Make sure your t shirts are prewashed! If they’re brand new throw them in the laundry.

Start by cutting your vinyl. Don’t forget to mirror for iron on! i’ve made this checklist so you never mess up your iron on ever again so if you need a little extra help, see here!

Weed your pieces and grab your prewashed t shirt!

 

Now you will start ironing on. Start with the white layer. Using your EasyPress makes this whole process so simple! I have found putting a little weight on the EasyPress helps a lot too.

Peel the layer from your first layer and then place your second layer. Here is the important part: put the previous plastic layer on top of any uncovered vinyl. You do not want the iron touching any uncovered vinyl or it will melt it.

 

I always suggest putting a press cloth on top of the finished vinyl and finishing it off that way so you know it’s on really well.

I love how each one of these turned out! It was such a fun quick project and I can’t wait to give them to my girlfriends.
