I jump at any opportunity to wear matching outfits. I LOVE dressing up for Halloween and always loved a good themed party in college. Now, my dog is just about the only one I can get to coordinate with me! When I learned about the new Cricut Hat Press I knew I had to make something to match with my furry friend.
At first I planned to create a doggie bandana to match my customized hat, but found out they make DOG HATS! Did you know you can buy a dog hat!? I used the Cricut Hat press to create the CUTEST “dog person” and “person dog” hats for Barkley and me!
Make custom hats for you and your doggie BFF without the guesswork or googling for instructions by connecting the Cricut Hat Press via bluetooth to the Cricut Heat App!

I love that Cricut continues to innovate and create the perfect tools for any project. The Cricut Hat Press enables you to create custom hats quickly and easily with it’s curved heat plate and hat pressing form.
The hat pressing form is a game changer as it fits in and creates the perfect firm backing to press on. The curved heat plate ensures a clean press every time by evenly distributing the heat AND wrapping around your project to ensure you can press every part of the design.
I hope this project inspires you to add the Cricut Hat Press to your arsenal of crafting tools!
