How to make
You will also need two denim jackets.
Open the Cricut Design Space app and open a blank canvas, make the metric units is selected under Canvas Settings.
Measure the back piece of the denim jacket (between where the seams are) and just above the pocket on the front. Once you have these measurements create yourself a template in Design Space using the shapes tool. I created one size for Mrs and one for Mr. This is just an optional guide to help with your design.

Change the cut colour to White.
Click on Shapes and insert a Heart. Change this cut colour to Gold.
Resize the Heart and place centrally above the LOVE banner.
Click on Text and search for the font Dear John.
Type your two first names separately.
Change the cut colours of the names to White and place either side of the Gold Heart.

Duplicate the design.
You will now have your two back and two front designs.
Click Make It to take you to your mats. Depending on the size of your design, you should be able to fit all of the white pieces onto one mat, and all of the gold on another. To move one piece from one mat to another click on the three dots and select move object. Select the mat you want to move it to and then you can move it to fit.
Mirror the text and move the pieces around to avoid wastage. Follow the on-screen instructions to cut your iron-on.
Trim around each piece and weed the designs.
Place the first piece onto the denim jacket and press with your EasyPress2. The denim jackets I used were 100% cotton. For the Everyday Iron-On set your EasyPress2 temperature to 155oC and preheat the jacket for 5 seconds before applying the vinyl. Set the timer to 15 seconds and press lightly. Carefully flip and press again for another 15 seconds. Peel off the plastic when Warm. Keep the plastic pieces!
To apply the Glitter Iron-On over the top, place into place when still warm. Set your temperature to 165oC. Place the original piece of plastic from the White over the top of the design and press for 15 seconds, flip carefully and press for another 15 seconds. Peel away the plastic when warm.
Your wedding jackets are now complete and ready to wear!
