On the hunt for Disneyland Outfits? This DIY Minnie Mouse Sweatshirt is a super easy Cricut Tutorial.

Ok, now here's the deal.  I AM NOT CRAFTY.  I want to be.  But it is not my gift.  So when I attended a fun pop up event here in LA that Cricut was throwing….I'm not gonna lie, I was apprehensive.  They even sent me my very own Cricut Explore Air 2 cutting machine to try out.  But still….I wasn't sure.  Well at the pop up? I got to see a couple demonstrations of simple Cricut projects and I was BLOWN AWAY.  I could actually DO THAT.  So I came home, and I started practicing.  And crafting…..who was I?

Now, we all know I love my Disneyland Outfits.  And Cricut? They're a licensed Disney partner.  They have some amazing Disney design elements in their library (and more that you can purchase for an additional fee).  So I decided it was time to try my own Cricut Tutorial.  Our DIY Minnie Mouse Sweatshirts.  And I'm embarrassingly proud of how well they turned out.

Disneyland Oufits: These Minnie Mouse Sweatshirts are super easy to make and perfect for Disney trips!

Disneyland Outfits: Cricut DIY Minnie Mouse Sweatshirt

Since we were heading to Toontown to take pictures a few days after my crafting session…..I decided to make sweatshirts inspired by our favorite girl, Minnie Mouse.  Her adorable house is the perfect spot to take girly fun pictures, and I knew Lydia would flip over anything pink.  The best part? These Minnie Mouse Sweatshirts are simple enough to wear outside the parks, but themed enough to wear in them.  I always suggest packing a sweatshirt for cooler evenings, and fair warning, this one will be in regular rotation for all of our Disney trips.

Materials Needed:

Cricut Explore Air 2: I'm obsessed with how easily and perfectly the Explore Air can cut materials including paper, vinyl, iron on material (that's what we'll be using), cardstock, and cork

Iron On (pink): Since we're making sweatshirts, Iron On material is a requirement.

Cricut EasyPress: The Easy Press made ALL the difference for these Minnie Mouse Sweatshirts.  Yes, you can use an iron.  But it's not going to be as even.  The press has adjustable, evenly distributed heat.   It takes the guesswork out of the ironing on and makes everything look a little more professional.

Essential Tool Kit: This tool kit had all the pieces I needed to weed my design.  Weeding? Removing the little pieces that had been cut but needed to be taken out (aka the center of Minnie's bow).

Sweatshirts: We used super simple white cotton sweatshirts.  They were a great price, and worked out perfectly.

Directions:

  1. In the Cricut Design Space, select our design to grab the template I created.  This will open to the exact bow and Minnie Mouse signature that we used and you can see the whole thing in a perfect pink shade.
  2. You can change the size of each design element if you want to adjust for a kids' shirt or a smaller option.
  3. Before you move on to the cutting, be SURE to switch the mirror option to ON.  This makes the design print backwards so that when you transfer it to the fabric, it will be right side up.  Trust me, this is an important do not miss it step!
  4. Attach your iron on to the cutting mat, and load with the shiny side down.
  5. Print out, and remove extra material.  Use your tools to weed, or remove the extra pieces in between parts of the letters or design.
  6. Set your EasyPress to the correct temperature (you can use the heat settings designated in the heat guide) and set up your sweatshirts.  I used an EasyPress Mat which helped a ton and set it all up on our dining room table (it felt like the right height to me).
  7. Prep your sweatshirt by heating for about 10 seconds, then place the design in your desired location.  Apply the EasyPress, set the timer, and remove when it goes off.  Afterwards, turn the sweatshirt over, and press the back for about 10-15 seconds. Remove the clear liner.

Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
