Episode #6 Cutting Fabric With Your Cricut ~ Ballet Recital Handmade Gift - Ballet T-Shirt

For the grand finale of ballet-themed handmade gifts, I made my very first t-shirt and I did it with my Cricut. I even got gutsy and layered the image! With the right settings and tools, it can be a very easy project.

I love this shirt and had so much fun making it that I went and purchased more fabric and more Tulip sparkle sheets!

Here's a list of what you will need:

Cricut Circle Shall We Dance cartridge
Heat n' Bond Ultra Hold
Plain White cotton t-shirt
Pink Cotton (I used Polyester)
Tulip Sparkle Sheets
Imaginisce I-Rock and gems
Iron and Ironing Board
Tim Holtz Tonic Scissors

For the tutorial, settings and complete details, be sure to watch my video:


It's so amazing that my cricut actually cut through these materials. And look at how cute this shirt is up close! Adding the Imaginisce bling to the shirt was the icing on the cake! The perfect finishing touch!




If any of you have any questions, feel free to comment and ask away!
CHeck back shortly for my final post in this ballerina series.
