Set up the Cricut Explore Air2 and connect it to your computer

navigate to Cricut.com and grab the links to my DIY Valentines Day Towels, There are two of them "You Take The Cake" and "You're the Cup to My Cake"

From here the directions are exactly the same for both of the towels so you'll see photos from You Take the Cake

Once you've opened the project, click Make it or Customize it which allows you to make the project more to your liking

Once you're ready to make it hit Make It

On the Make It screen be sure to hit MIRROR which will cut the design out in the reverse so it's ready to Iron-On

Load your Cricut Mat with the material you're using, and put in the cutting blade if you don't already have it loaded up

Choose your material by turning the dial to Custom on the Cricut Machine and selecting on your computer exactly which material you're cutting

Hit the Flashing Arrows Button to feed in the mat

Then press the flashing Cricut Button and let the Cricut do its thing

Once it's done it's time to weed your design, which simply means pick out all the pieces you DON'T want to be transferred to your dish towel

be sure to pick out even the smallest bits

now you're ready to Easy Press your design

plug it in and set it the correct temperature by pressing the thermometer button and toggling up the heat buttons on the right side, set the temperature at 330˚

Then set your time the same way, you want to press this for 30 seconds , then you'll flip it and press the whole thing again for 15 seconds

lay your Cricut Pad down on the table, lay the dish towel over it

lay the vinyl face down where you want it, I put mine on the corner but do yours however you like it

when the Easy Press is hot set it on top of the design and hold it steady, don't press down and don't move it around

once the timer dings off your project is almost done, simply flip the towel and the vinyl over and press again for 15 seconds

let it cool slightly and gently peel off the plastic coating your design was on, be sure you work slowly and don't just rip it off
