Hey friends! I have a brand new free SVG design to share with you all today! Some of my designer friends and I are sharing a whole bunch of amazing mermaid designs today, so be sure to scroll to the end of the post to not miss a single splash or sparkle!
My “Salty” Mermaid cut file design is inspired by old school tattoos, which is one of my favorite styles, which you probably know if you have been around here for long. I have lots of freebies here on the blog in a similar style (like my Tattoo Mom Heart SVG or my Maker Tattoo Printables), plus I have a bunch of similar designs available in my cut file shop.
The “Make Waves” Mermaid is one of my faves that has a similar vibe:
Cute, right? Anyway! Wanna get that free Salty Mermaid cut file? I thought this new design would be kind of perfect on a tie dyed tee shirt. What do you think?
MAKE YOUR OWN SALTY MERMAID T-SHIRT
If you want to make your own t-shirt using this design, you will just need a few supplies.
SALTY MERMAID TEE SUPPLIES:
- Blank T-Shirt (I went with a tie dye tee)
- Easyweed HTV
- Weeding Hook
- Cricut, Silhouette, or other Electronic Cutting Machine
- Iron or Easy Press
- My Salty Mermaid Design (Download it from the link at the end of this post)
HOW TO MAKE YOUR MERMAID T-SHIRT
If you are new to working with iron on vinyl, be sure to check out my beginner’s guide to working with heat transfer vinyl right HERE.
- Start by opening up the cut file design in your cutting machine software. Scale the design to fit on your t-shirt. (Read more about how to perfectly scale and position heat transfer designs here.)
- Cut the design from your heat transfer vinyl, and don’t forget to mirror your design!
- Weed the excess vinyl from around your design. (I always recommend my favorite weeding hook for this!)
- Iron the design onto your t-shirt.
That’s it! You are ready to make a splash in that salty mermaid tee! 😆
