I love using my digital cutter to make t-shirts. It’s one of my favorite type of project to make because they are so quick and they look so good when they’re done. Here is a cute Valentine shirt I made for my little girl.
I had leftover red and black heat transfer vinyl from another design, so I used that, but I think this design would also look super cute in red and pink. You can see how I apply multiple colors of heat press vinyl here.
Here is what you need:
– T-shirt
– HTV Vinyl
– Electronic cutter (cricut explore, silhouette or other cutter)
– Weeding tool
– Iron or heat press
– Electronic cutter (cricut explore, silhouette or other cutter)
– Cut File (see link below)

Here is what you do:
1. Upload your file into your cutting software. Adjust the size to fit your shirt. Be sure to mirror your design. Then load and cut your vinyl (be sure it’s HTV).
2. Use your weeding tool to pull up the excess vinyl.
3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to apply the HTV to the t-shirt
I’ve had two more kids request shirts for Valentine’s, so check back for more designs!
