Instructions for Iron-On Spider Web Hoop Art with Cricut
Pre-work:
- With a pencil, trace the outside of the embroidery hoop on the fabric.
- Leave about 2” around the pencil line and cut out a circle shape.
Preparing the Image:
- Open Cricut Design Space.
- Click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas.
- Click on the Upload button from the toolbar to insert the Spider Web SVG file onto the canvas.
- Maintain the size at 10.125” across or adjust by highlighting the image and clicking on the size box in the top toolbar.
Cutting the Iron-On Vinyl:
- Select “Make It” in the upper right corner to proceed with cutting.
- Click the “Mirror” toggle button to on. This is necessary for ALL iron-on vinyl cuts.
- Cut the Everyday Iron-On Vinyl width to fit on the standard grip mat. Press continue.
- Choose Everyday Iron-On Vinyl from the list of options in the drop-down menu.
- Place the Iron-On vinyl directly onto the standard grip mat with the SHINY SIDE DOWN.
- Following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the vinyl.
Preparing the Cut Image:
- Remove the Everyday Iron-On Vinyl from the mat.
- Cut around the image and put aside the leftover vinyl for another project.
- Using a weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl leaving only the spider web image.
Applying the Image with the Cricut EasyPress 2:
- Position the mat or a towel on a flat surface.
- Set the temperature and time on the machine following the chart for the type of vinyl and material used, or use this EasyPress Interactive Quick Reference Guide (https://home.cricut.com/easypress-heat-settings-guide).
- For a 100% Cotton tea towel and Everyday Iron-On Vinyl, set the EasyPress 2 to 315F.
- Preheat the fabric (the cut circle shape) for 5 seconds. This will prep the fabric for the vinyl, removing all excess moisture as well as help to remove any creases and wrinkles from the fabric.
- Place the cut image on the fabric with the shiny side up.
- Press the image onto the fabric for 30 seconds with light pressure. If the entire image doesn’t fit under the EasyPress, move the EasyPress over and heat press the image a second time.
- Turn the fabric upside down and apply heat for another 15 seconds.
- Peel the plastic part of the vinyl off carefully once it cools and discard.
- Ensure you do not place an iron or the EasyPress directly over the vinyl without the protective plastic cover.
Assembling the Hoop Art
- Insert the fabric into the embroidery hoop. After centering so that all vinyl edges are sandwiched inside the hoop, tighten the screw.
- Trim away the excess fabric and hang it to enjoy!
See how much fun this activity is? You’ll be able to use this as a fun and unique Halloween home decor easily!
