Squad Ghouls- Halloween T-Shirt

by 20 Comments

Last weekend we introduced our kids to Casper for the first time. Somewhere during the middle of the movie someone mentioned that Kat and Casper’s relationship was their squad goals and that is where the shirt Squad Ghouls was born. A Halloween take on everybody’s favorite Taylor Swift hashtag, this shirt makes people stop my daughter every where she goes to ask her where she got it.

 

You will need:

  • a white shirt
  • gold glitter heat transfer
  • black heat transfer
  • an iron
  • a Cricut

To make this shirt, head over to the Explore site and select the great big blue, Create a New Project button. Hit the insert images button and then type Halloween in the search box. The animal elements all came from the same image, Halloween Window Cling #M14BC38 and the Witch Hat was Witch Hat #M3BCE4. Insert both of those images into design space and move them around until you have them wear you like them.

If you don’t want everything on your mat to be one color, make your images different colors and your Cricut will know that you plan on cutting them out of different colors and place them on different mats when you hit cut. I changed the color on one of the words and the ribbon on the witch hat so my machine would know I was going to cut them in a different color from the rest of the design. When you have you design looking the way you want it. Hit Cut.

Make sure to check the mirror image box since we are cutting out heat transfer. If you don’t mirror the image when you go to iron on your images, the words will be backwards. Heat Transfer goes onto your mat with the shiny side down. Set your machine to iron-on and then hit the go button. After your machine cuts, weed off the excess heat transfer.

Set your iron to the cotton setting on your iron (or about 305 degrees) Preheat the area of the shirt you want to place your vinyl for about 3 seconds then place the heat transfer on the blanket with the right side facing up. Using medium pressure, iron the entire image for about 30 seconds, directly onto the carrier sheet, without any steam. After you finish, I like to flip my  shirt inside out and iron for another 10 seconds from the back. Peel the carrier sheet off. If any parts of the image pull up when removing the carrier sheet, stop peeling and iron for a few more seconds in that spot.

    What a cute shirt for a little girl! I'm struggling with heat transfer material right now, but when I'm brave enough to give it another try this will be on my list.
