Cricut Football Shirt. Make a custom DIY t-shirt to celebrate your love for football. Wear it to cheer on your favorite team at the big game.
In my football Era! Football is one of the only sports I like watching on TV. I will admit I love the Super Bowl. And not just for the game – I love the commercials and all the delicious food.
We usually stay home, and I make a ton of yummy snacks for us to enjoy with the game.

Cricut Design Space File: Football Shirt
You can click on the link above to find all my favorite designs. Click on the eye in the layers panel next to any design you don’t want to use. Or you can delete the ones you don’t want.
I like to open a shirt template to see what my design will look like before making it. Click Templates, and then search shirt to pull up a t-shirt design that matches yours. Then at the top, you can choose the Type and the Size. You can also change the color to match your shirt.

Even if I use a template, I still measure my shirt to ensure the size I choose will work on my particular shirt. Then click Make It.
On the mat preview page, click Mirror Image when using heat transfer vinyl. Click Continue.
Choose the type of material from the drop-down menu. I am using Everyday Iron-on, so I chose that option.
Cut Out the Iron-On Using a Cricut Machine
Weed all the excess iron-on. Check inside all of the letters if you are cutting out a phrase.
Place the iron-on onto the Cricut mat, shiny side down. This will allow the machine to cut through only the iron-on and not the clear liner.
Load the mat into the machine and click Go.
Once the machine is done cutting, unload the mat. Flip the mat over, and peel the mat away from the iron-on. This method helps to keep the material from getting too curled up or wrinkled.
Use EasyPress to Press the Iron-on to the Shirt
If you are using a Cricut EasyPress, go to the Heat Guide and choose your material and blank from the drop down menus.
I chose Everyday Iron-on and 100% cotton.
This will pull up the instructions for how to use the EasyPress with your materials. For mine, I need to press at 315° for 30s.
Press the shirt with the EasyPress to remove wrinkles and any excess moisture. Heat the design for 30 seconds at 315°. Then, heat the back of the design for 15 seconds.
Allow the iron-on to cool, and peel away the liner from the shirt.
Your shirt is ready to celebrate the Super Bowl or any other football game!
My shirt says, “Bring on the sacks and snacks.” I am here for the snacks and commercials! I love the “I Just Hope Both Teams Have Fun” designs. So funny and cute!
