have an extensive post on weeding iron on vinyl that you’ll want to check out.
Now you’re ready to adhere your iron on to your shirt! I love using my EasyPress 2. I have an iron, an EasyPress, and a heat press and 99% of the time turn to my EasyPress over the other two heating methods. Find out why by checkout out my comparison post. I’m using this gorgeous new Rose EasyPress 2, which is also an exclusive at JOANN. It comes with bonus iron on vinyl as well—everything you need to get started making a project!
I am loving all of these shades of pink in my craft room!
Lay out your shirt on an EasyPress mat or folded towel on a solid surface. Make sure it’s flat and even. You don’t want your decal off center because you didn’t take the time to make sure your placement was correct.
Place your two layers of vinyl on your shirt to get the ideal placement. Then remove one layer so you’re only working with a single layer at a time.
Make sure to check out my post on layering iron on vinyl for even more information. Obviously if you’re working with a single layer, you just have to do this process once.
Regular iron on vinyl has a temperature setting of 315°. Press for 30 seconds.
Peel back the plastic carrier sheet and your iron on should adhere to your shirt. If not, press again.
Then place your second layer down. I actually cut as close as I could to the bottom edge of the pink (after I took this photo) so it wouldn’t leave an imprint in the black vinyl. I also use a piece of fabric between my iron on and my EasyPress. This way the already-pressed iron on doesn’t come in contact with the plate of my EasyPress. It can lead to bubbles.
Peel off that second carrier sheet. Then flip your shirt inside out, and do a 15-second press of your iron on from the backside. Sometimes I think this final press is the secret to getting really good adherence!
You’ll want to make your shirt last! Make sure not to wash it for at least 24 hours, giving the adhesive time to cure. Then wash, inside out, in cold water. Hang to dry and then enjoy wearing your DIY shirt!
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Get your #fearless mom or friend a new Wild Rose Cricut Explore Air 2 or Rose Cricut EasyPress 2 from JOANN!

Love all your creative creations , and are so inspiring. Me and my daughters have been so excited using the cricut maker but now with more idea juices flowing through our minds we can’t wait to see what we can see what we can produce and we have just been using old fashion ironing and can’t wait to see how it would make thing more enjoyable and ease and better results in working with some of the upgraded products like the easy press . You make it seem so easy and oh so cute items love seeing to apply these ideas to shirts , onesies, shirts , totes , and hopefully other items as well like the cereal containers was such a great idea . Thank you for blogging and having us as followers .

The easy press looks so much simpler to use than an iron since you can set an exact temperature and time to press! The first time I did iron on I melted the carrier sheet with my iron because it was too hot and I didn’t know it. 🤦🏼♀️

I’ve been really wanting an EasyPress! I have a Girl Scout Troop and I’m planning to have them make their own shirts. Many of them are interested in making stuff to sell to raise funds for our service projects too. This would make it so much easier!
Sara R. says
I’ve wondered how the easy press works compared to a heat press. I like using the heat press but it takes up a lot of space and is not easy to move around. The easy press seems to more practical option.
Sandra Philalack says

Evelyn Medina says
Ty for the information!! So inspiring!
Kelly says
How do you best place your shirt vinyls? Sometimes I feel like they look right on the shirt, but then look too high/low once I put the shirt on. Any tips? Necklines tend to mess me up, too… I will get the placement right for a deep v, but then, it looks crazy on a crew neck.
Karen Gutierrez says
Hey!
What are the benefits from using the easy press compared to a big press?? I’m debating on which of the two to get.
Thanks!
Teresa says
I would soo like to win this! Thank you for the opportunity!!!

Stacie H says
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Kristine Ramos says
This project is so cool! Thank you for sharing! Love your blog and Instagram, and the color on that press is gorgeous!!
Kyli Mecum says
Do you have to put a lot of weight on the easy press? Just Just wondering how the vinyl holds up. Does it get enough “pressure”
Love it! Thanks for an easy tutorial! 😊😊
Heather Hoy says
Love this. Great shirt. Thank you for a great explanation!
Genia says
Love your craft room
Rachel L Shewmaker says
Love everything you do.
Allison Y says
I have an ooooooold cricut, and seeing all the fun, cool stuff you can do makes me want to get a new one!
Sarah says
Do you have to push / apply pressure with the easy press or just sit it on? And do you have to count how long it’s on or will it tell you?
Nancy M says
Regarding the time, you set the time on the easy press and once you press start it counts down for you and beeps when times up. I dont know if youre *supposed* to press down or not. Good question. Maybe someone else can answer that. I do though. :)
Carole says
Pink is my fave!!
Sarah says
I have been working with my vinyl cutter for almost 2 years now and I have wanted an easy press since the beginning but continue to use my regular iron. 🤷♀️

Shannon Blanchette says
Love, love, LOVE this idea! I always have a hard time lining up my pieces, and you make it look easy. They seem to shift or shrink when I do it. Maybe it’s just my heat temp is too high?
Rachael says
I’ve never done any iron-ons with more than 1 color. This tutorial makes it look super easy, and I might now have the confidence to break out of that and try something a little more difficult now! Thanks!!

Thank You for all you do for everyone. I am slowly learning.
Michelle Kimmell says
My very first iron project: I made some coozies for my nephews wedding and used a regular iron…wish I had an easy press! Most of them turned out OK but there were a few I had to throw out. I’m a teacher, so I have a group of elementary students who are designing shirts and an easy press would be better than worrying about them getting burned on a regular iron. Thanks for your tutorial!!!
Sandra Pride says
There’s always more projects to get done! That’s why we have jumbled craft rooms or crap room as my son-in-law calls it!

I am a Cricut newbie. Thanks for the tips
Tiffany says
Great tutorial! I love the tip to iron from the backside of the project as well. The EasyPress makes it look super simple. My iron on projects never seem to stick that well, partly because of my cheap old iron but I think the ironing from the reverse side is a great extra step to ensure adhesion.
Pam Baker says

I Love the pink colors of all your Cricut items. Sure would love to win the easy press.

Thanks for the tips in this post. I didn’t know about not letting the heat touch the vinyl the 2nd time. I surely don’t want to get bubbles!

Amber says
Do you have a way to soften stiff vinyl on shirts?
Cori says
Hi Amber,
The stiffness often depends on the type of vinyl you choose. You may have better results with a lighter material such as Siser EasyColor DTV instead :)
