Custom Team Sweatshirt with Cricut Iron-on

Ready to show off your team spirit in a fun and creative way? Making your own custom team sweatshirt with Cricut Iron-on is a great project that lets you mix your team colors into a unique piece of clothing. Whether you're cheering for the Green Bay Packers or another favorite team, this guide will show you how to make a sweatshirt that really shows off your team pride. With just a few materials and some easy techniques, you'll have a cool and personal piece that's sure to stand out!
Materials:
- Cricut Iron-on in team colors
- Cricut Heat Press Machine
Directions:
First, buy two sweatshirts that are the same style but in different colors that match your team's colors. For example, if you're a Green Bay Packers fan, you could pick one sweatshirt in green and another in yellow. Then, carefully cut each sweatshirt in half like shown. This will let you create a custom piece that mixes both colors, giving you a unique and personalized sweatshirt to show off your team spirit.
Pick one sweatshirt with the right side in one color, and the other sweatshirt with the left side facing out in the complementary color. Line up the cut edges of each sweatshirt with the inside facing each other, then pin them securely in place. Next, use your sewing machine to stitch along the pinned edges to join the two halves. This will smoothly combine the two colors, giving you a custom shirt that shows off both colors in a cool, unique way.
Upload your team’s SVG file to Cricut Design Space. Once uploaded, follow the on-screen instructions in Design Space to cut the design from Cricut Iron-on material. After cutting, carefully weed out the excess iron-on material using your preferred weeding tools to reveal the final design.
Finally, consult Cricut’s Heat Guide for detailed instructions on applying the iron-on using your Cricut heat press.
The Cricut Heat Guide is an online tool designed to assist crafters in applying heat transfer materials accurately and effectively. It provides detailed instructions on how to use Cricut heat presses and iron-on products. By entering specifics such as the type of material you’re using (e.g., Infusible Ink or Iron-on), the base material you’re applying it to (e.g., a T-shirt or a tote bag), and the type of heat press or iron you’re using, the Heat Guide delivers tailored recommendations.
These recommendations include precise temperature settings, recommended pressing times, and pressure adjustments to ensure optimal adhesion and durability of your design. The guide also offers tips for preheating your base material and post-pressing care to help achieve professional-quality results. It’s a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced crafters, ensuring that each project turns out just as envisioned.
And there you have it! With just a few simple steps, you've turned two basic sweatshirts into a standout custom team piece that proudly displays your colors and team spirit. By combining Cricut Iron-on with a bit of sewing creativity, you’ve created a unique garment that’s perfect for game days or any day you want to show off your team pride.
