Cut the paper to 12x12 (or 6x12 for the baby bug)
Place it on the mat dull side DOWN, cut the design u would like. REMEMBER if u are doing letters & words to write them backwards & flip them. If u do not have CDS or an E, u can put the paper on shiny side down & it will have the same effect.
This is the paper after I've made my cut.
Place the paper shiny side down on the shirt or whatever u are going to paint, then rub over it with a hot iron (no water) make sure the edges are down really well. If they're not the paint will run under them. Place the paper over everything u don't want to paint: for example I added paper over the eyes & the mouth, so they stayed white. Before u start painting u will want to put some paper inside of the shirt, so the paint doesn't leak through. Make sure u don't put the paint on too thick, but u also want to make sure that u have no "white" (or whatever color the shirt is) left either.
So awesome...I love that cricut cut....which cart is it from or is it a file? Would love to make a shirt like this for me:0)
