How To Make A "Sweat Activated" Gym Shirt With Cricut

 
How To Make A Sweat Activated Design For A Gym Shirt

There are three ways to make these shirts:
1. Apply Vinyl  to The Inside Of The Shirt
2. Apply Iron On Transfer Paper To The Outside Of The Shirt
3. Use a "Water Resistant" spray and a stencil.  (This method does not appear to hold up for more than couple of washings)

Method #1

Use a grey htv, on a grey shirt.  
DO NOT MIRROR YOUR DESIGN
Turn the shirt inside out, and apply.

Method #2
Use a Printable Iron On Transfer Paper For Lights (normally this is used for print then cut projects, but for this project, you will not print, only cut.)

(I like the Avery Brand.  For this project, use the paper for lights)

Place the transfer paper on your mat upside down (Do Not use a mat that is too sticky! Use this as if you were cutting paper.)

Do Not Mirror your design

Cut on the light cardstock setting

Weed off the excess paper, right from the mat, leaving your text behind

Apply Heat Transfer Tape (clear plastic sheet leftover from HTV)

Flip Matt to remove the design (as you would when removing paper)

Iron, then let cool before peeling off the backing.

See this in a video tutorial on TroyTube

METHOD #3

Method 3 involves using a stencil, and spraying the shirt with a waterproofing spray.  This method however, will not hold up to multiple washings.
