Most people think onesies, bibs, tote bags, and pillows when they see these, but when I saw the "New to the Crew" design, I immediately thought of Baby Banks!  She's new to the crew, and just look at her.  She realllly wanted something cute to wear!  It was perfect!

So, I made her this little outfit, and then I also made her a bandana because I just. couldn't. stop!  Take a peek below to find out how you can make something, too!

What To Do:

The projects only take four simple steps and a few minutes to complete. 

Before you begin, choose a work surface (like a counter top) and protect it with a towel that's been doubled over, or use an EasyPress Mat.  

1.  PREHEAT:  Preheat your iron or EasyPress to the recommended setting for the materials you are using.  If you are using an EasyPress, find the recommended settings here:  https://help.cricut.com/easypress-recommended-settings.   Once the desired temp is reached, warm the area where you will be applying the iron-on design following the instructions on the back of the iron-on design package.

2.  PLACE:  Place the iron-on design onto your project. 

3.  PRESS:  If you are using an iron, follow the instructions on the back of the Iron-on Designs package. If you are using an EasyPress, follow the instructions for either a towel or the EasyPress Mat in the recommended settings:  https://help.cricut.com/easypress-recommended-settings.  Turn the project over and press the back side.  (I pressed for 15 seconds).

4.  PEEL:  Let the project cool completely.  Peel the plastic carrier sheet away. (This is called a cold peel). 

That's all there is to it!  SO easy, right?  And just look at that baby!  Gah.  Can you even stand the cuteness?!!

If you want to make the bandanna, you just follow the same simple steps.  Here's a peek at how that turned out: 

The bandanna I bought was too big for her chest, so we just swung it around to the back.  Too darn adorable for words!

How to Care for Your Project: 

  • Wait 24 hours after application to wash

  • Turn inside out before washing and drying

  • Do not bleach

  • Iron inside out

Baby Banks and I hope we've inspired you to create something fun for your fur baby...or any baby, for that matter.  ;)  Be sure to share pics and tag me on social media, if you do.  I love seeing what you create!

Until next time, hugs from me and the pup!
