Use this Free “Hippity Hoppity” SVG Cut File to make adorable Easter shirts!
To make your own "Hippity Hoppity" Easter shirt, you'll need these supplies:
- Blank T-Shirt
- "Hippity Hoppity" cut file (commercial use available)
- Cricut Maker 3 or Cricut Explore Air 3 machine
- HTV/Iron-On Vinyl OR
- Glitter HTV/Iron-On Vinyl
- EasyPress 2
- EasyPress Mat
- Iron-On Protective Sheet
- Weeding Tools
Upload the "Hippity Hoppity" cut file into Design Space and size the image to fit your shirt. Ungroup the design, and select different parts to change colors as necessary. If you are making shirts for a group or siblings, you can change the colors around a little for each one so that every shirt is a little bit different - which is pretty fun!
Before cutting the iron-on vinyl, make sure to mirror your image! If you don't, your design will be backwards when you put it on the shirt. To do this, select the mat thumbnail in Design Space before cutting, and click the "Mirror" toggle to reverse the image.

For these shirts, I cut both HTV and glitter HTV with my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine. Place the vinyl face-down on the mat, and load it into the machine. Change the material settings to the type of vinyl you are cutting, and then click the "Go" button to cut the vinyl.
"Weed" the excess vinyl by removing all of the parts that don't belong in the design. I usually peel away the outer edges first starting at the corner, and then work my way around the design. Then I use weeding tools to help remove the smaller pieces of the design.
Plug in the EasyPress 2 and power it on. Each kind of HTV has a different heat and time setting, so be sure to check the recommended EasyPress settings before getting started. Adjust the heat and time setting to your shirt and vinyl specifications. Once the light turns green and the machine beeps, it's ready to use.
When the EasyPress is up to temperature, place your shirt on the EasyPress Mat and preheat the area for 5-10 seconds. Lay the HTV down on the shirt, with the clear carrier sheet facing up. Set the EasyPress over the vinyl and press the green "C" button. Hold firmly in place while the timer counts down. Turn the shirt over and press the EasyPress firmly again for 15 seconds.
Peel off the carrier sheet while the vinyl is still warm. If you are layering vinyl, repeat the process for each of the different colors of vinyl, but be sure to protect the vinyl that is already on the shirt with an Iron-On Protective Sheet.
The cut file comes with multiple file types, so you can cut the design with any vinyl cutting machine. I hope you enjoy using this Hippity Hoppity Easter cut file, and I would absolutely LOVE to see your creations!!
