Creating Memorable DIY Family Roadtrip T-Shirts with Cricut Iron-on
Embarking on a family road trip is a thrilling adventure that promises unforgettable moments, new discoveries, and quality time spent together.

And what better way to do it than by creating personalized, one-of-a-kind T-shirts that reflect your family's unique road trip experience?
Materials
Cricut Auto Press (or any heat press)
Tie Dye kit
My Co-Worker and amazingly talented friend Beth made this image for my trip to Niagara Falls
I went in and adjusted the size I wanted it to be on the shirts
Then I got to Tie Dying!
Don't do what I did, I would recommend putting a plastic tablecloth down to protect your table
It is a messy project but so much fun
This is how two of them turned out. We tie dyed 8 in total one for every person coming on the road trip.
Measure your shirt to make sure the image in Design Space is the size you want it to be
Now its time to "Make it"!
Make sure you mirror the image so that it reads correctly on your shirt
Cut your iron-on to the length of your Design and smooth it out
Once it is cut you are able to weed it
Place it on your shirt once it is all weeded
Since there were so many shirts to do I used an Auto Press and let me tell you, that is the way to go if you do a lot of shirts at one time. It is so quick and easy to set up and use! I put the heat at 330 degrees F for 25 seconds
Just pull the handle down and it will beep once it is time to lift the handle back up
I did all of the shirts twice just to be sure that the iron-on would not budge
Be sure to wait until the shirt has cooled before removing the plastic
Here is what one of them looked like all finished!
This was such a an awesome way to make this trip even more special
