Print Project

Step 1

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.
TIP: Delete, or hide in the preview screen, the translated design you do not wish to cut.

Step 2

Click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of your screen.

Step 3

In your preview screen, check ‘Mirror’ in the left panel for each mat, to reverse your image.

Step 4

Now, click ‘Continue’ in the bottom right corner of your screen and choose the correct material.
TIP First you will cut the paper banners and second the iron on glow material.

Step 5

Load the paper and cut the banners.

Step 6

Place the iron-on material, shiny-side down, onto your cutting mat. Load the mat into your Cricut® machine, then press the blinking Cricut® icon to start cutting.

Step 7

Once your machine is done cutting, use scissors to cut your design from the iron-on material roll. Next, use your weeder tool to remove all the excess material around and inside your design. You’ll be left with just the reversed design on the clear plastic carrier sheets, which are slightly sticky.

Step 8

Read directions on the package for ironing. You will iron the glow material to paper sticky side down.
TIP: Lay a piece of parchment paper over the transfer material as extra protection while ironing.

Step 9

After the banners are made lace ribbon through them.

Step 10

Finally, hot glue a decorative spider to each banner piece.
