  3. Resize the design to fit the measurements of your chosen T-Shirt. This file was fit to an Adult Medium Long Sleeve T-Shirt.
  4. Place EasyWeed Glow-in-the-Dark HTV on the cutting mat carrier side facing down, load mat into desktop cutter, cut material, and remove from cutting mat.
  5. Use scissors to cut the design from the material to save any unused vinyl. Use your Siser Weeder tool to remove excess material and cavities from your design. You’ll be left with just the reversed design on the clear carrier sheets, which are slightly sticky.
  6. Set EasyPress to 335F. Pre-press the T-Shirt to remove moisture and wrinkles from where you will apply your design.
  7. Place first torso piece onto T-Shirt, cover with cover sheet, and heat apply by tacking down (pressing for 1-3 seconds), then peel carrier hot. Line up second piece and repeat process.
  8. Re-press full torso design making sure to cover all pieces for 10-15 seconds with medium pressure, avoiding seams.
  9. Repeat above steps for both arms avoiding seams if possible. Use a folded towel or EasyPress Mat if necessary to achieve even pressure.

Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:

  • Add 30F to Siser® recommended settings anytime a Cricut EasyPress is used.
  • Make sure to Mirror your design before cutting.
  • The torso of the skeleton was split into two pieces to be cut on a maximum 12"x 24" cutting mat. When resizing the design, make sure to adjust those pieces proportionately.
