I got
this Cricut Easy Press
for Christmas a couple years ago, and it has been such a great tool in my
crafter's arsenal for making my own projects. This press has over 6000 5-star
reviews on Amazon! It's clear I'm not the only one who loves this small but
mighty machine!
How to make easy Fall t-shirts with the Cricut Easy Press
It may only be early August, but I'm so excited to share my first Fall DIY
project of the season with you! Remember, bloggers like me share our ideas

I've made a couple Fall t-shirts already this year and can't wait to make
more! This is also a good time to be thinking about Christmas gifts! I'm sure
you have a few people who would appreciate a handmade t-shirt...or set of tea
towels...or napkins or...
You get the idea...there are SO MANY things you can make once you have your
own heat press!
Make your own tees for Fall
I love Fall. 🍂❤ It's my very very favorite season! I love pumpkins and
pulling out the cozy decor and pumpkin spice and changing leaves and cooler
weather and cozy blankets and sweaters! All the Fall things.
Down here in South Texas, we don't get cool weather in the Fall. The temps may
cool slightly but it is still very humid and hot. Although I've talked to
people who grew up here and they notice a change in the weather, I'm still
waiting to feel that change!!
So that's why I made Fall tees with short sleeves! But by all means you can
make whatever you'd like! The possibilities are really limitless!
Pumpkin Spice DIY Tee
Raise your hand if you're a pumpkin spice lover and can't wait for PSL season
at Starbucks! It always feels like Fall has truly arrived when I am sipping on
a pumpkin spice latte!
I created a PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING tee and
I'll be giving this one away so keep reading for more details on the
Giveaway!
Save money and make your own tees
You will need either a Silhouette or Cricut die cut machine to cut out your
designs. I own the
Silhouette Cameo
and love it! I purchased it as a bundle, which came with a bunch of tools,
vinyl, gift card, etc. Yes, it is an investment but I have found it has paid
for itself because of the money I've saved by making my own home decor, tees,
and more! Even just the money I save by making gifts! And everyone loves
receiving a customized gift that was thoughtfully handmade!
Supplies you'll need to make your own custom tees
- tee of choice ( these baseball t shirts would be so cute for Fall!)
- Silhouette or Cricut die cut machine to cut out design
- DIY design or purchase a design from Silhouette Design Store
- black HTV (heat transfer vinyl) I like this one from Siser EasyWeed
- weeding tool
- Cricut Easy Press
To make my pumpkin spice design, I created my words in
PicMonkey. I then saved the design to my computer and uploaded it into my Silhouette
Studio program. This is how it looked. When you save a jpeg design from
PicMonkey or Google to the Silhouette Studio software, you're not able to
manipulate the pieces. You can just resize it. So make sure you're happy with
the design's placement.
I cut the design onto black
heat transfer vinyl, which is the material you need for ironing onto fabric! This is a different
product than regular vinyl.
You also must print words in reverse!
Next I cut out a couple of pumpkins from a design that I purchased from the
Silhouette Design Store for .99$ and resized to fit the space on my tee.
Finally, I ironed everything into place with the Easy Press. It's so easy to
use, and you don't need to apply pressure like you do with a regular iron.
I actually made some shirts before I got my Easy Press, using just my regular
iron to add the design, and after the first wash, they started to peel off!
The Easy Press doesn't use steam, and you can set the temperature for your
specific materials you are using. There really is no learning curve, it's easy
peasy to use!
Isn't that fun? You can make a bunch of shirts all at once!

transfer vinyl, click on my
