Cricut Design Space File – Floral Wreath Shirt

Start by opening the project I created in Cricut Design Space.

Cricut Design Space File: Floral Wreath Shirt

You can either measure your shirt to determine the design size or use one of the shirt templates included in Design Space.

To use a template, click on Template, then choose the shirt that best matches your garment.

From the drop-down menu at the top, choose whether it is a men’s or women’s shirt and the size. Mine is a women’s large.

Once you have your template, Select All and resize the design to fit your shirt.

Customize

All of the green leaves will be cut from the lemongrass foil iron-on. I attached them all together so that I could easily place them on my t-shirt.

If you want to add each leaf individually to your design, select the green leaf shapes and click Detach. 

Each of the pink flowers will be cut out of one of the pink floral Patterned Iron-on designs, and the words will be cut out of the watercolor pink Patterned Iron-on.

Cut Out Design with Cricut

Click the green Make It button. When you see the mat preview, choose Mirror Image for each mat. Then, click Continue.

Set the Smart Set Dial to custom and choose Patterned Iron-on or Foil Iron-on from the drop-down menu, depending on which mat you are cutting.

Place the Patterned Iron-on onto the mat pattern side down or the foil iron-on shiny side down. Load your mat into the machine and click Go.

Once all the pieces are cut out, weed the excess iron-on from each design. Cut around each flower so that you can place it on the shirt.

Iron On Design

For projects like this, where you use more than one iron-on type, add the iron-on that needs the highest temperature setting first.

Use the Cricut Heat Guide to determine what will work best for your project.

For this project, the patterned iron-on needs a temperature of 340°, and the foil iron-on is 295° (on a cotton shirt). So, start by ironing on your patterned iron-on first.

Helpful Tip: There are separate instructions for using the EasyPress mat instead of a towel, so be sure to follow the instructions for your method.

Preheat the area of the material to which you will apply your cut image for 5-10 seconds.

Using the foil iron-on wreath pieces as a guide, line up where your flowers all need to go. Patterned iron-on is not meant to be layered, so be sure none of your pieces overlap as you iron on the design.

Note: You can cut out each leaf shape to create your wreath. However, I found that having the leaves in a circle helped me place everything correctly.

Patterned Iron On

For the patterned iron-on, set your EasyPress heat to 340° F and use firm pressure for 50 seconds on the front of the garment and then 15 seconds on the back.

Work in sections for larger designs like this one until you have completed this process for all the pieces.

Wait for the design to cool and cold peel your design. Cold peel means waiting until your design has cooled completely before removing the liner from your design.

Note: If you are using an iron, preheat the area of the material where you will apply your cut image for 5-10 seconds. Use the cotton setting for 50 seconds on the front of the garment, then 15 seconds on the back, using firm pressure. Cold peel the design.

Foil Iron-On

Then, iron on your foil iron-on.

Set your EasyPress to 295° for 30 seconds on the front of the shirt and then 15 seconds on the back, using firm pressure. Cold peel your design.

Now you have a beautiful T-shirt to wear. I love the patterned iron-on so much! It adds something extra to the design without distracting the overall design.
