Makes 1 sign
What You Will Need
- Cricut Explore computer, and internet connection
- Gold metallic vinyl
- Vinyl transfer paper
- Wood sign look for this Walnut Hollow Basswood Country Plank for the same look
Instructions
- Download great cross stitch fonts right to your computer! I used Kingthings, which you can download here!
- After you have downloaded the cross stitch font, load it up into Cricut Design Space and choose your preferred size so that it will fill your board but not go over the sides.
- Choose whatever phrase you like!
- Then, cut the words from some gold metallic vinyl loaded into your Cricut.
- Remove everything except for those little Xs using some weeding tools (if you have them).
- Apply the vinyl transfer paper and remove the vinyl from the backing.
- Center on your wood plank and press down firmly. Then, SLOWLY remove the transfer paper to reveal your project.
- You will have a completed cross stitch wood sign in no time at all!
Notes
- This vinyl is some I had on hand, and I am unsure of the source...sorry!
- Just go slow and steady through each step and make sure you don't leave any of those precious Xs behind.
