Keeping your EasyPress dust free is simple with this tutorial that will only take you about an hour and doesn’t require much fabric at all.
First and foremost, if you don’t know what an EasyPress is, it’s basically a DIY game changer. I use it for all of my iron on projects and it makes it SO much more simple than using an iron and ironing board. So if you don’t have one, first step is to get it!
I opted to use the prepackaged fabric that Cricut sells that comes in 12″x26″ pieces. If you are using fabric you already have, you only need about 1/2 a yard for this simple project.
What you Need for your Easy Press Cover
- Fabric
- Serger/sewing machine (If you’re in the market for a sewing machine I put together this little comparison for you here!)
- EasyPress
- Rotary cutter
- Cutting Mat
First I started by cutting my fabric. You will need 1 11″x11″ piece and 4 11″x7″ pieces. I mixed up the colors for a little bit of fun or you can just use one piece for the entire project.
Next you will sew your 11″x7″ to one of the 11″x11″ sides. Make sure you keep the right sides together!
Continue sewing each 11″x7″ piece to the 11″x11″ piece until it looks like the below picture.
Then you will sew together the 7″ sides to each other to complete the cube.
After I did this I also decided to serge the bottom of the cover for a cleaner look. If you don’t have a serger you can always just iron it up 1/4″ and sew a straight stitch.
That is it! Can you believe how simple that is?! If you wanted to make it more detailed and ornate you totally could but I personally loved the simplicity of this design.
You can see a little sneak peak in the back there of the cover I made for my Cricut Maker as well! Stay tuned and follow along with my Instagram to see that tutorial.

Yay, so simple to make it and it is lovely too. I am thinking about using this idea to cover something in my house too. Thanks a lot!
