Fa La La Sweatshirt

    1 Connect the Cricut Explore Air™ to the pc/laptop/Mac/iPad/iPhone and log on to your Design Space™ account. From the ‘Christmas’ category in the Make It Now Projects, search for and select the ‘Fa La La Ugly Sweater’ (either female or male version).

    2 Click ‘Customise’ to resize the project or ‘Make It Now’ to create it as designed. This project makes one embellishment measuring approximately 10” x 13.5”. 2. Resize the image as required by first highlighting the image and then dragging the corner point. The size appears in a black text box as the image is altered.

    Jumper steps 2

    3 Cut the images from the required coloured iron-on vinyls following the on-screen prompts and making sure you check the ‘mirror image’ box for every mat and select the appropriate resource setting on the Smart Dial. You can use the ‘iron-on glitter’ setting in the ‘custom’ list for the Cricut iron-on glitter vinyls. Use the vinyl applicator tool to apply the iron-on vinyls to the cutting mat to ensure good contact.

    4 Use the weeder tool to carefully remove the unwanted iron-on vinyl.

    5 Follow the packaging instructions to apply the design to the sweatshirt using an iron and press cloth. Cricut Iron-on vinyls can be layered, but it is not advisable to layer any on top of the glitter version (i.e. make the glitter iron-on vinyl the top layer).

    6 Glue pompoms to embellish the design.
