DIY Funny socks are a fun, easy Cricut project for beginners or for seasoned pros. These hilarious socks make great gifts, and you can personalize them however you want!
Slide your mirror option over so it turns green. If you forget this step your design will end up backwards on your socks!
When you go to select material, select SportFlex Iron-On. The SportFlex has a fantastic stretch to it, making it ideal for this project!
After selecting the material you are going to load your machine. Press vinyl shiny side DOWN on your mat.
Once the mat is in place push the flashing arrow button while gently guiding your mat onto the machine. Then press the lighted 'go' button telling your machine to cut.
After your design is cut weed out the excess vinyl so just your design is left on the plastic sheet.
Heat EasyPress to 305 degrees. Gently iron out socks so they are warm and pressed flat. Arrange design where you want it on the socks.
Firmly press your design onto your socks using the EasyPress. If using a protective sheet, press for 60 seconds. If you aren’t using a protective sheet press firmly for 30 seconds. Then flip socks over and press for 15 seconds from the back.
Peel plastic sheet off carefully starting from one corner.

Notes
After making a few of these, I found that the hardest part is starting the peel. Because of the small letter size and the texture of the sock, it helped SO much to rub the letters down before starting to peel. This is also called burnishing. You can use the little spatula tool, or even just your finger. Do this right after removing the EasyPress, then promptly peel off the plastic sheet.
