How to Make Mommy and Me Shirts:
Are you ready to add some cuteness to a shirt and a onesie for mom and baby? It is so easy to make your own custom shirts with your Cricut machine. Just think of your own matching design for mom and her little one or use our candy corn design to get you started. Either way, you are sure to love the way this one turns out.

Supplies
- Siser heat press
- Siser HTV
- Onesie
- Shirt
- Weeding tool
- Cricut machine
- Cut file for shirt designs
Instructions
- Cut all of your heat transfer vinyl pieces using your Cricut machine. Be sure to place the material shiny side down on the mat and mirror your image before cutting. You can see more about how to use HTV here.
- Weed away all of the excess around the outside of your design as well as things like the centers of letters.
- I like to stack my pieces and make sure everything looks okay before pressing to my shirts.
- Start by pressing the bottom most layer onto your shirt. Be sure to follow all time and temperature recommendations from the manufacturer. I printed a guide from the Siser website.
- Peel back the carrier sheet from the first color and add the second. Be sure to cover the first with a carrier sheet before pressing to protect it from the heat. The press a second time to adhere your second color.
- Repeat the same steps for any additional colors. In this case, this onesie has four colors and all three were pressed in the same way.
- You will then need to repeat the same procedure for the adult-sized shirt.
- Remember that if a design is too large for the press you are using, you can always press once, move over, and press a second time to cover the entire design. Once you remove your final carrier sheet, your shirts are done and ready to wear!
These shirts are adorable and perfect for fall parties, pictures, or even trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. It is hard to find a good costume for baby, so make these shirts then make a candy cane tutu to go with the entire thing.
How to Make the Candy Corn Tutu
I just took yellow and orange fabric paint and added streaks to a tutu that I picked up a Michaels. Allow that to dry and you have a cute addition to these mommy and me shirts! You can pair this with a set of leggings or even change the shirts to long sleeves depending on where you live. But otherwise, you are ready for autumn with these matching shirts for mom and baby.
