I was itching to make another project on my Cricut but was stumped! One day, I was making labels with my label maker for my storage room on IG Stories and my sis in law suggested I use my Cricut.
OH YEAH.
It would look so pretty. But I was a little nervous as I’m still not ‘fluent’ with Design Space. To be totally honest, I have been putting off projects because it seems difficult to use. But I told myself the more I play around with it, the more comfortable I’d be. So I decided to get started!
I’ve been meaning to make labels for my kitchen soap dispensers (dish soap and hand soap) for a long time (guests always ask which one is which!). This is what it used to look like:
And now:
The project is simple and great for beginners. If you made the ornaments I shared here, you’ll have no problems with this project.
MATERIALS
- Cricut Explore Air 2 or Maker
- soap dispenser of your choice, clean surface (similar ones, 2 pack dispenser here)
- permanent vinyl, white or permanent vinyl, black
- scissors
- sticky mat
- transfer tape
- weeder
Materials are also available on my Amazon Store:
- soap dispensers: similar to mine, round bottom with black dispenser, 2 pack glass)
- permanent vinyl, white or permanent vinyl, black
- transfer tape
- weeder
HOW TO
I recommend giving the video a watch if you are new to this as it is more informative and visual.
1/ Find a font you like. I have a Pinterest board with fonts. This is the font I used.
2/ Upload to Design Space and spell out for the labels.
3/ Arrange on mat on the computer.
4/ Attach vinyl to mat and load into Cricut.
5/ Click MAKE IT on Design Space and follow the prompts to start cutting.
6/ Weed out the negative space.
7/ Attach transfer tape to vinyl. Peel off with the vinyl.
8/ Line up and centre onto soap dispenser. Peel back transfer tape.
Watch the video for more tips!
Ooh! Love how they turned out!
