The New Year will be here before you know it! Making special New Year’s Eve tops for the occasion is a breeze with your Cricut machine and these free SVG files.
New Year’s Eve parties may not have the crazy ugly sweater tradition that you find at Christmas parties, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make special festive shirts to wear!
I had the idea to make this design and love how it turned out so much that I wanted to share it with you!
The best part is that this is one of those projects where your Cricut machine shines and makes the task quick and easy-breezy.
Use this free SVG file and your Cricut (or another cutting machine) to create your own fun New Year’s Eve tops.
Let’s dive in and get started!
How To Make New Year’s Eve Tops With Your Cricut
I love using my Cricut to make a huge variety of projects, but shirts are always a favorite because they’re simple and always so much fun!

New Year’s Eve Tops Craft Instructions
Making shirts with your cutting machine is a cinch! Just follow these simple step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Add Your SVG File To Your Cutting Machine Software
Download the SVG file to your computer, and then upload it to the software for your cutting machine. Check out how to do this for a Cricut machine.
Step 2: Cut Out Your Design
Then, mirror the design and cut from your iron-on material.
Pro Tip: Be sure to put the material shiny side down on your mat.
Step 3: Remove Excess Vinyl Pieces
You will then need to remove all excess vinyl, including the centers of all of your letters.
Step 4: Add The Vinyl Design To Your Shirt
Iron the vinyl to your shirt using the Cricut EasyPress or an iron.
Note: I prefer the EasyPress for my projects, but you can use an iron if you prefer. Check out my post comparing the EasyPress to a heat press if you need a little more information.
With that, your shirt is done! Enjoy your custom New Year’s Eve tops!
I did this particular design because it is so me y’all! Seriously, I can never make it to midnight on New Year’s Eve. Ha!
Custom New Year’s Eve Tops FAQs
I’m answering common questions readers ask. If you have a question and don’t see it answered below, please leave it in the comments!
Can you wash Cricut vinyl on fabric?
Yes, you can! However, I recommend waiting at least 24 hours after applying your iron-on vinyl to allow it to set. When you’re ready to wash, turn the garment inside out. Tumble dry on a low setting.
Will vinyl come off in the wash?
After one wash or a few washes? No, your shirt will look good as new. However, over time (say, 50+) washes, your vinyl may start wearing off. If you want your custom shirt to remain looking like-new for longer, consider handwashing your shirt and hanging it to try.
Can I make things other than New Year’s Eve tops with this vinyl design?
Definitely! You can use this SVG file to make all sorts of projects, from towels to mugs or champagne glasses and more.

Haha too cute, I love it! I want a Cricut, I had a silhouette but could hardly ever get it to cut. I don’t have a lot of patience which is horrible but I’d love to try my hand again.
Oh my gosh, how cute! This is definitely me. I can’t even start a movie around 8p because I’ll never make it all the way through! LOL
Thank you so much for sharing this. I can’t wait to make my own.
So cute! This shirt is perfect for me, I never make it to midnight! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday
