DIRECTIONS:
- Download FESTIVE TREES SVG design and then upload into your cutter software.
- Assign a color to each layer accordingly. In this case, EasyWeed gold for the tree silhouettes and EasyPatterns Plus Peppermint, Candy Cane Crackle, and White Snowflake for the various tree details.
- Place EasyWeed gold with the carrier side facing down on the cutting mat and load into cutter. Mirror design and cut, then remove from mat when finished. Repeat for each EasyPatterns Plus.
- Use scissors to cut the designs from each HTV material to save any unused vinyl. Use the EasyWeeder to remove excess material from each design. Don't forget the cavities!
- Turn on EasyPress and set temperature to 335 degrees Fahrenheit. Pre-press towel for a few seconds to remove any wrinkles or moisture.
- Position the EasyWeed gold first on the towel. Cover with parchment paper and tack down with a 5 second press, then remove the carrier sheet hot.
- Layer the EasyPatterns Plus on top of the tree silhouettes, alternating between different EasyPatterns styles if desired. Cover with parchment paper and press for a full 15 seconds, then remove the carrier hot.
JOANN HACKS:
- All time, temperature, and pressure settings for heat applying Siser HTV can be found at siserna.com. Add an additional 30°F to our recommended settings anytime you are using a Cricut EasyPress.
- With multi-color designs and EasyWeed, you can use 5-second presses also known as Tacks for each additional color.
- Even pressure is key when applying HTV. If the HTV peels up with the carrier, replace carrier and press again for a few seconds. Even though EasyWeed is a hot peel, allowing the adhesive to cool a little before peeling the carrier sheet off may help.
