What types of Cricut Iron-On Can I Use for Layered Designs? Then apply heat from the back for 15 seconds. If foil iron-on is your top layer, apply only 10 seconds of heat to set it, not 15.

Once you’re done with the front, flip your design over and apply 15 seconds of heat from the back. Remember to use your biggest clear line to protect your design! Since my second layer was also my final layer, instead of adding the remaining layers and doing 3 second of firm heat, I did 15 seconds of firm pressure to set everything in place. Just reuse that by putting it on top of everything each time you apply another layer and 3 seconds of heat.I had two more elements to do, but I was able to do them both at the same time, my second layer was technically my final layer.įor more Cricut material tutorials, see my tips for working with holographic iron-on vinyl, my Infusible Ink coasters project, my ultimate guide to using Infusible Ink with the Cricut Mug Press, and my tips for cutting wood with the Cricut Maker.

That’s because you’re not setting it completely. Then I used my EasyPress to press the material firmly for about 3 seconds. I used the Cricut heat guide reference to preheat the base material. Next I applied the base layer to the tote bag to cover the design. Since the text and the triangles were cut in different iron-on material, I just cut and placed those on the mat accordingly. I managed to cut everything in two rounds: one round for the base square, and one round for the text and the triangles. I then cut these separately on my Explore Air 2. Then I used that size to determine how big I wanted to make my accent pieces: the text and the triangle top and bottom borders. I used the shape drawing tool to create a square the size necessary to cover the Infusible Ink fail. The first thing I did was create my design in Design Space.
