What you’ll learn

We’ll go over the basics of the Cricut Design Space software, including setting it up and making your first design. We’ll go over the different commands, loading your own files, materials to use, and basics for cutting and weeding. You should leave with a few vinyl stickers, and the knowledge to start experimenting with a Cricut cutter!

Materials

If you have a Cricut of your own, bring it along! Otherwise, it’s helpful to bring your laptop or a tablet, loaded with Cricut’s Design Space software. We’ll have some removable and permanent vinyl for stickers.
