Custom Team Sweatshirt with Cricut Iron-on

Are you ready to show off your team spirit in a fun and creative way? Making your own custom team sweatshirt with Cricut Iron-on is a fantastic project that lets you combine team colors into a one-of-a-kind garment. Whether you’re cheering for the Green Bay Packers or another favorite team, this guide will walk you through the steps to create a unique sweatshirt that perfectly represents your team pride. With just a few materials and some clever techniques, you’ll have a standout piece that’s both stylish and full of personality.  

Materials:

• Cricut Iron-on in team colors
• Cricut Heat Press Machine

Directions:

Buy two sweatshirts that are identical in style but each in a different color representing your team's colors. For example, if you're supporting the Green Bay Packers, you might choose one sweatshirt in green and another in yellow. Next, carefully cut each sweatshirt in half as illustrated. This technique will allow you to create a unique, custom piece that combines both colors, making it a distinctive and personalized garment to showcase your team spirit.

Select one sweatshirt with the right side in one color, and the other sweatshirt with the left side facing in the complementary color. Align the cut edges of each sweatshirt with their wrong sides facing each other, and pin them securely in place. Next, use your sewing machine to stitch the two halves together along the pinned edges. This method will seamlessly join the two different colors, creating a custom hybrid shirt that showcases both hues in a unique and visually appealing way.

Upload your team’s SVG file to Cricut Design Space. Once uploaded, follow the on-screen instructions in Design Space to cut the design from Cricut Iron-on material. After cutting, carefully weed out the excess iron-on material using your preferred weeding tools to reveal the final design.

Finally, consult Cricut’s Heat Guide for detailed instructions on applying the iron-on using your Cricut heat press. 

The Cricut Heat Guide is an online tool designed to assist crafters in applying heat transfer materials accurately and effectively. It provides detailed instructions on how to use Cricut heat presses and iron-on products. By entering specifics such as the type of material you’re using (e.g., Infusible Ink or Iron-on), the base material you’re applying it to (e.g., a T-shirt or a tote bag), and the type of heat press or iron you’re using, the Heat Guide delivers tailored recommendations.

These recommendations include precise temperature settings, recommended pressing times, and pressure adjustments to ensure optimal adhesion and durability of your design. The guide also offers tips for preheating your base material and post-pressing care to help achieve professional-quality results. It’s a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced crafters, ensuring that each project turns out just as envisioned.

And there you have it! With just a few simple steps, you've turned two basic sweatshirts into a standout custom team piece that proudly displays your colors and team spirit. By combining Cricut Iron-on with a bit of sewing creativity, you’ve created a unique garment that’s perfect for game days or any day you want to show off your team pride.
