I have a love hate relationship with with glitter iron on. My sweet niece simply has a love relationship with it…she cannot get enough of it. Truly, the more glitter the better in her mind. So of course, when I asked her what Iron On she wanted in her Valentine’s Day shirt, she happily picked out gold glitter. I may have muttered under my breath, until I remembered my BrightPad™!! This DIY Valentine’s Day Shirt with Cricut BrightPad™ couldn’t be more adorable or easier to make.

Cricut’s BrightPad™ has been a total glitter iron on game changer!
