Your Cricut Explore Children's Elephant Pocket T-shirt

Creating your own bespoke T-shirts by adding felt embellishments is a doddle when using the Cricut Explore Air™ / Air 2™ / Maker™ and the online software, Design Space™. This project customises one of the Cricut images to create a simple and oh-so-cute children's elephant pocket t-shirt, however there's no reason this design couldn't be replicated on an adults top..

The felt is stabilised with Heat N Bond before cutting, so that there's no sewing required to secure it to the T-shirt, what could be simpler!

NOTE: The term 'Cricut Explore' refers to all the Explore machines: Explore™, Explore Air™, Explore Air 2™ and Explore One™.
