I got my first Cricut Explore Air 2 last fall and I am completely HOOKED on creating with this thing! I’ve been tackling projects left and right, and it has been so easy and SO FUN! One of the things I love MOST about creating with my Cricut is the library of fonts and designs that Cricut makes available for creators. Here are a few projects I’ve made with my favorite Cricut supplies – Pajama Party Invites, 30-Minute Felt Banner, and Holiday Luminaries. All opinions are 100% mine.ĭiscovering all the BEST fonts and designs inside Cricut Access, with 5 vinyl projects you can make with the kids! Once you are finished use a deep cutting mat and blade to carefully neaten up all the edges.This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. Which meant it never stuck together, this will become your template to start the table off. I found it easier to peel the vinyl directly backwards, rather than upwards. Now carefully peel of the outside from one of the sheets. Start by cleaning and drying the table top to ensure there is no dust, residue or finger prints. Although if the table is going to be well used a protective layer will stop staining or damage.Ī layer of clear varnish, a large sheet of clear vinyl, pva glue or resin with finish off the table and protect it from spillages and stains. If you are using permanent vinyl you will not need to add a protective layer. Finishing Off The Table Once You Have Completed Your Upcycle With Cricut Vinyl Once you are finished use a deep cutting mat and blade to carefully neaten up all the edges. Also using the smaller triangles in the pattern to fill in any gaps, whilst still keep in the guide gap. Keep going until the whole table is finished. You can either make this part of the pattern or neaten them up when you have finished. It’s like doing a jigsaw but making up your own rules as you go along.ĭon’t worry if your triangles go over the edges. My advice is make a cuppa and put some music on and chill. You want to keep building up your pattern, but also keep the pattern quite random yet still with equal spaces between.Ĭreating the vinyl top on your upcycle table sounds quite complicated but its really isn’t. This enables you keep the spaces between each triangle the same. I found cutting into strips worked as I could build my pattern visually using the pattern I already had a guide.Įvery time you place a new triangle, mask around it just like below. Once you have filled the area within the template you can remove and either place elsewhere on the table or cut into strips to use as guides. Now you can start to build up your pattern using the template, I had no strategy for colour placement and did it by eye. Remove any unwanted edges and place the template onto the table, this work better with removable vinyl.
There was slightly more wastage than there would have been if I have sliced every triangle separately, but cutting this way also meant the outline of the cut created a template, which made the process so much easier.Ĭut each vinyl sheet the same size in all of you chosen colours. However I decided this would take too long, so simply cut the same pattern out 4 times in 4 separate colours which worked well. Initially I planed the size it correctly, slice every triangle and cut as a planned design with all colours in a plan. I found a pattern I liked, but the surface area of my table was bigger than the size of my cutting mat (12×12) and I also wanted use a mixture of colours. Then in Cricut Design Space look for a geometric pattern to fit your desired style.
