In case you forget to toggle “Mirror” on, you will be reminded on this screen as well. It also reminds you to place your iron-on vinyl SHINY SIDE DOWN on your machine mat. Then, preheat your EasyPress or iron to the proper temperature. The guide calls for me to set my EasyPress to 330°F. If you are using an iron and cotton t-shirt, set it to the cotton setting. If your shirt is something other than cotton, you may need a different setting for your material. Find the vertical center of your shirt.The simplest way to do this is to fold your shirt in half by matching up your sleeves. Here's what the two layers of iron-on vinyl for the pumpkin will look like once cut and weeded. Notice that the shiny carrier sheet is visible and larger than the vinyl pieces.

By the way, you’re free to use my free svg files to create physical items to sell — I just ask that you share that you used one of my designs on your listing or with your product. This may be my favorite Halloween SVG — use it to create a paper toy that springs up into a pumpkin! An appropriate heat press – I used my Cricut EasyPress 2 with the Cricut Heat Resistant Pressing Mat, Heat Resistant Tape, and Butcher Paper Use your EasyPress or iron to put a little crease on the center fold. When you open your shirt you'll know exactly where the center is.Now you can just line up the center of the decal with the crease to get perfect placement! We will use a clean green Cricut StandardGrip Machine Mat to cut our layers of vinyl. So as mentioned, place the shiny side down on the mat, with the dull side up.

If you make one of these pumpkin projects, I’d love to see it! Please share your projects in my Cricut Crafters & Makers group where you’ll find hundreds of thousands of crafters like you, sharing their tips, projects, and inspiration … including their own autumn projects, where you will find some of the best ideas!! Design Space offers several templates to help you design your shirts. Designing with a template visibly helps you get the size and layout just right. Since we're adding our pumpkin SVG to a T-shirt, let's find a helpful template. A method to cut your material — I used the amazing Cricut Maker 3 but you can also use the Cricut Maker or the Cricut Explore Series with a Green StandardGrip Machine Mat 12″ x 12″ NOTE: Templates only work in Cricut Design Space on a desktop or laptop, not on an iPad, iPhone, or other mobile device. It's now time to weed our iron-on vinyl design layers. Weeding means to remove all of the vinyl that we don't want to transfer to our project.

If you’re not sure how to upload an SVG file to Cricut Design Space, watch this helpful video SVGs Made Simple training series I made. It will help you SO much!

If you ever have any questions about cutting vinyl, I have put together a great resource to help. It’s “The Ultimate Guide to Vinyl” and among other things it explains how to tell which side of the iron-on vinyl goes down on the mat. The best part of this project is how you can update it with the seasons … it’s a cute design you can keep out all year round! Also trim the liner at the bottom of the pumpkin layer so it is within 1/8" of the pumpkins at the bottom, being careful not to cut into the pumpkins themselves.

This Pumpkin Spice SVG is SO cute on so many things — I put it on a tumbler, but it works on shirts, mugs, and signs, too! This would make a cute Thanksgiving T-shirt, too!Place your t-shirt on a Cricut EasyPress Mat or folded towel to protect your work surface. Use a lint roller to clean any stray lint or fuzz from the area of your shirt where you plan to adhere the vinyl. I love this “Give Thanks” project, which is the perfect Thanksgiving cut file you could keep all all year round!
