My boys are completely obsessed with WWE wrestling right now. While I can’t say I share the same enthusiasm, they absolutely live for it these days, thanks to their dad. At 11 and 14, they’ve officially entered that era where body slams and catchphrases reign supreme.
This year, I’m putting together “Boo Baskets” for each of them, fun little Halloween tradition with treats, jammies, and a few surprises. I wanted to include something special and personalized, and that’s when inspiration struck.
One of their favorite wrestlers right now is Jey Uso, whose catchphrase is the (totally silly but catchy) “YEET!” So for my 11-year-old, I decided to create a custom shirt that says:
👉 “Trick or YEET” 👈
It’s the perfect mix of Halloween and WWE fun and I love how it turned out!
Here’s What I Used:
- Glow-in-the-dark Iron-On Vinyl
- Black T-shirt
- Cricut Machine
- Standard Grip Cutting Mat
- Weeding Tool
- Cricut EasyPress
- Cricut EasyPress Mat
- Lint Roller
- Custom “Trick or Yeet” Design (SVG file)
How to Make Your Own “Trick or Yeet” Shirt:
- Download the Design
First, grab the SVG file for the “Trick or Yeet” design. - Upload to Cricut Design Space
Open Cricut Design Space and upload your SVG file. - Prepare Your Settings
- Set your Cricut machine to the “Iron-On” setting.
- Don’t forget to mirror your image before cutting, this is super important when using iron-on vinyl!
- Load and Cut
- Place your glow-in-the-dark vinyl shiny side down on the cutting mat.
- Load the mat and let the Cricut work its magic.
- Weed the Design
Use your weeding tool to carefully remove all the excess vinyl, leaving only your design behind. - Prep the Shirt
- Lay your black shirt on the Cricut EasyPress mat.
- Use a lint roller to remove any fuzz or dust.
- Preheat the shirt using your EasyPress to get rid of wrinkles and prep the fabric.
- Apply the Design
- Place your design onto the shirt, centered.
- Press with the EasyPress (refer to your vinyl’s instructions for temp & time).
- Use the built-in Cricut timer for even pressure.
- Peel and Reveal!
- Check your vinyl’s instructions to see whether you should peel the plastic carrier sheet while warm or cool.
- Carefully remove the backing and you’re done!
I’m seriously loving how this shirt came out, especially with the glow-in-the-dark vinyl! It’s going to look so cute paired with his Halloween pajamas. The “Trick or YEET” theme is such a fun nod to something he’s currently obsessed with, and I know it’ll make his Boo Basket even more exciting.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy Halloween Cricut project that your WWE-loving kid will go nuts for, this is it.
Happy Crafting & Happy Halloween!
