It’s easy to use your Cricut machine to add words to wood, and it opens up lots of possibilities for creative projects. Whether you’re making signs, wall art, ornaments, or anything else you can think of, adding words to wood with your Cricut is a simple process.
The first step is to select a font. The Cricut Design Space software has hundreds of fonts to choose from, so it’s easy to find one that suits your project.
You can also upload your own fonts if you have any special ones that you prefer.
Next, select the material that you’ll be using for the project. The Cricut Explore Air 2 machine can cut many different types of materials, including wood. You’ll need to adjust the settings on your machine so that it knows which type of material you’re working with and what speed and pressure it should use for cutting.
Once the settings are adjusted, you can start designing your project in Design Space. You can type in any words that you want and adjust the size and placement of them. Once everything looks the way you want it, it’s time to cut.
Cutting Words On Wood With A Cricut
Before cutting out the words on wood with your Cricut machine, make sure that the surface is clean and free from debris or dust. If necessary, use a soft cloth or brush to clean off any dirt or grime before beginning.
Next, load the mat into the machine and place your piece of wood on top of it.
Make sure that all sides are aligned correctly so that everything cuts out properly.
Now it’s time to hit ‘Go’! Your Cricut will begin cutting out all of the pieces according to your design in Design Space. Depending on what type of wood you’re using, this could take anywhere from a couple minutes up to an hour or more (depending on how intricate your design is).
Finishing Touches
After cutting out all of the pieces with your Cricut machine, it’s time for some finishing touches! If desired, paint or stain the pieces before assembling them together. Make sure that all edges are sanded down evenly so everything looks nice and smooth when put together.
Once everything is painted/stained and sanded down appropriately, simply assemble all pieces together according to your design in Design Space. Once done assembling all pieces together, admire your beautiful work!
