Cricut Maker 5 Minute Shirt DIY

"Take heed, cause I'm a lyrical poet." This rad shirt can be made in just 5 minutes using the Cricut Maker. I love my Cricut Maker and use it nearly daily. I love making iron-on shirts because it's so quick!

Do you have a Cricut Maker?

I recommend getting a bundle, then you have lots of supplies to get started crafting and deciding what you like the best.

Having a Cricut Maker can also be a great way to start a business from home. Check out this post on 5 ways to Make Money with the Cricut and this one on 100 Things to Make with the Cricut to Sell.

I work with Cricut on their blogger team and receive product, but all opinions are mine.

Supplies Needed for Lyrical Poet Shirt:

T-shirt
Cricut Maker
Gold Iron-On Vinyl
Cricut EasyPress 2
Cricut EasyPress Mat

Step 1:

Design the text in Cricut Design Space. Then place the iron-on vinyl on the cutting mat with the shiny surface face down.

Step 2:

Mirror the image and cut the text. Then remove the iron-on from the mat and weed the excess iron-on from the text.

Step 3:

Warm up the shirt with the EasyPress 2. (Here's the EasyPress recommended settings) Then place the iron-on vinyl on the shirt, then press the EasyPress and click the countdown button.

Step 4:

Let the shirt cool down for a minute or so. Then peel the plastic carrier sheet off the top by rolling it back on top of itself.

And that's it! The most amazing shirt that has a bit of Vanilla Ice flair. Shirts can be made in just a matter of minutes and they make the most wonderful gifts, family crafts or just to spruce up a plain tee.

The Maker opens up to reveal it's inner workings. It has a storage tray inside--fill with treats for snacking, or the supplies needed to keep the machine working. I fit the sewing kit inside the Maker, and stuff my tools in the pocket at the top.

The Cricut Maker has a wide range of uses--and chances are good that you'll want to try it all. Start by getting the Maker and just cut paper for a terrific start. Then as you make some things and sell them, you can add to your Cricut collection.
