Since I received my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine and Cricut Easy Press a few months ago it’s definitely seen some use! I knew I would enjoy crafting and making things with the new machines—but I didn’t realize just HOW much!
Just in the past couple of months, I’ve made cards, mugs, drink coasters, a holiday-themed pillow, and now personalized Christmas shirts for the kids.
Each year, I normally order the kids a Christmas shirt, but this year with the Cricut Explore Air 2 and Cricut EasyPress it was just as easy to make one!
What I love about the t-shirt design is that I was able to easily personalize them for each kid. We used the Patterned Iron -On™ Sampler, Nordic Christmas.
The Cricut Nordic Christmas Heat Vinyl sampler comes in a pack of three-holiday designs, and each kid got to pick the pattern they wanted.
I kept it simple with a deer design and then personalized each shirt with their name using the Ariel font in design space.
