I love a good tee, add a travel phrase and you have the perfect, comfy travel uniform ready to go! Even better, add in a little bit of the new Cricut Patterned Iron On™ & you have a super unique, cute travel tee that everyone will ask you where it’s from. Our partners at Cricut sent over the Nature Walk Basics Patterned Iron-On Sampler (because I’m all about the black and white) and I am HOOKED! It goes on beautifully and adds that bit of interest that plain phrase tees sometimes lack!

How cool are these patterns?! The packs come with 3 -12” x 17” sheets each in a different design. They’re perfect to mix and match or use on their own! You can see the other patterns here.

I made up 3 different travel themed shirts and link to the Cricut Design Space project so you can easily make your own if you want! These were super simple to put together but here are the basic steps and tips.

Here’s what I used:

Cricut® Nature Walk Basics Patterned Iron-On Sampler
Cricut Iron-on Lite in black
Cricut Maker
EasyPress (totally made me love doing these projects again)
EasyPress Mat
Essential Tool Set
Shirts

HOW TO MAKE DIY TRAVEL TEES

OK, here’s how I did it.

Open up the file for the shirt you want to make – ADVENTURE / TRAVEL MODE / ROAD TRIP TEE
Click “make”
Select “mirror” on your cuts and cut out with the iron-on of your choice following on screen instructions. Tip: save the middle of large cut outs by trimming out the “white space”.
Once you’re ready to press, start with the Cricut Patterned Iron On™. Apply some heat to your shirt for a few seconds to prep. Place the Cricut Patterned Iron On™ on your shirt and use EasyPress settings listed here depending on your shirt material. The EasyPress mat is the PERFECT tool for protecting your workspace and getting the best results!
Allow to cool completely before peeling off the backing.
Repeat with the Iron-on Lite and the proper settings instructed on Cricut.
Enjoy!

Super simple right?! Cricut has great info in their FAQ if you aren’t familiar with how to use their machines but once you do it a time or two it’s so simple!

Then, you just wear, travel, & enjoy!
