Designing in Cricut Design Space
Start by opening Cricut Design Space on your computer or mobile device. Here you can create or upload a design. If you're looking for inspiration, there are plenty of SVG designs available online. (Check out some customizable designs here.) Once you have your design, size it to fit your chosen item and ensure that it’s mirrored if you’re working with heat transfer vinyl.
Cutting Your Design
Attach the Glitter Printable Reflective Vinyl to your cutting mat, making sure it's secure to prevent any movement during cutting. Select the vinyl setting on your Cricut machine and load your mat. Hit the 'Go' button, and let the machine work its magic.
Weeding Your Design
Once the cutting is complete, carefully remove the excess vinyl using a weeding tool. Be patient to avoid damaging intricate parts of your design. This step might take some time, but it's essential for achieving a clean, polished outcome.
Transferring Your Design
Using transfer tape, cover your weeded design and smooth out any bubbles. Gently peel the vinyl backing away, ensuring the design sticks to the transfer tape. Place the vinyl onto your chosen item, then apply pressure to adhere it properly. Finally, remove the transfer tape to reveal your finished product.
