One of my favorite ways to use my cricut is to make personalized presents or gifts for people. I love being able to add a pretty font or a cute image to things to add a new personalized touch. The best way for me to get clean lines is to have my cricut maker cut it out of vinyl.
Personally, I prefer to use Iron On vinyl. I can skip one step by not using transfer tape this way.
Materials you will need for this project.
- A set of travel notebooks
- An SVG. The one I purchased came from groveandhoneydesigns.etsy.com
- Iron on Vinyl
- Iron/ Cricut Mini Easy Press
If you are using an Ipad or your phone and you purchase a digital file from the Etsy app, you will need to download the file from a web browser. When you sign on you will go to your purchases and then click the download files button.
If you are using an Ipad, you will need to go to your files and unzip the files. After everything is unzipped, then you will be able to download the files onto cricut design space. Then once in design space, you will resize the image to the size you would want it.
Then weed the image and apply on the notebook. Use the second setting on the easy press mini and apply on top of the vinyl for 15 seconds. Let the notebook cool then peel the backing off slowly. If the vinyl hasn’t completely come off then use the easy press on it for a few more seconds. Then its done and ready to gift!
