Making custom stickers with a Cricut cutting machine is a great way to show off your creativity. Vinyl stickers are a popular and durable choice for labeling items, creating signage, and decorating surfaces.
With the help of the Cricut machine, it’s easy to create any design imaginable. Plus, you can make multiple copies in different sizes and colors for added customization.
To make Cricut vinyl stickers with different colors, you will need to gather the necessary materials. A Cricut cutting machine, vinyl color sheets or rolls, transfer paper (or tape), scissors or craft knife and some sort of backing material like cardstock are all essential supplies. You’ll also need to have access to a computer, printer (to print out your design) and an iron if you plan on using transfer paper.
Creating the design is the first step in making vinyl stickers with your Cricut machine. Using either Cricut Design Space software or another computer program (like Adobe Illustrator) create your desired design using shapes, fonts, images etc. Once you have everything just how you want it save the file as a .svg format so that it can be uploaded into your Cricut Design Space software.
Next, upload your .svg file into Cricut Design Space software and select “Make It”. Now you will be able to adjust the settings so that it knows what kind of material you are cutting and what size you want your sticker(s) to be. Once these adjustments have been made click “Go” and prepare for cutting!
Before cutting it is important to check that all settings are correct so that there are no errors in the cuts. With multiple colors involved it is especially important to double-check that both colors are set correctly before proceeding.
Cutting Your Stickers:
Lay out your vinyl sheets or rolls onto your mat making sure that each color is secure on its designated side of the mat. If using transfer paper or tape lay this on top at this time too. Load mat into machine then press “Go”.
Weeding:
Once all of your pieces have been cut they will need to be weeded which means removing any excess vinyl around each piece of your design so only the actual sticker remains. This process can take some time but is essential in order for the stickers to look their best.
Transferring:
If using transfer paper place this on top of each piece of weeded vinyl making sure it is aligned properly then press down firmly using an iron or other heat source like a laminator. Peel away transfer paper from each piece carefully making sure that none of the pieces come up with it!
Applying:
The last step in making these colorful custom stickers is applying them onto whatever surface they will be displayed on! Using something like glue dots or spray adhesive attach each piece onto its designated spot then press down firmly until secure.
