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 or 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!

Step-1

Using a laptop/Mac/iPad/iPhone/Android device, log on to your Design Space™ account and make sure you are connected to your Cricut Explore™ / Maker™ machine. Open a new project. In 'images', search for and select the elephant image #M507A534.

Step-2

Delete the black and white layers.

Step-3

Resize the image as desired to fit the pocket of the T Shirt.

Step-4

Insert a circle from 'shapes' and resize it to match the pink circles of the elephant's cheeks. Duplicate the image.

Step-5

Use colour sync to change the circles the pink colour.

Step-6

Delete the pink elephant layer.

Step-7

Un-group the image. Use 'hide contour' to remove the eyes and cheek holes from the light and dark grey layers. Re-group the layers once this step is complete in case you need to resize the project.

Step-8

Apply Heat n Bond Ultra to the back of the felt using an iron.

Step-9

Cut the elephant layers from the bonded felt using the fine point blade; selecting the 'acrylic felt, bonded' material setting. Place the felt bonded side down on to the cutting mat using the brayer to ensure good contact.

Step-10

Use the remover tool to carefully lift each cut piece from the cutting mat.

Step-11

Sew French knots using black embroidery thread to create the elephant's eyes on the top layer.

Step-12

Use the Easy Press™ or an iron and press cloth to heat seal the layers on to the T shirt.
