Create Custom Onesies with the Cricut EasyPress

I’ve said before that I avoided Cricut projects involving iron-on because I HATED using an iron – until the EasyPress came to my rescue! Now I put iron-on on everything. Even wood! These new iron-on designs are incredibly easy to use – if you are new to crafting or just short on time pick up some to keep in your stash and have gifts ready in minutes.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• assorted onesies
• Cricut Iron-On Designs (see the specific designs I used at the end of the post)
• Cricut EasyPress
• Cricut EasyPress Mat (how did I live without this?)
• scissors

HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM ONESIES

1. Turn on and set EasyPress (see recommended settings for temperature and time).

2. Remove iron-on designs from packaging and cut apart. I cut them with the backing just in case I didn’t use them all, so I could save them for another time.

3. Lay onesie on your top of your EasyPress Mat* and “pre-heat” the onesie. It makes the surface nice and smooth and ready for your iron-on design!

4. Apply iron-on design to front of onesie.

5. Use EasyPress to apply heat to iron-on design. The instructions on the packaging were for 50 seconds at 350. If you are using the EasyPress Mat I’d reduce the time to 35-40 seconds. You can always add a little more time if you need it, but 40 seconds was plenty for me!

The instructions also suggest flipping the item over and ironing on the back for a few seconds – I did that too!

6. Wait a minute or two for the iron-on to cool and then remove the liner. If you are used to warm peel (removing the liner right away) like me…then cold peel will freak you out a little bit. 😉 It will be a little stiffer to remove than you are used to but trust me – it is better to wait for these to cool!

*The Mat has been a game changer for me. I was using towels before – but the iron-on goes on SO much more smoothly and evenly now!

Now find a cute baby and get them in some cute custom onesies! Click on the photo for the link to the narwhal and twinkle twinkle little star – the bow and “hello I’m new here” are sneak peeks of the New to the Crew collection coming soon!
