Free "Geometric Heart" SVG Cut File

Geometric Heart T-Shirt with Free Cut File at artsyfartsymama.com


I have been crushing on everything gold and geometric lately. I've been using it in our home decor, new accessories, and of course on our clothes! My daughter is a girly girl and anything glam is a must-have, but our wallets don't agree. Finding trendy clothing for kids can add up quick, so we decided to design our own Geometric Heart T-Shirt for her to wear instead! It was so easy to make, and I promise you can do it, too.

What you'll need to make a Geometric Heart Shirt:

Upload the geometric heart cut file into Design Space and size it to fit your shirt. Mirror the image, then cut the design out on iron-on vinyl by choosing the Iron-On Vinyl option under the custom setting. Make sure the vinyl is face down! Once the design is cut out, weed out the design using the weeding tool.

Now the design is ready to be placed on the shirt! The iron-on vinyl has a tacky liner on top of the vinyl so that you can easily place the vinyl on your project and keep it in place!

  1. Set your iron to the Cotton/Linen setting with the steam OFF.
  2. Lightly preheat the area with the iron for 10-15 seconds. This really does help!
  3. Place your image, liner side UP onto the area. If you don't place the liner side up, it will stick to your press cloth.
  4. Carefully lay a press cloth or dishtowel over the design.
  5. Apply medium pressure with the iron for 25-30 seconds.
  6. Flip the shirt over and apply medium pressure with the iron to the back for an additional 25-30 seconds.
  7. If you have any parts that didn't stick for some reason or if edges are flipping up, re-iron the pieces or loose edges with the iron tip for 10 seconds.
  8. Let cool and remove liner. If you try to remove the liner before it cools, you risk burning your fingers or peeling the iron-on up.

Now the shirt is ready for wearing! The vinyl holds up great in the wash. If your vinyl appears to be coming off at all, you can hold the iron over it again and it should re-stick. I'd love to hear if you make a shirt using this design!

  1. I actually have been researching vinyl shirts myself. I have a Silhouette Cameo and will definitely try this. The shirt came out so cute!
