If you would prefer, you can mirror it if desired. Note: You would normally reverse the design when using heat transfer since you are cutting the design upside down but in this case, the design doesn't change enough to warrant flipping the design. Select glitter iron on from the materials list in Cricut Design Space then send the design to the machine to cut.

Load the mat into the Cricut Maker machine and install the fine point blade. Smooth the heat transfer material onto the cutting mat, shiny side down. It comes on a clear carrier sheet that helps you move the heat transfer from the carrier sheet to your project surface. Heat transfer is heat activated and sticks to your fabric when heat and pressure are applied. Next, we are going to cut the faces out of glitter iron on heat transfer material. No die cutting machine? No worries, print the pattern and pin to your fabric. Cut both colors then we can move onto the faces in the next step. You might have little connective pieces holding the cuts together since minky has a high amount of stretch, if this happens, use a pair of scissors to separate the pieces of the fabric. Once the Cricut cuts the minky, carefully peel the pieces off the cutting mat. You will need to unload the mat and trim the fabric and reload between cuts. Send the pattern to cut and cut the head pieces twice for each color and the tentacles once for each color. Load the rotary blade into the tool holder and select "Cotton fabric" from the materials list in Cricut Design Space. Smooth the first color minky onto the pink Cricut fabric mat and load it into the Cricut Maker machine. I sized my square to be 1 inch so the largest pieces of the design fit on the 1/4 yard of fabric. Upload both files into Design Space and make sure the red squares are the same size in both files.
I saved the pattern in two separate files, one has the face and head pieces and one has the tentacle pieces.
To start, upload the pattern into Cricut Design Space. I'm still finding fluff from this project. Be prepared to get fluff everywhere, no matter your cutting technique. Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in four colors).If you've never worked with minky fabric before, let me warn you in advance! Minky is to sewing what glitter is to paper crafting! Minky is a soft, stretchy fabric and it SHEDS like it's nobody's business when cut. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look.kind of ugly out in the open. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we’ve featured in a million BuzzFeed shopping posts is peak adulting. But now that I’m playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I’m trying to be *responsible*. It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was two-plus years ago. Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home (though I have several purse packs?!).
