I know that people normally buy Christmas PJs and Christmas dresses, but what about holiday play dates and days at the park during Christmas break? You can make Christmas Shirts for Family so that you can match during the holiday season.
Before I got my Cricut, I used to buy custom shirts from my friend. Now that I have my own Cricut, I love making custom shirts for every holiday and event. It is super easy to customize designs and color in Cricut Design Space.
Christmas Shirts For Family
This original design had brown for Rudolf, but I don’t have brown vinyl nor am I interested in putting brown vinyl on my shirts. Instead I changed the colors to fit what I had on hand. I think the colors look fantastic together.
Measure Shirt First
Take the shirt and measure the space to determine how large you want the words to be. I always keep a small measuring tape in my Cricut.

There are some of the awesome pre-made Christmas designs that go great on holiday shirts. Actually, there are ton of free one too. Size the Cricut Design based on the measurements you took of the shirts . You can merge or change the colors of the Design using color sync on the right side of Cricut Design Space. Now, hit MAKE it in green in the upper right corner.
