My daughter loves to help out with my Cricut machine. She pushes the buttons, feeds the sheets for cutting, and even helps me with weeding. She is also interested in the design process, and offers thoughts over my shoulder as I sit at the computer. Since she has been paying so much attention to the process, I created some shirt designs that allow her to have a say in where the elements of the design will go. She enjoys a sense of ownership which makes her extra proud to wear her shirts.
Click on the designs below to visit the Etsy download pages for each.
Cricut Design Space computer instructions for cutting the shirt files are below.
