Mini But Mighty: 5 Amazing Projects With Cricut EasyPress

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

What was your favorite Cricut Project?

[@GrandpaCanCook]

First time I actually got to see the mini press to know the size and to see it in action. Wow. Dear Cricut Company you should send Crystal Ann a thank you for having me go to the Spotlight near me and buying a Cricut EasyPress Mini

[@sandystremming436]

I love my mini-press iron! It's been wonderful for little canvas bag decoupage and other smalls, plus I use it for large transfers on canvas bags and tea towels. I cover with parchment paper before ironing. Great little tool!

[@elizabethbennett2072]

I'm interested in using one for towels and pillow cases. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate 🙂

[@beckyhayes2004]

Had to Google cheer bow… Had no idea what you were talking about! Cute!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thank You!

[@lissettessantana3531]

I absolutely love it , so many projects you can complete with this press machine , very cute compact , light weight for easy transport , you can take with you while traveling or visiting friends and have fun with them making projects.

[@lisasilber2749]

I’m new to the world of Cricut press and I ordered my very first mini

[@sillychairbear]

Thank you so much for this demonstration. Great tips! I just took my cricut easy press mini out of the box and needed to watch a video to get an idea on how to use it. You did a great step by step.

[@pepethepatriot7524]

I'm planning to do some lanyards with mine! It's PERFECT for lanyards!

[@jessb4035]

Love love love the nude nails color!!!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thanks you❤️

[@tigerjayhart9634]

Honestly amazed about what I can use my mini press for first time ever having a Cricut ahhh so excited

[@mbae7865]

Great Video..do you use Heat transfer carrier sheet or transfer tape would do?

[@cool_dude1988]

how do you make your transfer stickers? what kind of machine and software did you use?

[@martinahinojosa325]

Awesome video, I love it and I learned allot, thank you so much beautiful for cheering with us your wonderful ideas.

[@judeyyudkin3183]

Great tutorial! To the point and not to wordy. Thank you for sharing

[@donnatoliver3075]

You mentioned a mini cushion for the pocket, you did not use for this project, but where did you get the cushion? Did you cut something that would fit if needed? Please advise.

[@sandraa9772]

Hi, cricut newbie here! Do you recommend to always iron on multi-layer tranfers one layer at a time? I just bought my first cricut and I'm so excited to try a project.

[@rohimaxxx]

How was your experience

[@jadoreparistoutlesjours6221]

So many great ideas!!! ❤️. Gotta get me one just for granddaughters hair bows.

[@yvettewilliams9078]

You are a very good teacher very detailed love it I can't wait to start.

[@lindabrown4042]

I love your video!! I have so much to learn. I just ordered a Cricut and heat press. OMG!!!!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Awww thank you I'm soooo Excited for you woot woot!!!!

[@vzburns1]

I just got mine too. Lol I haven't done a lot with it but everything I have done is amazing! Now my sister and daughter wants the maker. It wouldn't have anything to do with me talking about it incessantly lol I haven't used the easy press yet...I'm scared lol but have cut alot of paper and some vinyl. LOVING :-)

[@saurousandmom]

Hi. Thank you for the video. Very helpful. Love the shoes. For interest sake, how long did u shoes last? If you can remember... 😂 video was made 4 years ago. Love to hear from u.

[@Happybidr]

Thanks for doing this video. Very helpful, creative and thoughtful.

[@michellesantiago3325]

Thanks for sharing. I would love to have it, but even at $49 at Walmart, it's too expensive for my budget. I guess I will have to wait and keep using my iron of Easy press 2 6x7 size. Love your videos.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Eventually Cricut will have a sale and maybe they will have a great deal Black Friday

[@SAMZIRRA]

Nice work ma'am.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thank you so much❤️

[@JazzyPhay15]

Struggling with my iron when I don’t wanna get my heat press out or can’t because of the type of project but couldn’t justify a easy press but I GET IT NOW!! Thank you for your tutorial!

[@cheryls2022]

I do most of my pressing with a 15 x 15 heat press. Pressure is a huge factor for keeping the HTV on the t-shirt, towel, hat, etc. Is this mini press going to be able to press the garment enough where you can see the fabric through the vinyl? Will it stay on? (I just received my mini today, haven't tried it out yet.) Thank you for your video!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

yes just give it a little pressure

[@42er1322]

I have cricut iron on... Do I need different vinyl to do hair bows?

[@nikkihoffman2891]

I was wondering about that exact Easy press. I wish it reached a higher heat level for small projects using sublimation ink. Thanks for such an informative video, as always!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Your so welcome ❤️

[@CUBACHINA1986]

I love the way u articulate 👌

[@thekayway5872]

Do you need a circuit machine ? Or... I dont have a cricut or the money for one so im trying to find an alternative.. Would i have to have the circuit for print an cut first? This is more in my budget but didnt want to buy if i still need a circuit machine.

[@Miyahonsatrn]

ok... so i found this website that sells cricut machines for like 70-80 dollars let me know if you'd like the link💜 i haven't purchased one yet but i've heard good reviews

[@raTchelmae]

you will need a cricut or die cutting machine to do super intricate patterns, but you could hand cut and layer different colors of heat transfer vinyl on your own. This is an accessory. technically you can just buy heat transfer vinyl and the transfer sheets from your local craft shop. Then hand cut your shapes, and then use this product (easy press mini) to adhere your design to the material. you won't have such an easy time removing the top layer of clear from the pieces tho.

[@charplattner395]

Love your videos! I just received the mini for a gift am anxious to use it, but nervous about not using parchment or Teflon on top. do you not just with the mini?

[@raTchelmae]

@@charplattner395 go ahead and use parchment paper on top when you iron anyways, it is just a good idea to keep the iron plate clean just in case :)

[@thatssorubes]

@@Miyahonsatrn can I get the link?

[@susantaylor769]

If you don't like it...don't buy it. Why are people compelled to be so negative. It confuses me.

[@reynasr9]

Same OMG! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@ufoquilter86]

Love it! Question about the layers.....if you are ironing each layer for 25 sec, is it messing with the integrity of the layers?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I used to worry about that and would do 10 to 15 sec for each layer and then the final 25 for the last layer but I have never noticed a difference in durability or lasting from one way to the next hope this helps

[@Validyk]

i just bought a cricut air 2, i don't want a huge cricut heat machine, so would it be okay if i used this for normal t shirts on the occasion i need to? looks like it works perfectly! and its small enough for me to store , thanks for the video!!!

[@demsviral1862]

Thanks i bought one & made 6 grams of wax ROCK ONNN!!!🤘🏾

[@cindypineda5797]

Is an easy press necessary though.? Can i use a regular iron for the cricut heat press vinyl.? (Sorry for the ignorant question im just starting )

[@angelrenie]

Did you make your iron on prints? I need your advice... thanks!

[@schneider4414]

Isn't it just a mini iron? Still trying to find the justification to get one.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Yes it's that small iron to grab for those small or hard to get to spots :)

[@vzburns1]

The easy press gets alot hotter than the average iron. If you want to do small INFUSABLE ink projects it would be a must have over an average household iron.

[@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372]

I’m actually thinking of getting this to help me while I’m sewing

[@JazzyPhay15]

I have a standard iron but have been tired of it gettin TOO hot and running my projects

[@mariaberumen1087]

What is the clear material on top of the vinyls?

[@ShoryoTombo]

LOL!!! 'I will not say her name'... at home, we learn not to say her name too, because it activates the echo pods. LOL!! So glad to see this tutorial, I was being indecisive of purchasing it.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

She's still nosey as ever... I don't understand can you repeat that 😂😂😂

[@ShoryoTombo]

@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat LMAO!!! 😂😂😂

[@JayFiggyy]

Hi! not sure if you'll see this, but how long do the designs normally last after washes?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I have been doing this for over 10 years and it lasts a long time after a years of use you may see some cracks or pealing but it takes a long time

[@keshundriaM]

Really wanna start a phone case business! Would this be good for phone cases?

[@mylohudson806]

That works for phone cases ?

[@deja9685]

I just purchased one, thank you!

[@samigreene4288]

Hi I have a different question lol which ipad do you use?? And is it good for using with the cricut maker and designing and do you also use it for your utube and editing?? I'm on the hunt for a good ipad or laptop for both utube and with the cricut maker ;) thanks for any help

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

This may be to late i use the iPad Pro but you could use the cheapest one for this purpose I’m obsessed with using the ipad with my cricut over using the laptop or desktop amzn.to/3aVXFkO

[@samigreene4288]

Thank you so much hun! It’s not to late at all ;) I’ve been saving to get an iPad Pro lol this helps me so much 🥰😁

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

@@samigreene4288 I’m so glad your going to love it 😍 hope you have a great day

[@roxannewalker84]

Like this little easy press!

[@SewArtStudio]

Thank you! Is it better to pair with an IPad or an Android device? I need a new device and trying to decide between IPad or Android. Thanks for your time!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

iPad hands down

[@courtneym7743]

May I ask what is Mesh? Why wouldn't you choose glitter. Sorry just learning. 😊 Love your video!

[@drizzyfest6285]

What transfer paper do you recommend for shirts?

[@justanotha9553]

How long does it last and and what about when its washed will it come off

[@mileychang7124]

Does it damage after washing the towel?

[@BosCozyCorner]

How do you make the some of the design glittery? Also how do you get them printed out on plastic like that?

[@vnuswine]

I was wondering about the pressure and if u have to keep moving or firm press steady

[@BuffyLynn]

Do you like using design space on the iPad over a computer better?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Computer over iPad but I think its more preference of what device you use more I'm on my laptop more

[@crudivor]

I find that the program works better on ipad when it comes to uploading pics from the internet that you have to clean up. Otherwise they both work well

[@karissawright3136]

Just got an easy press for Christmas- I’m curious what the clear sheet you have the design on is- trying to get everything I need- thanks!

[@marlaj5157]

Karissa Wright I believe the clear sheet you are referring to is the plastic carrier sheet. It is what the iron on vinyl comes on and it is what is left after you weed / remove the pieces of vinyl you aren’t using. I believe that is what she is putting on to also prevent ruining the layers that are already ironed on. I hope I answered correctly and that it made sense! I know how hard it is when you’re trying to figure it all out! Good luck! This is a great video, thank you!for all the info !

[@shanajablue48]

I just bought it, very nice..

[@craftygirl79]

Can I also use infusible markers with the mini iron on toddler tennis shoes?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

They say it does not work with infusible ink it may not get hot enough but I personally think it would work

[@Emz.13]

Cute! Would it work good to make pine cases for practice Orr would I need the bigger circuit?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I have not tested this but if you put it on the highest setting I bet so you would have to be careful not to shift

[@knitknack2285]

Really cute 💡!

[@craftwithcatherine1883]

Super cute tutorial, it was a lot of fun to watch!!

[@Cavernvision]

I'm new to this. Just so I understand, is this really just a mini iron that hooks up to a tablet? For some reason, I had been thinking that the patterns are first programed in the tablet and then the iron copies it onto the fabric. But seeing this video, it looks like you need the iron- ons, and this little machine just heats it?

[@louisekearns4615]

Thanks the video, I've just ordered one of these and I've no idea what I'm doing. If anyone can give me some advice and tips I'd appreciate as I'm starting with no knowledge.

[@kandypowell6133]

Can you use it to make a sublimation phone case

[@nataliabrentano5515]

I want to buy the cricut to put my small logo on my clothes collection, does it work for that ? And which paper should i print it on? Like the one you use for the pocket.

[@elise1577]

You can get iron on paper from Walmart and use that on your regular printer but if you have a Cricut use vinyl
