Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use 'Glitter Iron-On' in Your Cricut Machine

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the steps, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• Cricut Machine
• Glitter Iron-On
• Fabric item (e.g., t-shirt, tote bag)
• Weeding tool
• Cricut EasyPress or household iron
• Parchment paper or cotton cloth

Step 1: Design in Cricut Design Space

Open Cricut Design Space and start a new project. Choose or upload your desired design. When using glitter iron-on, remember to mirror your image so that it appears correctly when transferred. Resize your design to fit your project accurately.

Step 2: Cutting the Glitter Iron-On

Place the glitter iron-on sheet shiny-side down on the cutting mat. Insert the mat into your Cricut machine. Select 'Iron-On' in the material settings, and proceed to cut. The machine will precisely cut your design, ensuring each glittery detail is perfect.

Step 3: Weeding the Design

Once the cutting is complete, carefully remove the excess material from around your design using a weeding tool. This step is crucial to ensure only your intended design is transferred onto the fabric.

Step 4: Preparing for Transfer

Preheat your Cricut EasyPress or household iron to the recommended temperature for your fabric. Position your design on your fabric item, shiny-side up. Cover it with parchment paper or a cotton cloth to protect it.

Step 5: Applying the Design

Press the EasyPress or iron down on the design for the recommended time, applying firm pressure. Make sure to cover the entire design evenly. Allow it to cool down slightly before peeling off the plastic carrier sheet.

Step 6: Final Touches

Once you peel off the carrier sheet, examine your design. If any part of the design is not adhering well, reapply the heat with the parchment paper or cloth. Your glitter iron-on creation is now ready to dazzle!
