Pretty Soap Dispenser Labels with the Cricut

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:

The project is simple and great for beginners. If you made the ornaments I shared here, you’ll have no problems with this project.

HOW TO

I recommend giving the video a watch if you are new to this as it is more informative and visual.

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.
