How Do You Make Coasters With Cricut?

Making coasters with Cricut is a great way to add a unique and personal touch to your home or office. Whether you’re looking to make coasters for yourself, as a gift, or even just to decorate your space, Cricut has the tools you need to make beautiful and functional DIY coasters.

To get started, you’ll need a few basic supplies:

  • Cricut Maker – The Cricut Maker is the main tool that you’ll need to make your coasters. This machine can easily cut through materials like paper, vinyl, fabric, and more.
  • Cricut Design Space – This software is where you will design and upload your coaster designs.

    You can also purchase custom designs from the Cricut Design Space marketplace for an extra special look.

  • Coaster Materials – You’ll need some materials to make the actual coaster from such as cardstock or acrylic. You can also use vinyl or fabric if you want something more decorative.

Once you have all of your supplies ready, it’s time to start making your coasters! Begin by opening up Cricut Design Space on your computer and creating a new project.

From here, you can upload an image or design for your coaster or draw one yourself using the drawing tools in Design Space. Once your design is complete, it’s time to cut it out! Select “Make It” from the top menu bar and follow the on-screen instructions for cutting out your design with the Cricut Maker.

Assembling Your Coaster

Once your coaster shape has been cut out with the Cricut Maker, it’s time to assemble it. Start by placing a piece of adhesive-backed cardstock onto the back of your coaster shape (this will help keep everything together). Then place another piece of cardstock on top of this (without adhesive) and press down firmly so that everything sticks together nicely.

Finally, trim off any excess material so that all of your edges are even. Now you have one complete coaster! Repeat these steps until all of your coasters are complete.

Finishing Touches

If you want to add some extra flair to your coasters, there are plenty of ways to do so! Try adding some glitter or metallic paint for an extra sparkle effect.

Or use some fabric markers or paints to add color and pattern details – this is especially great if you used vinyl or fabric as part of your coaster design! Also consider adding protective sealant over top once everything is finished for added durability
