Ingredients
  

  • Wine Bottle Bag
  • Gnome SVG
  • Cricut Maker
  • Everyday Iron On Vinyl Nautical Collection
  • Cricut Standard Grip Mat
  • Weeding Tool
  • Scissors
  • EasyPress 2
  • EasyPress Mat or Towel

Instructions
 

Preparing the Image:

  • Open Cricut Design Space and 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 Gnome SVG file onto the canvas.

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.
  • Place the Iron-On vinyl in the color of your choosing directly onto the standard grip mat with the SHINY SIDE DOWN.
  • Choose Everyday Iron-On Vinyl from the list of options in the drop down menu and following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the vinyl.
  • Remove vinyl from matte when done and repeat for the other Iron-On Vinyl colors.

Preparing the Cut Image:

  • Cut around the images and using a weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl leaving only the gnome pieces.

Applying the Image with the Cricut EasyPress 2:

  • Position the mat or a towel on a flat surface. Set the temperature and time on the EasyPress 2 machine.
  • Determine where you will be placing the gnome and preheat the fabric in that spot for 5 seconds.
  • Place the pieces on to the fabric with the shiny side up starting with the gnome body and nose.
  • Press the image on to the fabric for 30 seconds with light pressure.
  • Turn the fabric upside down and apply heat for another 15 seconds.
  • Peel the plastic part of the vinyl off carefully once it cools and discard.
  • Place the other gnome pieces on to the fabric (hat and feet), covering the other parts of the gnome with the plastic covering.
  • Press the image again for another 30 seconds.
  • Turn the fabric upside down and apply heat for another 15 seconds.
  • Peel the plastic part of the vinyl off carefully once it cools and discard.
