Move any numbers around that you may need to create a certain year.

Measure the arm length of the hoodie you will be applying the vinyl so that you can resize the design to fit the hoodie.

Follow the Prompts in Cricut Design Space to cut the design, making sure to mirror the design since we are using iron-on.

Applying the Senior Design to a Hoodie

Using the Cricut Heat Guide, figure out the temperature and time needed to apply the iron-on design.

I am starting with the smaller design that will go on the chest of the hoodie.

Use a lint roller to remove any stray fuzzies or hairs from the area you will be applying the iron-on.

Preheat the area for 5 seconds with the EasyPress, then lay the iron-on design into place.

Apply heat for the specified time.

Let the iron-on only slightly cool before you peel back the backing sheet. You still want it warm but cool enough to touch.

If the backing sheet doesn’t peel easily, lay back into place and repeat the heat step.

For the sleeves, fold the top of the sleeve flat. Repeat the steps above with cleaning with a lint roller, preheating and applying the heat.
