Autumn is almost here, so let's get cosy on the sofa at home. This self-made cushion cover fits perfectly! It's easy to make with the Cricut Maker 3 and the matching products. Learn how to do it in this tutorial.
To create the cushion cover
The following instructions refer to the application of a PC with Windows operating system. On mobile devices and other operating systems, the arrangement of the buttons may differ. The names remain the same.
1. Open the Cricut Design Space app. 2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner and go to "Workspace". You will now see the workspace on your screen. 3. Select any font and also the size of the font. You can adjust the font size at the top of the bar or drag the text box to make it bigger - hold down the "Ctrl" key to make the box bigger. 4. Select your text fields and click on "Mirror" - "Mirror horizontally" at the top of the bar. 5. Then click on "Create" at the top right and select the mat and mat length immediately afterwards. 6. Now finally arrange your fonts on the mat view. 7. Cut your iron-on foils to size and place them on the mat with the shiny side facing down. 8. Connect your plotter and insert the mat. 9. Click on "Continue". 10. Now follow the instructions of the plotter; feed in the mat and start the plotting process. 11. After plotting, remove the excess colour film so that only the lettering is visible on the transparent film. 12. Place them on your pillowcase and iron them on over medium heat. Let it cool briefly and carefully remove the foil. If necessary, you can iron the lettering again. Make sure you put a piece of fabric over it.
Napkin technique:
Remove the top, printed layer of the napkin. Cut out the motif and place it on the cushion cover. Carefully apply the napkin varnish for textiles with a soft brush. Start in the centre of the design and work towards the edges. Once the varnish is completely dry, you can iron the design. Important: place a cloth/ piece of fabric over it when ironing.
