Making a Cricut pillow is a great way to customize a pillow to fit your style. With the help of Cricut Design Space, you can create beautiful designs and add them to any pillow. The possibilities are endless!
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
To start, gather up all of the materials that you will need: a pillow form, fabric of your choice, iron-on vinyl in the colors of your choice, transfer tape, and scissors.
Step 2: Create Your Design
Now it’s time to use Cricut Design Space and create your design. You can use any images or text that you want for your design. Once you’ve finished creating your design, be sure to size it correctly for the size of your pillow form.
Step 3: Cut Out Your Design
Put your iron-on vinyl onto the cutting mat with the shiny side down and load it into your Cricut machine. Select “Iron-On Vinyl” as the material type on the touchscreen and press “Go” to start cutting out your design.
Step 4: Weed Your Design
Once your design is done cutting, you need to weed out any extra pieces of vinyl that are not part of the final design. To do this use weeding tools such as tweezers or a hook tool to carefully remove any extra pieces from around the edges of your design.
Step 5:
Apply Transfer Tape & Iron On Design
Once all of the extra pieces have been removed from around your design, it’s time to apply transfer tape on top of it. This will help keep all of the pieces in place while you are transferring them onto fabric or another surface. Then carefully iron on your design onto the front side of one piece of fabric for the pillow cover.
Step 6: Sew The Pillow Cover Together
After applying and ironing on the design onto one piece of fabric for the pillow cover, place both pieces right sides together and sew around three edges with a sewing machine or by hand using blanket stitch or other type of stitch that works best with fabrics used.
Step 7: Insert Pillow Form & Sew Last Edge Together
Insert pillow form into one side of sewn together fabric and then sew up last edge using sewing machine or by hand using same stitch used in step 6.
And there you have it! You now have an awesome personalized Cricut pillow! You can make more pillows in different colors and styles for yourself or as gifts for family and friends.
