Are you a fan of Louis Vuitton? Do you want to incorporate their iconic designs into your Cricut projects?
If you answered yes to both questions, then this article is for you! In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to get Louis Vuitton designs on your Cricut using a few simple steps.
First things first, before we dive into the tutorial, it’s important to note that using trademarked designs for commercial purposes without permission is illegal. So, if you’re planning on selling your projects that use Louis Vuitton designs, make sure you have the necessary rights and permissions.
Now, let’s get started!
Step 1: Find Louis Vuitton Designs
The first step in getting Louis Vuitton designs on your Cricut is finding them. There are many websites that offer free and paid LV designs that are compatible with Cricut software.
You can also create your own designs based on LV’s iconic patterns. For example, the classic ‘LV’ monogram can be easily recreated using a font that resembles it.
Step 2: Download and Save Design File
Once you’ve found the LV design that you want to use, download and save the file onto your computer. Make sure it’s in a format that’s compatible with Cricut software like SVG or PNG.
- If it’s an SVG file: Open Cricut Design Space and click on ‘New Project.’ Then click on ‘Upload’ and select the SVG file from your computer. Click ‘Save’ and drag the design onto the canvas.
- If it’s a PNG file: Open Cricut Design Space and click on ‘New Project.’
Then click on ‘Upload’ and select the PNG file from your computer. Use the wand tool to remove any background or unwanted areas.
Step 3: Customize and Resize Design
Once the LV design is on your Cricut canvas, you can customize it by changing the color, size, and orientation. You can also add text or other design elements to make it unique.
Pro Tip:
To maintain the quality of the LV pattern, avoid resizing it too much.
Step 4: Prepare Material and Cut Design
Before cutting the design, make sure your material is compatible with your Cricut machine. For example, if you’re using iron-on vinyl for a shirt, make sure to select ‘Iron-On’ as your material setting.
Once you’ve selected the appropriate material setting, load your material onto the Cricut cutting mat and insert it into the machine. Click ‘Make It’ and follow the prompts to cut your LV design.
Note:
Make sure to mirror your design before cutting if you’re using iron-on vinyl.
Step 5: Weed and Transfer Design
After cutting your LV design, weed away any excess material using a weeding tool. Then transfer it onto your desired surface using transfer tape.
And there you have it! With these steps, you can now incorporate Louis Vuitton designs into your Cricut projects. Just remember to always respect intellectual property rights when using trademarked designs for commercial purposes.
