Author: Crystal

Equipment

  • Measuring tape
  • Hat
  • Cricut cutting machine
  • Cricut Iron-On
  • Cricut Standard Grip Mat
  • Weeding Tools
  • Cricut Hat Press and Hat Pressing Form
  • Cricut Strong Grip Heat Resistant Tape

Instructions

  • Open Cricut Designs Space and select your design. You can find my canvas for my Mother Daughter hats here. Measure your hat and size your design accordingly. Remember Cricut recommends a maxium size of 2.25 inches wide and 4.25 inches tall. Click "Make It" and don't forget to click the mirror slider to mirror your design.
  • Place your iron-on the mat with the shiny side facing down. Cut out your design using your Cricut cutting machine.
  • Weed your design, removing the iron-on from around your design, leaving just your design behind on the clear plastic liner.
  • Turn on your Cricut Hat Press and open the Cricut Hat Press app on your smart phone or tablet. Select the type of iron-on you are using and the the type of hat you are using send the directions to your heat press.
  • Once your heat press has finished preheating follow the directions in the Heat Press App. Pre-heat your hat for 5 seconds.
  • Attach your design to your hat using heat resistant tape. Press for another 60 seconds applying light and side to side movement. Return the Hat Press to the cradle and allow your hat to cool. Once cool, peel away the clear plastic liner leaving your design behind.
  • Always unplug your heat press and allow it to cool down completely before storing.
