I think that’s it … oh, you need a design! I have the giraffe milestone blanket design you can freely use over on my blog! I can’t give you the file for the Baby Yoda, as that is Disney’s property, but I CAN show you how to use a licensed Star Wars image over on Cricut Design Space for it! And if you’d like to make a way to indicate the numbers for the photos, I’m using Cricut veneer, glue, and a little acrylic paint to make frames! You’ll also want a weeding tool to prepare the vinyl, a pressing mat, your cover sheet, maybe some heat-resistant tape to keep things in place, and a yardstick to measure things. Other than vinyl and a blanket, you’ll want a way to cut your iron-on vinyl - I’m using my Cricut - and a way to press the iron-on vinyl - I’m using the Cricut EasyPress 2 in the BIG size. If you’re having any issues getting layers lined up just right, you can use the star alignment tip, which just means you can add stars to each layer in the same spot and use them as a way to align your layers each time … but the stars don’t have to end up on your finished project, and I’ll show you how that works!

You must always use a cover sheet of some kind when you iron on additional layers, such as a Teflon sheet or a sheet of parchment paper (that’s what I use).ģ.

There are a few important things to remember when layering vinyl.ġ. And you can totally layer SportFlex iron on, which we’ll be doing today, but if you do this you should ONLY use SportFlex in your layers and no other iron-on vinyl because SportFlex stretches and the others don’t. If you want to use those, they should be your top layer only. You can really layer almost any vinyl - the only things you can’t do is put other vinyl on top of glitter iron on, foil iron on, holographic iron on, patterned iron on, or printable iron on. And for the layered iron-on decorations, I’m using regular Cricut everyday iron on, which is your basic iron-on vinyl that works on pretty much everything for the giraffe, and Cricut SportFlex iron on vinyl which is great for stretch fabrics like this fleece polyester blanket - I used this for the Baby Yoda. A lot of people tell me they’re confused about layering iron on vinyl, but it’s really pretty easy, and I’ll show you how.įor this tutorial, I’m using several different kinds of vinyl - for the numbers and letters, we’re using a soft flocked vinyl that feels a little like fabric. Like an adorable Baby Yoda, or a super cute giraffe, both of which were made with layered iron on vinyl.
