Step 1

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.

Step 2

Size the design as you would like it to appear on your wood sign.

Step 3

Click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of your screen.

Step 4

In your preview screen, check ‘Mirror’ in the left panel for each mat, to reverse your image.

Step 5

Now, click ‘Continue’ in the bottom right corner of your screen and choose the correct material.

Step 6

Place the roll in the roll feeder and load your material for the first layer, shiny-side down, into your Cricut® machine. Press the blinking Cricut® icon to start cutting.

Step 7

Use the sliding cutter to separate from the roll and unload.

Step 8

Use your weeder tool to remove all the excess material around and inside your design. You’ll be left with just the reversed design on the clear plastic carrier sheets, which are slightly sticky.

Step 9

Preheat your EasyPress™ to the appropriate temperature for your material and, if needed, adjust the timer.
TIP: See the Quick Reference Guide, included with your EasyPress™, for temperature and times or click here an interactive guide. You can also use an iron to press your material. Just follow the instructions included in the iron-on material packaging.

Step 10

Place your EasyPress™ mat underneath your wood sign where you plan to start pressing.

Step 11

Place the carrier sheet with your design, so it’s sticky-side down, onto your wood sign. You should be able to see the layer through the carrier sheet, just as it will appear once pressed.

Step 12

Place your EasyPress™ on top of the design, apply the appropriate pressure for your material and press the time button. Let your material cool, the slowly remove the carrier sheet.

Step 13

For outdoor use, in a well-ventilated area, spray with a clear exterior/interior polyurethane coating.
