Are you a fan of Louis Vuitton’s iconic monogram pattern? Do you own a Cricut machine and wondering how you can create this pattern on your own?
Well, look no further! In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of getting the Louis Vuitton pattern on your Cricut.
Materials Needed:
- Cricut machine
- Cricut cutting mat
- Permanent vinyl
- Weeding tool
- Transfer tape
- Louis Vuitton monogram image (downloaded from the internet)
- Computer with Cricut Design Space installed
Step One: Prepare Image in Cricut Design Space
Firstly, open Cricut Design Space on your computer and upload the Louis Vuitton monogram image. Once uploaded, resize the image according to the project you are working on. If you are unsure about the size, it’s better to make it bigger than smaller as you can always trim off any excess vinyl.
Step Two: Cut Out Image with Cricut Machine
Next, cut out the image using your Cricut machine. Make sure to select “vinyl” as your material and adjust the blade depth accordingly.
Place your permanent vinyl onto a cutting mat and load it into your machine. Then hit “Go” on your computer screen to start cutting.
Step Three: Weed Out Excess Vinyl
Once cut out, remove the vinyl from the cutting mat and use a weeding tool to carefully weed out all of the excess vinyl around and inside of each letter or symbol. Be patient during this step as accuracy is key for achieving the desired result.
Step Four: Transfer Your Design onto Desired Surface
Next, use transfer tape to transfer your design onto your desired surface. Carefully place the tape over the vinyl design and smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with a scraper tool. Then slowly peel off the backing paper from the vinyl, leaving only the design stuck on the transfer tape.
Step Five: Apply Your Design
Finally, place your design onto your desired surface and use a scraper tool to firmly apply it. Start at one end and work your way across while making sure there are no air bubbles trapped under the vinyl.
And there you have it! You can now create your very own Louis Vuitton pattern using your Cricut machine. Whether you want to add it to a t-shirt, tote bag or even a phone case, this technique will work on any smooth surface that can withstand heat application.
Pro-tip: If you are having trouble finding a high-quality Louis Vuitton monogram image, try searching for vector files as they tend to have better resolution when enlarged. Also, make sure to always double-check that you have downloaded a file with no copyright restrictions before using it for personal projects.
We hope this tutorial was helpful and has inspired you to get creative with your Cricut machine! Happy crafting!
