Baby Announcement Shirt

In our world of social media and posting pictures a lot of people have gotten creative with announcing life changing events. A custom baby announcement shirt has become a great way to announce that someone is pregnant. This tutorial will show you how to use your Cricut to make a baby announcement shirt using iron on vinyl.

You can find pre-made designs or even create your own.  I used this design from LoveSVG,com and used my Siser EasyWeed vinyl to create this two colored design.

Since my design was already a SVG file, I uploaded that to Cricut Design Space. There was no need to clean it up or remove the background, like you would have to do with images you find online. When SVG files are created correctly, it works just like the images you find in Cricut Design Space.

Once I had the design in Cricut Design Space, all I had to do was pick the colors I wanted from my Siser EasyWeed vinyl.

Custom announcement shirts also help the older sibling to feel important. Then they get to wear the shirt and be center stage. It is so important to make then feel included in this event.

All HTV/iron on vinyl projects

I prefer to use Siser brand vinyl for my iron on projects. I feel that is the best quality brand of iron on vinyl out there, and it weeds the easiest. For permanent vinyl I like StarCraft vinyl.

Madame Blanks is my recommended source for for my Canadian followers! Use coupon code SHAWN10 to save 10% off your order of StarCraft products!

I have also ordered from Expression Vinyl. Sorry, no code for that one, but if they are having a sale or are the only place that you can find that has the item you want, at least you know they are a trusted retailer. All of these stores carry Siser brand vinyl and I love that I can order large rolls or small sheets. This can give you a larger variety of choices and allow to to save money on larger orders.
