Here's an adorable baby shower gift for the mom-to-be: an iron-on onesie depicting a smiley black cat, custom-made using the Cricut® Explore Air 2 machine.
Make a complete outfit with matching leggings (the same instructions here apply) and a pair of sneakers. For more ideas, scroll through our entire collection of Handmade Baby Gifts and Baby Shower Gifts.
Design and cut iron-on: Follow the project link to Design Space®. If you want to alter the project, click "Customize," then use the tools in the Edit panel to make changes. Select "Mirror On," then click "Continue," or "Make It."
Cut a 12-by-6-inch piece of Iron-on Lite and place it film-side down onto the StandardGrip mat.
Follow the prompts to load the machine: Set SmartSet Dial to "Iron-on." Load Fine-Point Blade in Clamp B. Load mat and press the Load/Unload button.
Press the flashing "Go" button, and cut! Unload the mat. Remove the film from the cutting mat. Against a firm and protected surface, use the Weeder from the Basic Tool Set to remove the negative film from the backer (the film "positive" should remain on the backer). (Tip: Gently poke the material to lift or scrape away.)
Repeat Steps 2-4 for the second mat.
Assemble: Cut off the excess film around the designs for the cat head and face.
Place the black cat head design on the desired area of the outfit.
Follow the ironing instructions included with the Iron-on Lite packaging to adhere the material with an iron.
Place and align the white cat face on top of the head. Repeat previous step. (Tip: You can learn more about Iron-on application at help.cricut.com.)
