Cut

Let the Cricut do what it’s best at, cut!

Weed

Remove all the lettering from the vinyl. This is opposite of what you would usually do if you were to just use the letter to create an iron on. What should be left is the area around the words.

Apply Transfer Tape

Apply to screen

Tape

Add tape to any areas that the viynl doesn’t cover on the screen so no paint goes through.

Your screen is ready!

Parchment Paper

Cut a piece a little bit larger than your design and put the paper under the teeshirt during application.

Align

For a pocket tee, make sure that the word goes center of the pocket and doesn’t overflow onto the rest of the shirt. For a design that is the enitre front of the shirt make sure that you align the text at the center.

Apply

Use a spoon to put the screen printing ink on the screen. Make sure there is an even layer across the side or bottom. Using the squeege press down and slide over the letters. Do this multiple times until you get the thickness you want.

Screen printing is such a fun new technique to play with when creating t-shirts. If you’re not feeling super adventurous to start a new art, you can always create this same look with an iron on. We have so many great tutorials on how to use your Cricut to make shirts this way!
