1. INTRODUCTION: Hi everyone, I'm Eva from Hanna Crash Design. In today's craft video, I'm going to share with you how to transfer your design onto a piece of fabric. I'm going to make this project as a room decor for my girls bedroom. I will display my artwork in an embroidery hoop. But you also can transfer this design onto a tote bag or make a tissue design. This project is suitable for any cricket machine I'm using. Cricket make a tree over here, but you also can do it on Cricket Joy and also Cricket Explorer. The S G file will be provided and I'm going to guide you step by step how to set up this file on Cricket design space. I will also share all the materials you need, such as the suitable material for the on the cutting mat, and also the weeding tool to remove the unwanted part of your design. Then I'm going to share with you how to transfer the design onto a piece of fabric. The heat setting is very important when it comes to transferring your design because different on, on materials require different heat setting. So I'm going to share with you how to find the suitable setting for your tools as well. After that, I'm going to share with you how I added some embellishment onto my artwork, such as adding this tiny croce flower. I will also share with you all the tools and materials needed to make this tiny flower. I added some to represent the stars. After that, I'm going to share with you how I finish up the project. I cut a card stock in circle shape with cricket maker and that's it. This is how the final project looks like. If you're interested to make this craft project, you can check out my next class. I will share all the tools and materials you need to make this project. 2. Lesson 1 : tools and materials: Hi everyone. In this lesson, I'm going to share with you all the two sand materials that you're going to need to make this project. For the cutting machine, I'm using Cricket maker Three, but this project is also suitable for Cricket Joy and also cricket explorer. For the cutting mat, I'm using this standard grid mat. However, if you're using smart iron on material, you might not need a mat for this project. I'm using this foil iron on Cricket has a wide variety of iron material as well as color to choose from. So you can be really creative with this and to remove the unwanted part of the metal, you will need this wedding tool. I'm going to display my artwork in an embroidery hoop. This is a 20 centimeter diameter embroidery hoop for the fabric. I'm using this 100% cotton marial. If you're not sure what kind of material to choose, you can go to Cricket.com Go to the heat guide and check the base material to transfer the design. I'm using this Cricket Easy press mini. The heat setting is very important for this project. Different material require different heat setting. Before you transfer your design, please check the heat guide in Cricket.com The SVG file for this project is available for download or you can go to Micro Design Space Profile. Go to the shared project and you can customize the artwork. You can personalize it. If you want to give this as a birthday present. I will provide S Fiji file and also the link to microcsign space profile in the class information below. For the flower embellishment, I'm using this crochet treat number 80 by the MC and I'm using 0.5 millimeter crochet hook to make this flower. We're also going to need some set bits. I'm using this Japanese toho bits inside 6.11 You don't have to follow exactly what I'm using here, just use whatever bits you have on hand. For the finishing touch, I'm going to cover up the back of my embroidery hoop with card stock. All right, that's all for the tools and metrios. In the next lesson, I'm going to share with you how I arranged the file, how I added the text, and also how to cut the image in cricket maker. 3. Lesson 2 : how to set up the file in Cricut Design Space and how to cut it: In this lesson, I'm going to share with you how to set up the file on Cricket Design space. All right. I have opened Cricket Design Space and this is my Cricket Design Space profile. And if you click on Share Project, you'll see all the project that I've done so far for the craft project that we're going to do today. I have saved it. And the girl room, the car. Click on that, then click Customize. For this project, I'm going to transfer my design onto a piece of fabric which I'm going to attach onto embroidery hoop. Please check the diameter of your embroidery hoop to make sure that your design is nicely placed within the embroidery hoop. This is how the file looks like. I put all design elements in a different layer. There's a separate layer for the moon and the text, and also a separate layer for the cat. I'm going to remove the text. You go to the text layer and delete that layer. Remember to adjust the size of the moon according to the size of your embroidery hoop. When you place the design into your embroidery hoop, none of the design elements will be cut off. I'm going to move this cat into the center part of the moon. Adjust the size a little bit. As you can see here, the part of the cat's design overlap with the constellation. To remove the constellation, select the moonflower layer and then you go to contour here at the bottom. Then all you have to do is just select the element that you want to remove. Then once you're done, you just click the close button. I'm going to adjust the size of the cat so it won't overlap with the star's design. Now we're going to merge these two layer together. Select both layers, and then go to the panel at the bottom here. Click Combine and Unite. If you want to personalize this design, let's say you want to add your daughter's name. Click on the text button at the left side panel. You can choose the phone. You can choose the style or the size according to your preference. If you want to have a curve text, you can go to the top panel here. You can move this circle and you can adjust how curve you want your text to be. I think I'm just going to go with a straight text at the bottom. Now select everything. Then go to the right bottom panel and click Attach, click, Make it in the next page, I'm setting up the material size to 30.5 by 30.5 M. Since we're going to use on Marial, don't forget to mirror your image. Once you're done with that, click continue. On the next page, we're going to set up the base material I'm going to use Foil on for this project. Click on that and click Done for the pressure. I'll just go with Default. In the next lesson, I'm going to share with you how to put the material on the Met. And also I will share with you the cutting process. 4. Lesson 3 : how to transfer your design onto a piece of fabric with Cricut Press: Hi everyone. In this lesson, I'm going to share with you how to transfer the design onto a piece of fabric using cricket mini press. First of all, you want to prepare your embroidery hoop. This is a 20 centimeter diameter embroidery hoop. And prepare your fabric. I'm using cotton material. Place the fabric in between two pieces of the hoop. Then I'm going to press down the outer hoop. Then you can tighten the screw and pull the fabric evenly so the fabric inside the hoop looks straight cut. The fabric give about one to two centimeter allowance around the hoop. Now I'm going to transfer the design onto this fabric with Cricket mini press. Remove the fabric of the hoop and I'm going to pre heat my fabric. You can check the heat guide from Cricket Design space at the left panel over here. And then choose your machine. I'm using Cricket as press mini. I'm going to choose that for the heat transfer material, I'm using foil iron on. Then for the base material I'm using 100% cotton. All right. This heat guide is very important to follow because every heat transfer material require different heat setting. All right? According to the hit guide, I need to pre hit my Cricket easy press to low setting. Place your fabric on clean cricket pressing mat and pre hit the fabric for 5 seconds. Place the Ion material face down. The line should be facing up. And then use the low setting on your cricket mini press to transfer the design. Press the mini press while moving with firm pressure at low setting for 25 seconds. You also can flip the cotton over and press for 15 seconds. Only remove the liner when it is not hot anymore. These steps is very important. You have to be very patient and wait for the material until it's totally cool before you remove it. Because I did try peel off the liner when the foil is still a little bit hot. And the foil didn't stick onto the fabric, but it was still attached to the plastic liner. All right, once you're done with that, we're going to put the fabric onto the embroidery hoop. In the next lesson, I'm going to share with you how I add some embellishment to my designs, such as crochet flowers and also some toho bits. 5. Lesson 4 : how to crochet the small flower: Lesson, I'm going to teach you how to make this crochet flower. To make this flower you're going to need crochet tract number 80 from DMC and also 0.5 millimeter crochet hook. On this tutorial, I'm going to use thicker trot and bigger hook so you can see it better. On screen, we're going to start with the magic circle. Wrap the yarn over your finger. Insert your hook underneath the first yarn and then grab the second, pull it through and twist. Then you're going to yarn over and pull it through the loop. Inside this magic circle. You're going to make six single crochet. This is my first single crochet. This is the second single crochet, 345, last 16. I keep my single crochet loose because later on we're going to work on the petal stitches inside that single crochet. Next, I'm going to tighten the magic circle by pulling the tail of the threat. And we're going to join the circle with a slip stitch. Next we're going to start with our first petal. I'm going to chain three, then a Trouble crochet. In the same stitch, I'm going to yarn over twice. Insert your hook in the same stitch. Over pull it through an over puss tulp, an over pustules, and an over puss tulp. Next I'm going to make five double trouble crochet in the same stitch. We're going to Y over three times. Insert. Hook in the same stitch. Over pull it through, over puss tulp. Y over puss tulsan, over puss tulp and over pustules. So this is our first double trouble crochet. And this is the second double trouble croce, continue. This is the third double trouble crochet. This is the fourth double trouble crochet. And this is the last double trouble crochet, which is the fifth double trouble crochet. Then after that I'm going to make a trouble crochet in the same stitch. And then after that we're going to chain 3123, and then we're going to make a slip stitch in the same stage. This is how our first petal looks like. Moving on, we're going to make a slip stitch in the next stitch, then we're going to continue with the second petal. Same thing again, we're going to slip stitch in the next stitch. And then after that we're going to chain 3123. Then after that we're going to start with the trouble crochet in the same stitch. Then after that I'm going to make five double trouble, crochet in the same stitch. This is our first double trouble crochet. This is the second double trouble crochet. This is the third double trouble crochet, the fourth double trouble crochet. This is the last double trouble crochet, which is the fifth double trouble crochet. Continue. We're going to make a trouble crochet in the same stitch. Then after that we're going to chain 3123 and then make a slip stitch in the same stitch. This is how the second pat looks like next. I'm going to make a slip stitch in the next stitch. Then after a slip stitch in the next stitch, after that, we're going to continue with the third petal, since the pattern is exactly the same as the first two petals. I'm going to speed up the video here. I'm almost done with my third petal, and currently I'm making a trouble. Then after that, I'm going to chain three, then we're going to make a slip stitch in the same stitch. Then after that we're going to make a slip stitch in the last stitch, then we're done to finish it off. You can tie not twice and then after that you can weave in the end. This is how the flower looks like if you're using crochet treat number eight and for a pair of earrings, you're going to need to crochet eight flowers. 6. Lesson 5 : finishing up and how to add embelishment onto your artwork: Hi everyone. In this lesson, I'm going to share with you how I added some embellishments such as this crochet flower onto my artwork. I have prepared some crochet flowers, which you can see the tutorial in previous class. There's no specific instruction to follow here. I'm just going to place and then I'm going to sew the flower around the design. Now it's time to sew the flower one by one. Bring up your needle up. I'm going to solve my first flower. I'm going to add this too, round bit size eight on the center of my crochet flower. I'm going to sew a few times to secure it. Then to finish it up, I'm just going to tie knots a few times on the back of embroidery hoop. And I will just keep adding beads and also adding crochet flowers on my artwork. Feel free to add more colors onto your artwork. You can use different color of beds, such as the light blue round toho bits, or you can also use different color of thread for your crochet flower. You actually can use embroidery thread to make this crochet flower. Just use one strand for one flower. But the chal***ging part will be this tract is very, very thin, so you might want to work under the magnifying glass so you can see all those stitches. All right, so this is how it looks like so far. Next I'm going to show you how to cover up the back of this embroidery hoop. So what we're going to do is we're going to gather the fabric together. I will use this blue cotton tract so it's easier for you to see on the screen. I'm going to stitch around the edge with running stitch. When you have stitch all the way around the edge, pull the tread until the fabric gathers together. Then I'm just going to saw a few times here before I tie a knot and cut off the access tread. Next I'm going to cut a circle from a cuts stock with my cricket machine. To cover up the back of this embroidery hoop, I use this critter cuts stock from Cricket. This is how I cut my circle backing in Cricket design space. Open new canvas and then go to the left panel and click on this shapes button. Then select Circle Shape. I'm going to adjust the size according to my embroidery hoop size. Make sure the operation mode is, but that's it. Click, make it. I'm going to cut this on the standard grip mat. The mat size is 30.5 30.5 M. On the next page, I'm going to set up the base material I'm using. Glitter cuts, stock default for the pressure and your circle is ready to be cut. And that's it. This is how the finished product looks like. Thank you everyone for joining my today. I hope you like this craft tutorial and see you in my next video. Bye.
