“Talk Less, Smile More.” It may be a quote from one of my favorite musicals, Hamilton, but it’s a quote we can all learn from. Whether traveling and being immersed in a new culture or simply being in a new situation for the first time, you can always learn a lot by listening and taking it all in.

This DIY Talk Less Smile More Shirt is an easy DIY Cricut iron-on shirt craft I created for a recent interview opportunity I had with the incredible Lin-Manuel Miranda. This project is about 15 minutes from start to finish.

DIY Talk Less Smile More Shirt
Directions
- Create your text in the Cricut Design Space.
- Use the letter spacing to adjust the space of the letters (kerning in graphic design) to bring the letters closer together to eliminate the gap for scripted fonts like the Sugar Plum font I used for “smile more.”
- Place Cricut Iron On Vinyl Lite onto Cricut Cutting Mat.
- Once your design is finished and ready to cut, load the Cutting Mat into Cricut Explore Air as directed by machine.
- Send design to Cricut Explore Air and watch it cut.
- Remove excess vinyl from backing using the weeder for fine lettering detail.
- Apply Cricut Iron On Lite Vinyl following directions on packaging.

Any chance you could share/sell the artwork? Just saw Hamilton with my daughter and would love to send her the shirt!!!
Let me see if I can figure out how to export it! Can you email me at jana@merlotmommy.com?

Hi! I would love to make this shirt! My husband and I just saw Hamilton and we loved it!! I was wondering if I could purchase the svg file from you.
Thanks!
So I made this in design space. I believe there is a way I can share it. I will see how to make this happen when I get home from my trip this week!
can you send me the svg file for talk less smile more. I love it heyjudemiller@gmail.com
so the text is just from the Cricut Design space but I should have the Hamilton star as an SVG if you’d like that? Let me know and I can email it!
