Making throw pillows with Cricut is a great way to add a custom touch to your home. The Cricut machine is an electronic cutter that can be used to cut fabric, vinyl, paper and other materials into precise shapes and sizes.
With the help of Cricut Design Space software, you can easily create custom designs and use them to decorate your throw pillows. Here’s how you can make throw pillows with Cricut.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you start, make sure you have all the supplies that you need for making your throw pillows. You will need fabric for the pillow cover, stuffing for the pillow, a Cricut machine, and some transfer tape.
Step 2: Prepare Your Design
Once you have all the supplies ready, it’s time to prepare your design. Use the Cricut Design Space software to create a custom design that you want on your pillow cover. You can also use pre-made designs from the Design Space library if you don’t have time to create something from scratch.
Step 3: Cut Out Your Fabric
Now that you have your design ready, it’s time to cut out the fabric. Place your fabric on top of a cutting mat and feed it into your Cricut machine. Make sure that the settings are correct before starting this step as incorrect settings may result in uneven cuts or inaccurate shapes.
Step 4: Transfer Your Design
Once the fabric is cut out, remove it from the mat and place it on a flat surface.
Use transfer tape to transfer the design onto the fabric. This will make sure that it stays in place when stitching together.
Step 5: Sew The Pillow Cover
Now that your design has been transferred onto the fabric, it’s time to sew together all four sides of the pillow cover. To do this, put right sides of two pieces of fabric together and sew along three sides using a sewing machine or needle and thread.
Step 6: Stuff The Pillow
Once all four sides are sewn together, turn it inside out so that right side of fabric is facing outwards. Now stuff the pillow with stuffing until it’s full but not too tight or too loose. Once filled up nicely with stuffing, hand-sew or use a sewing machine to close up remaining side of pillow cover.
