Cricut Label 1: How To Make Paper Labels
One of the easiest labels to make is paper labels. Just draw on paper with the Cricut pens and your Cricut, and you can label a wide variety of things around your home. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do just that.
Supplies Needed To Make Paper Labels
Step 1: Draw A Rectangle In Cricut Design Space
Draw a rectangle in Cricut Design Space. Be sure to make this the size you need for your project.
Step 2: Type Text
Pick a writing font and type out your text. Be sure the line type is ‘Draw'.
Step 3: Attach Text & Rectangle
Center the text on the rectangle, then click the ‘Attach' button to attach the text to the shape.
Step 4: Cut & Draw Labels
Cut and draw your labels using your Cricut machine. Then simply add them to your organizer.
I added these labels to a lazy Susan organizer from Michaels, but you can do so much with paper labels around your home!
Cricut Label 2: How To Cut Vinyl Labels
Vinyl is another great option for creating Cricut labels for your home. There are many ways to do that, but I thought I would share just one with you as an example. I am using this technique to make an organizer for my scraps.
Supplies Needed To Make Cut Vinyl Labels
Step 1: Draw A Rectangle In Cricut Design Space
Draw a rectangle the size of your drawers in Cricut Design Space.
Step 2: Type Text
Type text in any font you prefer, then center it over the rectangle.
Step 3: Click Slice
Select both the box and the text, and then click Slice.
Step 4: Cut Vinyl Labels
Then cut the vinyl with your Cricut machine.
Step 5: Weed Labels
Weed away all of the excess, then apply it to your surface using transfer tape.
This method involves cutting out the word from a vinyl box, allowing the rainbow colors on the drawers to show through. You can also just cut the word from vinyl and apply it instead. Either way, you will love making vinyl labels with your Cricut. You can even make some for your pantry!
Cricut Label 3: How To Make Printable Vinyl Labels
If you have a Cricut Explore or Maker, you will love the Print Then Cut function for making labels. I like to use printable adhesive vinyl for these.
Supplies Needed to Make Printable Vinyl Labels
Step 1: Draw A Rectangle In Cricut Design Space
Create a box in Cricut Design Space of any size you need. Then, choose any color you like to match your home's decor.
Step 2: Type Text
Type out the words you want on your labels in any font.
Step 3: Center Words
Center the words over the rectangle.
Step 4: Click Flatten
Choose both objects and click Flatten to make the label a print then cut. Repeat this process for as many labels as needed.
Step 5: Print & Cut
Print when prompted in Cricut Design Space, then add to your machine for cutting. Peel and stick the labels once complete to any surface.
I love that with print then cut, I can make these labels in any color that I like. Plus, the printable vinyl is so easy to work with. This may be my favorite way to make Cricut labels for any room in my home!
