How to Make a Custom Hat with Cricut

Step 1

Open Cricut Design Space on your computer, tablet, or phone. Create a design you like or choose from one of the many designs in Design Space.

Step 2

Gather materials needed, and click the green 'Make it' button in Design Space.

Step 3

Follow the prompts asking what size mat you have and what materials you are using, then turn 'mirror on.' (When cutting iron-on you always want to mirror the design.)

Step 4

Put iron-on onto a StandardGrip mat, shiny side down. Follow the prompts in design space to load the mat and cut the iron on.

Step 5

Weed iron-on design, removing anything around the edges or inside that you don't want to be transferred to the hat.

Step 6

Put the hat snugly on the form.

Step 7

Place an iron-on design onto the hat, then use purple heat-resistant tape to secure the design on your hat.

Step 8
