How to Make a Thanksgiving Shirt with Your Cricut
- Download and unzip the file. Each design includes SVG, PNG, EPS and DXF formats (print-only designs include a high-resolution PNG).
- Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space or open the DXF in Silhouette Studio. Resize the design to about 10 to 11 inches wide for an adult shirt.
- Mirror the design before cutting heat transfer vinyl, then weed away the excess vinyl.
- Press with a heat press or EasyPress at the temperature recommended for your vinyl, then peel according to the vinyl type.
For full-color designs, print the PNG on DTF or sublimation transfer paper instead of cutting vinyl.
