A Long Time Ago Funny Star Wars Shirt with Cricut Maker DIY

It's no secret around here that I love Star Wars. I will watch any movie that comes with a Star Wars label. I love the spin-off's and the main epics. I'm not overly critical about story lines and plots...although there are things that don't add up. But I just like the Star Wars adventure once or twice a year. Plus I love celebrating all things Star Wars on May 4th! Here's a great shirt that shows you really are paying attention to the epic Star Wars crawler.

Make a funny geek inspired Star Wars shirt with Cricut and sportflex iron on vinyl.

Plus, this post is also featuring Lego Star Wars! When my husband and I met, we never really dated like normal people do. So when we got married, the tradition continued. We never went out to dinner and a movie. Instead, we'd head over to the toy store and buy Lego sets. Our first was the Millennium Falcon in 2000. We paid nearly $200 and spent the next couple evenings together putting pieces together. It's a favorite memory! So now I hoard all Star Wars Lego sets. This little Escape Pod is a favorite...comes with a Dewback too! Microfighter sets are some of my favorite Lego varieties.

Star wars geek inspired gift idea with Lego set and tee shirt made with Cricut Maker

You know how A New Hope starts out right? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Was it really a long time ago? All those blaster bolts and laser swords! So I did a combination of a Star Wars font coupled with my own hand lettering to write out the begin of the crawler and then a critical flaw that most of us see. A long time ago...but somehow in the future... If you'd like to make the same shirt, go ahead and save off the png...personal use only please.

Supplies Needed:

Yellow SportFlex Iron on Vinyl
Cricut Maker
Cricut Brightpad
Cricut Weeding Tools
Activewear or regular T-Shirt
EasyPress 2 (large)
EasyPress Mat

Upload the png into Cricut Design Space and then reverse the image for cutting. Place the colored side of the SportsFlex iron-on on the Cricut Mat and click the GO button. Remove the iron on and use the hook tool to remove the excess iron-on.

Weeding SportsFlex iron-on is the most magical experience! It's stretch is wonderful and peels off completely perfectly!

Place the t-shirt on the EasyPress mat. Press the shirt with the EasyPress 2 to warm it up.

Then place the iron-on vinyl on the shirt. I place my wording just an inch or two below the collar.

Then press the iron on with the EasyPress 2 for the recommended settings.

Let the shirt cool down completely and then peel back the plastic carrier sheet. Then it's ready to wear or wrap as a gift with a box of Star Wars Lego for a Star Wars nerd like me!
