Cricut Joy tutorial | Smart iron-on | Great for beginners

Welcome to my tutorial showing how I use my Cricut JOY to cut some iron on and use my Cricut mini easypress to attach it to pencil pouches. In this tutorial I use smart iron-on - by the way I'm loving the ease of smart materials with no more mats!! If you haven't tried iron on before I hope this tutorial inspires you to give it a go and have fun with your Cricut!
I'm so happy to share my Joy with you!

Thanks so much for your lovely comment and I’m happy you understand my accent 💕

[@naiyahp]

I have both the machines they are amazing I got the easy press mini yesterday but I got the joy last Christmas 2020 ( I already have the easypress 2 9x9 inch.) just saying.

[@pamelotti66]

Fantastic tutorial I love your clear explaining! Gives my confidence to use my joy I just purchased! A quick question, when you said you could tape it down to iron, what type of tape would you use? Thank you 😊

[@jykirachanelle2599]

Thank you. Can you make a video on how to make budget planners? I just got the Cricut and I don’t know what I’m doing lol

[@kieramonahan9574]

Thanks for this it is super helpful!! Have you ever used an iron/pilllowcase in place of the press?

[@itsycrafty]

Thanks for watching. I haven't used my iron but I know others have. An iron doesn't heat as evenly as a press but it should be possible if you're careful. Probably I would tape the edges of the iron-on design to the surface so it doesn't slip and use baking/parchment paper between the iron-on and the iron itself. It might take some experimenting to work out your iron setting but I would recommend using it on dry (not steam) and starting with a medium heat. I would try with some offcuts of iron-on and some scrap fabric. Have fun!

[@kiaradavis6594]

Great tutorial! Do you know if you can use iron ons from different brands with the joy?

[@itsycrafty]

Hi, I haven't but the Joy comes with mats that you can put the vinyl on so you can use whatever vinyl you like. Smart vinyl is just easier as you don't need a mat but anything you can put on a cricut mat on your bigger machine you can put on the Joy mat too :)

[@anngreenberg9617]

Great Tutorial, thank you. do you have a tutorial where you used the permanent vinyl on a pouch?

[@itsycrafty]

Thanks for watching. I don't have a tutorial but I can do that. I think in the long run with fabric pouches iron on is much more durable however with vinyl pouches I've had no problem with the adhesive vinyl I've applied to them.

[@AprilShowers560]

Great tutorial, can you use just a regular iron for transfers?

[@princessarie8676]

Can you do glitter with this?

[@andreatthatsme]

Hi. I watched one of your old videos on making travel journal covers. I don't have cricut but I use "sizzix" vinyl cutter. Basically, it uses the same files. Since I cannot download from cricut, do you have the measurements of the 3 cover sizes? If so, can you share the project with me that way? Thank you for the video.🤗

[@talyfaith]

Love this! Can this be layered with other smart iron on colors? I’m doing a shadow for the text. Thanks

[@craftypup508]

The Cricut website said you cannot put it on the holographic but you can put holographic on the every day.

[@talyfaith]

@@craftypup508 Thank you😊

[@rachelweston2169]

can a house iron be used at all to iron onto fabric?

[@CharlieandAna]

Do you have a video using the smart iron on glitter?? I'm a beginner and I can't figure out how to use it properly

[@luluahmed9283]

Hi that was nice lesson thank you 🙏me I ask how could we change the language in the text in to Arabic?

[@dragonfly3341]

I can’t get my smart vinyl to work on canvas using the Mini press any tips???

[@dragonfly3341]

ICan’t get my smart iron on vinyl to adhere to my canvas bag is in the mini press do you have any tips please

[@paulinehooker1550]

Are you able to share where you purchase the pouches

[@itsycrafty]

Hi, these pouches are both from Simply Gilded monthly subscription kits. I have sooooo many pouches from various subscription kits but you can buy cute pouches lots of places, even Kmart and then personalise them using a Cricut.

[@lisadevenberg8372]

How can use your own design

[@itsycrafty]

Hi, you can iron on your own design by creating your own design in design space to cut from the iron on. The options are endless!

[@MsJnatal]

Today I’m going out to get the Joy

[@itsycrafty]

Yes!! I hope you are enjoying using Joy. It's so handy having a little machine on my craft space to quickly make things. I reach for this machine the most and I hope you're using it and having fun :)

[@craftypup508]

The Cricut Joy site specifically says it automatically mirrors the image when a heat transfer item is selected in the Joy app. I know this video is a little old, so I’m wondering if this is accurate on their part. Thanks!

[@AussieMumVLOGS]

I just purchased my cricut joy and feel intimidated. I don't know what to make or how to use a nice font. It's overwhelming on your first project I.am also.not really sure how to measure. Do I need to put my design in the top left hand corner?

[@sherryaugustus5600]

I tried it on a camouflage jacket and it didn’t work 😞

[@eh2179]

*lint roller

[@nicoleallensworth3472]

Why is it not working!!😢
