How to Layer Cricut Iron On Vinyl!


Pin It

Today's T-shirt features layered iron-on vinyl!  It was incredibly easy to do.  Just follow these steps:

1) Iron shirt where vinyl will go for 15-20 seconds using highest, non-steam setting.

2) Place bottom layer of vinyl (yellow star layer in this case) onto shirt, with its plastic backing intact.  Using a iron cloth over it (I used a pillowcase), iron for 15-20 seconds.  Then, turn shirt over and iron the backside for 15-20 seconds.

3) Remove plastic backing from bottom layer.  Carefully, place top layer onto bottom layer, with its plastic backing intact.  Use parchment paper to cover bottom layer and prevent trouble.  Now iron with your iron cloth over both layers for 30 seconds on front.  Turn shirt over and iron with iron for 15-30 seconds.

4) Wait until vinyl cools and remove plastic backing and parchment paper.  Shirt is finished!

One last tip:  You cannot layer on top of the glitter vinyl -that must be the top layer!

The "Rock Star" was cut from the Cricut Rock Princess cartridge at 5".  That cartridge has some great word art that's perfect for iron on vinyl layering.  Here's a link to the handbook: Cricut Rock Princess Handbook

Here's what others have to say about Layout A Day:
“Before I did LOAD I would spend hours on a page. Now because LOAD is on during one of the busiest times at work (16 hour days!) I’m scrapping quicker, not afraid of committing, and best of all using up all my old stash! I’m loving the prompts scrapping stories I wouldn’t have thought of. I’m seeing a style and what I enjoy using on my pages.”-learncreatedo
“I am having SO MUCH FUN with LOAD!!! I’ve been pushed to go beyond what I thought my creative limits were and I can’t thank you enough for that. I look forward to your email every morning and I always want another prompt as soon as I finish my daily challenge. Thank you so much for this awesome challenge; this LOADster is absolutely loving it!!!”-Jennifer.

  8. I have a question. Does the actual VINYL transfer to the shirt or is it just the color? If it's the VINYL, doesn't that part of the t-shirt get stiff from the vinyl being on it?

  9. Okay I must be slow, but on #3, where are you putting the parchment paper? Underneath the shirt, or between the glitter layer and then yellow layer? I love the idea, I had heard you couldn't layer iron on vinyl!
