Directions for Iron-on Designs Throw Pillows

1. Ensure pillow covers are free of wrinkles by pressing the entire surface with the EasyPress or an iron. Determine the spot where you would like your iron-on design and make sure the Cricut EasyPress Mat is positioned underneath that area. Preheat the surface area where you will be applying the design.

2. *Important note: reference the Cricut EasyPress recommended settings guide to determine the EasyPress temperature and press time based on whether or not you are using the EasyPress Mat, the type of iron on material you are using and what material you are ironing on to. Firmly press the EasyPress or iron over the design for the the allotted time and shift to make sure you have pressed the entire design.

3. Allow to cool completely and then gently peel back the liner.

Simple and beautiful throw pillows in minutes!

Directions for Iron-on Design Gardener’s Apron

1. Ensure canvas apron is free of wrinkles by pressing the entire apron with the EasyPress or an iron. Determine the spot where you would like your iron-on design and make sure that the Cricut EasyPress Mat is positioned underneath that area. Again, be sure to reference the Cricut EasyPress recommended settings guide. Preheat the surface area where you will be applying the design.

2. Firmly press the EasyPress or iron over the design for the the allotted time and shift to make sure you have pressed the entire design. Since this is a smaller iron on design and the EasyPress is larger than the liner, I used a piece of parchment paper when pressing to avoid any scorch marks on the canvas and added a few seconds to the press time.

3. Allow to cool completely and then gently peel back the liner.

This gardener’s apron would make a great Mother’s Day, housewarming or hostess gift, don’t you think?

Can You Wash Cricut Iron On Designs?

Absolutely! Just like all Cricut Iron On, your projects made with the Cricut Iron On Designs are washable! You will just want to wait 24 hours after application before washing and turn your design inside out before washing and drying. And of course, no bleach. If you need to iron your project, only iron the back.

So which Cricut Iron On Designs are your favorite? I can’t wait to play with more them and to see what else other designs are coming out. I’d love to see some tile inspired patterns, what do you think?
