One of the things that I’ve seen a lot of in recent years is the denim jackets with the bride’s new last name. It is great for pictures, and honestly extremely easy to DIY.
I was inspired to take out my Cricut to do so, and I debuted it at my shower at last weekend. Today, I am sharing how to make one for yourself. I will preface this by saying that I am still a novice with my Cricut, so this is easy for beginners as well. I plan to also give this as a gift to all new brides that I know, because it’s something that I got compliments on all throughout my shower.
What You Need:
- Cricut Machine (I have the Cricut Joy)
- Cricut Iron On Paper
- Jean Jacket, which you could use one that you own or get one off of Amazon. I got this one here, and I loved having the pearls.
- Cricut Tools (particularly the weeding tool)
- Cricut Smart Press
- Matt on the back of jacket.
Steps:
- Start by downloading/opening up Cricut Design Space.
- Create Your Design. I used sunflowers on mine because sunflowers are my favorite flowers, however, you can customize it to almost anything.
- Print the design on the Cricut Machine.
- Once everything is printed, go ahead and weed out everything that you do not need.
- Preheat your Cricut Smart Press.
- Once the smart press is preheated, go ahead and lay the jacket on on a surface underneath.
- Following the instructions listed here, go ahead and do it for the temperature listed for the type of fabric/iron on that you’re using.
- Once the time is finished, make sure that you got the whole design.
- Let the design cool. I’d recommend you give it about five minutes, or so.
- Peel the paper, and your design is done.
