DIY Hocus Pocus Sweatshirt
We’ve already watched Hocus Pocus twice this month, and it’s only the 7th! Anyone else get really excited about traditions like family movie night?
We were lucky enough last weekend to go see Hocus Pocus at the movie theater last weekend. It was such a fun way to bump the tradition up a notch this year!
When I saw that Cricut had Hocus Pocus images in Cricut Design Space, I knew that I had to make a sweatshirt using one of them!!
So I made a Black Flame Candle sweatshirt. You guys…you have to make one for yourself!!
Supplies:
- Blank Sweatshirt (I got mine at Walmart)
- Everyday Iron-on Vinyl
- Cricut Maker
- Easy Press
- Black Flame Candle image in Design Space
There are a few different Hocus Pocus images in Design Space that I was in love with, but the candle one definitely won because it’s like a perfect size and graphic for the chest pocket area of the sweatshirt.
Mine is sized at 6 inches tall and just over 2 inches wide. Size it to it’s correct size in design space.
Hit cut and then make sure to mirror your image. Let the machine cut your iron-on vinyl!
Once cut, weed the excess vinyl from the plastic backing.
Now figure out your placement of the vinyl. I measured on myself from the armpit seam and determined I wanted the image to be about 6 1/2 inches in from the seam. Place your image with the vinyl against the fabric, and the plastic on top.
Use the easy press heat guide to determine the temperature and time to press your vinyl onto your sweatshirt.
My sweatshirt is a poly/modal fabric so I did 315 degrees for 30 seconds.
My heat guide also directed me to do a cool peel, so I wanted about a minute and a half after ironing it on before peeling back the plastic.
Guys, Im so obsessed with this sweatshirt. I might just wear it all year long, not just for Halloween.
