Cricut Hat Press: Everything You Need to Know to Create HTV and Infusible Ink Hats!

Fun fact: I love hats. But I've haven't created a tutorial on how to personalize a hat with iron-on vinyl or Infusible Ink because it's hard to apply anything to a hat without flattening and deforming it. And while there are hat presses out there, they are big and bulky and they never seemed worth the effort. But then Cricut came out with a Hat Press, and in true Cricut fashion — it's sleek, simple, and super easy to use. Cricut Hat Press combines a patent-pending curved heat plate with a versatile hat pressing form for a seamless hat making experience. The pressing form fits a variety of adult-sized hats, like sun hats and ball caps, to provide a firm surface for curved materials. Cricut Hat Press comes with customizable heat settings by material and three presets, heating up to 400°F (205°C) to work with all major brands of iron-on (HTV), Infusible Ink, and sublimation products.

Check out the new Cricut Hat Press as I cover unboxing, setup, and SEVEN easy first projects!

what a great video! I love hats, so now I can make my own. I am a visual learner, so this was perfect!

Thank you for creating this video and using the star decal the box came with. For a newbie such as myself, it was key! Many other videos skip that and go straight into using their own designs after they have already cut it out and so on... However; since I am new to Cricut all together, I really wanted to use the star it came with to try and understand the process step by step. Thanks again for the tutorial as it made this feel much less intimidating!!!!

🌺 Thank you for the step by step instructions. You make it so easy to follow along. Great video for us visual learners. 🌺

I love this press. I am new to CRICUIT and just love, love, love the product and of course your videos Jennifer. I am a Navy veteran trying to get my life back after my return from Kuwait over 17 years ago. With money being tight and I can't always go out and buy gifts for my kids and grandkid I rely on Cricut to make unique gifts for everyone. I find Cricut a lot of me time, peace and quiet with my Cricut too. I really appreciate your videos and I try to make things for me family members and friends using my Cricut when possible. They love the one-of-a-kind gifts. Keep the great videos coming. I would love to have one of the new presses and the hat press too. They are so awesome!!! Thank you again Jennifer. Oh, by the way...the straw hat came out beautiful and we just had a new edition to the family and 2 more on the way and the elephant was a perfect idea. I think I may have to start making some of those next.

Jennifer, you did it again for me! I watched others review these new heat presses and I thought well 🤔 maybe…watching you…I’m going to buy this hat heat press. I wear hats all the time. Girl..you are a fabulous teacher. The kind voice is so easy to listen to..Thank you for motivating me to CREATE. So, shopping tomorrow.

Bought a hat press today and then realized I didn't know how to use it! This video helped make sense of the directions. And I didn't know Cricut had a template, so I will be able to figure out the correct size! Thank you so much for all your super helpful videos!

[jetbossard]

Besides being a great teacher, you are also an awesome Sales Person. Now I've just gotta get one.. Thanks!

[kathystreby]

Thank you for step by step, my grandson loves hats, great gift idea for him!!

[lollybaezcolon]

I love all your videos! The video in the Cricut Heat app shows how to place the hat. You were doing it another way which is much harder to adjust the hat and hold the form. Just wanted to share that with you. Thank you for all you do!

[acfinspection]

Love the way you take us through step by step, you speak clearly, very easy to follow and now I think I can do this. Thank you so much.

[vickiegraham]

Awesome step by step instructions, I can pause and do something and come back for the next step.

[cathywebb]

Jennifer, you give inspiration, knowledge and confidence!!! Thank you!!!

[BiblicalTalesAndTunes]

Wow I love your videos I can never sit through videos but this one was satisfying each hat turned out great & the elephant was super cute thank you for sharing

[pennystoffel]

Definitely putting this on my wish list!

[CinnamonDelight-xbpl]

Thank you for your step by step tutorial very clear. Thank you for side by side view of heat press and the app, very helpful.

[tashabach]

Thank you for this video. You are so good at explaining things. Definitely buying this. Can the hat press be used with any hat iron on patch purchased off ebay as well. Like infusable ink on burlap?? Most of those patches on multiple sites say use e6000 or sew on? Any suggestions? (Hope this Makes sense)

[jackieo]

Thank you for the simple video! I'm wondering what the purpose of moving the press back and forth?

[reginajohn]

Great tutorial! Thanks Jennifer and team❣ Wow, I love the Hat Press! 💛 It's incredible and I think it'll make a nice Mother's Day gift for me! 😁
