Have you seen The Greatest Showman? Hopefully, by the time you’re reading this, I will have seen it too. I just love the soundtrack and especially the song: A Million Dreams.
I love it so much that I made a graphic tee shirt inspired by the song title. After all, I think we can all relate to being kept awake by thoughts and dreams, right?
This month’s Craft & Create with Cricut challenge is sponsored by Happy Crafters. I get all of my vinyl and HTV from Happy Crafters. And now Happy Crafters sells t-shirt blanks! And just not t-shirt blanks – all kinds of blanks: bags, sweatshirts, caps, activewear, kids clothes, accessories, etc. How awesome is that! Be sure to read all the way to the end to find out how you can win a Beginner’s HTV Prize Package from Happy Crafters.
Below is a short video where I explain step-by-step how I create a tee shirt design in Cricut Design Space. Don’t worry Silhouette friends, I haven’t forgotten about you! If you own a Silhouette and have any questions on how to design this in Studio, please leave a comment below and I’ll be happy tohelp you out!
How to Make Graphic T-Shirt in Cricut Design Space

Get to get the Cricut file here.
Remember to mirror the images and place the HTV shiny face down on the cutting mat before cutting.
Here are my tips for applying HTV with a heat press. Here is the affiliate link for the heat press that I own and love. If I didn’t own this heat press I would definitely be in the market for the Easy Press by Cricut.
My friends have made some t-shirt designs, too! Take a look at theirs and then enter the contest below to win a Beginner’s HTV Pack from our friends at Happy Crafter.

LOVE this quote and the font is gorgeous! I did see the movie, and I would see it 10 more times. Such a fun project, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic tutorial! I love this shirt- I wish it was dreams and not kids keeping me awake 🙂
I need to see this movie! I love the quote and the colors/fonts you chose!
I love this quote, too! I haven’t seen the movie yet but I’ve seen so many video clips I totally get the reference. It’s awesome that you have a heat press and yes, the Easy Press is a great alternative for anyone who doesn’t have one, for sure.
I haven’t seen the greatest showman yet but I am dying too! Love the shirt <3
Great shirt! I love that script font.
This is adorable, and I love all the other designs too!
Love the script font! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday! Can’t wait to see what you link up next week! Roseann from This Autoimmune Life

So fun! I am Cricut-less but think I can still find a way to make a graphic tee. Visiting from BFF party.
So cute! I would have never thought to do that. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Really, such a wonderful post!!
Making a graphic t-shirt seems like a really difficult process. I liked that you showed how you measure out the design can make a huge difference. I know that I wouldn’t want to get a shirt’s that logo is not centered.
Lovely blog for the T-shirts design. Thank you so much for your useful article.
