Cricut Valentine’s Day Shirt Supplies
To make this Read Your Heart Out Retro shirt for Valentine’s Day, here are supplies you will need.
- Cricut Maker Cutting Machine, or any vinyl cutting machine.
- HTV Vinyl or Iron-on Vinyl, my favorite HTV brand to use Siser Easyweed, which comes in many colors.
- Blank t-shirt, to make a fun Valentine’s day shirt, try out these raglan t-shirts.
- Heat press, Easypress or household iron. For bulk t-shirts an Heat Press is a must, however if you are a hobby crafter, a household iron will work just fine.
- Don’t forget your Cricut Tools and accessories, like standard grip mat, fine point blade and Teflon paper.
- Read Your Heart Out SVG available as a free digital download at the end of this post.

Basic Steps for making Cricut Shirts
- Here are some basic step to create a vinyl shirt with Cricut Design Space. First, you will need to download my free SVG file using the pink download button below this post.
- All free SVG files come as a zip folder. You will need to right-click and extract all files and save to a new location. (This is called unzipping your folder).
- Next, upload the SVG file type. This is the best file type to using with Cricut machines. An SVG file type contains multiple layers that you can easily edit. Please beware that on some Windows PC computers might display a SVG file as an Internet HTML Document. You can still upload that file to Cricut Design Space.
- Once SVG file is upload to Cricut Design Space, you can resize and change the colors of each layer to suit your project and material. When you send it to the mat, make sure to mirror the design if you are using HTV or Iron-on vinyl. Cut on the appropriate settings for each material.
- Lastly, weed of any excess vinyl and press design to t-shirt using heat like a Heat Press or Iron. Use a sheet of parchment paper or Teflon sheet to protect garment.
