Doctor Halloween Costume with Cricut!
I had such a fun opportunity to make Doctor Halloween costumes for a couple of my friends little girls. The Cricut Maker made it a cinch--and they turned out super cute!
Add the perfect finishing touches to a Halloween costume using iron-on vinyl and a Cricut cutting machine.
Supplies Needed:
- Cricut cutting machine
- Cricut Iron-on Vinyl
- Scrubs, lab coats, first aid bag
- Cricut EasyPress 2
- EasyPress Mat
Step 1: Lab Coat
Pick a design you like and upload it into Cricut Design Space, or design the text yourself. Cut the iron-on vinyl in mirror image.
Then weed the excess iron-on vinyl away. If it's multiple layers, line it up for reference.
Then remove all but the bottom layer and press it with the hot EasyPress 2.
If you are doing more than 1 layer, just heat it for half the time then let it cool down and remove the carrier sheet. Repeat for the second layer with the full amount.
Repeat for the text on the pocket.
Make a perfect mini lab coat for a Halloween costume using Cricut iron-on vinyl in just a few minutes!
Here's the lab coat I did for Dr. Wing. My friend just upcycled a boys white shirt from the thrift store to make it fit her daughter.
Genius!
Added name and practice with black glitter iron-on.
Step 2: Scrubs
Repeat the process for the scrub top...this time in red glitter iron-on!
Step 3: First Aid Bag
Find an old black handbag for the perfect first aid kit for a doctor costume. Cut out this fun design available on Cricut Design Space and cut it in the mirror image.
Then weed the excess vinyl. Place the EasyPress mat on the edge of a table and slide the bag over the mat.
Then cover with a cover sheet and press. It may melt the vinyl bag a little, so turn the heat down a bit.
Let the bag cool down completely, then peel off the carrier sheet.
Now fill the bag with a stethoscope, syringe and other fun doctor tools.
Add a cute scrub cap and face mask for the perfect--and most darling Halloween costume ever!
That's it! I love the ease of customizing costumes with the Cricut!
