My Cricut Scrapbooking

I found this video on YouTube so I thought that I would give it a try.

I decided to just start with something semi easy.  The Tinkerbell from the Tinkerbell cartridge.  I followed the directions in the video except I used blade depth of 4 Instead of 5 because with a new blade, the 5 depth kept tearing.  I did not want to spend a lot of money on t-shirts in case this project did not turn out.  And this design had several little pieces so I used the tip of my iron real quick on it to tack them down as I was piecing it together so they did not keep moving on me.  Then ironed the whole thing as the video suggested.  I ended up just buying a 5 pack of cheap t-shirts that have a light ribbing in them.  I don’t recommend them for fabric painting because in a few places the fabric paint did not settle in the groove of the ribbing and it slightly pealed when I went to remove the freezer paper but other then that it is awesome.   I a going to get some higher quality t-shirts next time they go on sale at Joann’s.  They have a 5 for 10.00 sale every so often.

Here I put my fabric paint on a left over piece of the freezer paper.

Here is a picture after I applied the fabric paint.

This is the finished design.  I think that it turned out well.  It does need to be a higher quality shirt  because the bottom pealed up a little bit but other then that, my daughter can wear this with no problems.
