When I bought my cricut machine one of the selling points in their add was it's ability to cut fabric. I had been meaning to try it out but hadnt got around to it yet.
I ironed a bandana to a sheet of iron-on adhesive. Without removing the paper backing I trimmed the bandana to 12x12 and placed it on my cricut cutting mat. I chose a deer my son liked for the back and a set of deer tracks for the front pocket. Before cutting fabric I suggest searching online for tips on cutting the type of fabric your using. You can usually find someone that's already done a lot of trial and error and can recommend the correct speed./pressure/blade setting. (I didn't do this and tore my fabric a few times).
not the best pic sorry! |
Once your design is cut, remove the paper backing and iron it onto your shirt. You'll need to either stitch around the edges or go around them with a fabric paint. I chose to hand stitch x's as an outline.
Really cute. I would love for you to share this project on my Inspiration Board.
