Cricut Made Onesies

One of my very first projects with my Cricut Expression was a set of onesies for my friends Josh and Jenn who were expecting their first baby. Josh plays in a band hence the "rock theme". The Cricut makes it easy to design cute and inexpensive gifts :) The animal onesies were made with fabric and wonderunder. The rock onesies were made with freezer paper and fabric paint.


Fabric Instructions:
  • Set the Cricut to speed-med/pressure-high/blade-5
  • Put iron on cotton setting
  • Iron wonderunder to the backside of the fabric
  • Cut out your design
  • Remove wonderunder
  • Iron on design
Tips: You may need to adjust your Cricut settings depending on the type of fabric you use and the detail of the design you are cutting. I found that the less detail in the design, the less chance that the fabric will fray during cutting.

Fabric Paint Instructions:
  • Set Cricut to speed-med/pressure-med/blade-4
  • Put iron on cotton setting
  • Place freezer paper dull side down onto mat
  • Cut design
  • Iron freezer paper shiny side down onto onesie
  • Fill in with fabric paint
  • When dry, remove stencil
Tips: If you have issues flipping your image in SCAL or Design Studio I found that the shiny side of the freezer paper will stick to the mat if it's a new mat. I had to do that with the guitar pick and WNTP designs and they came out just fine.

Happy Cricuting :)
