One of the thing’s we look forward to during the Summer besides lounging or hitting the beach is shark week. My boys always wait for it with such anticipation and this year is no exception. Today, I’m going to show you how to make a shark t-shirt that’s fun to wear anytime, but especially perfect for Shark Week.

The other day I was at Joanns and saw they had shirts on sale, right away the boys asked if I could make them a shark t-shirt. Of course I said yes and we snagged up some shirts so I could customize them at home. Today I will show you just how easy it is to customize your very own shark t-shirt.
Shark t-shirt supplies:
- Cricut Explore
- Cricut Weeder
- Cricut Iron On Vinyl
- Plain T-Shirt
- Cricut EasyPress
- Cricut EasyPress Mat
Next you will need to open the Cricut Design Space and you can either make your own design or you can choose from the two designs I created. I made a FEED ME shirt as well as a COME TO THE SHARK SIDE shirt.
After finalizing your design you will cut out your image. REMINDER: Since this is an iron on project make sure to MIRROR your image.
While your design is being cut out on your Cricut Explore turn on your EasyPress machine and set it to the recommended settings. Let it start warming up.
Once your design is done cutting out you will need to weed out any of the iron on that you do not need.
Next place your blank shirt on top of the Cricut EasyPress and iron your shirt for about 5 seconds to remove any moisture. You will then put your design on top of the shirt.
Now you just need to use your EasyPress to iron on your image. When the timer has run out put your EasyPress back on the base.
Once the liner is cool to touch you can slowly remove it. Remove it in a diagonal way it makes it easier.
I hope this tutorial on how to make your own shark t-shirt was helpful. This tutorial can be helpful for any other iron on vinyl project you might want to do you just need to change out the design. It is a very beginner friendly tutorial. The video below shares the step by step process if you would rather see it in video form.
