Bring on the spooky with this DIY spider web art using an embroidery hoop and a spider web design in iron-on vinyl with this free SVG cutting file.
Easy Spider Web Hoop Art
Ok so it’s not exactly what you would call spooky but we do love how this spider web art turned out! Using an embroidery hoop we had lying around from our cross-stitching days, the spider web design was cut out in an iron-on vinyl using our Cricut Maker and then heat applied with an EasyPress 2.
For more spider web art, head over to this post and grab the free printable watercolor spider web. We used the same watercolored spider web to make these resin pendants for Halloween. And if you like the way it looks on a throw pillow or phone case, check out our Society6 shop.

- Spiderweb SVG
- Embroidery Hoop, 10” diameter

- Cricut Maker
- Everyday Iron On Vinyl, Black

How to Make Iron-On Spider Web Art:
Pre-work:
With a pencil, trace the outside of the embroidery hoop on the fabric.
Leave about 2” around the pencil line and cut out a circle shape.
Preparing the Image:
Open Cricut Design Space and then click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas.
Click on the Upload button from the toolbar to insert the Spiderweb SVG file onto the canvas.
Maintain the size at 10.125” across or adjust by highlighting the image and clicking on the size box in the top toolbar.
Cutting the Iron-On Vinyl:
Select “Make It” in the upper right corner to proceed with cutting.
Click the “Mirror” toggle button to on as this is necessary for ALL iron-on vinyl cuts.
Choose Everyday Iron-On Vinyl from the list of options in the drop down menu.
Place the Iron-On vinyl directly onto the standard grip mat with the SHINY SIDE DOWN.
Following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the Iron-On vinyl.
Preparing the Cut Image:
Remove the Everyday Iron-On Vinyl from the mat.
Using a pair of scissors, cut around the vinyl image and put the left over vinyl aside for another project.
Using a weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl leaving only the spider web image.
Applying the Image with the Cricut EasyPress 2:
To start, set the temperature and time on the machine following the recommended provided by the EasyPress Interactive Quick Reference Guide. In our case, we set the EasyPress 2 to 315F for 100% cotton fabric.
Preheat the fabric (the cut circle shape) for 5 seconds to get rid of any wrinkles.
Place the cut image on the fabric with the shiny side up, centering it in the middle.
Press the image on to the fabric for 30 seconds with light pressure. If the entire image doesn’t fit under the EasyPress, then move the EasyPress over and heat press the image a second time.
Turn the fabric upside down and apply heat for another 15 seconds with light pressure.
Peel the plastic part of the vinyl off carefully once it cools down and discard the plastic portion.
Tip: Make sure you do not place an iron or the EasyPress directly over the vinyl without the protective plastic cover.
Assembling the Hoop Art
Insert the fabric into the embroidery hoop and after centering, tighten the screw at the top of the hoop.
Trim away the excess fabric and tuck the fabric behind the embroidery hoop. Hang to enjoy this Halloween!
