The templates in Cricut Design Space make it so easy to properly size your projects! Figure out the right dimensions for clothes, mugs and tumblers, and all sorts of other materials!
Hey Cricut friends! Just a quick heads up that I have a really helpful tutorial about using templates in Cricut Design Space over on the Cricut Inspiration blog this week! If you’ve ever struggled with sizing iron-on t-shirt transfers, tumbler decals, or other designs, this post shows you how to use Cricut’s amazing library of templates. Head on over and check it out!

Are the templates available on iPad?

Unfortunately, Templates are not available in the Design Space and Cricut Basics Apps at this time. :(

I normally love using Templates in Design Space, but since the update on 1-8-2019, I cannot change their color anymore. It shows a place that says “color” in the edit bar but no swatch comes up to let me change it. I’ve also checked in the Layers Panel and it’s not there either. I know it should be, but it just isn’t. Line/Fill etc, I can change colors for, but not in Templates…frustrating. Does anyone have any tips to help me fix this? Thanks

This is definitely a little more tricky now that Cricut has reorganized some of the features on the Canvas board – it took me a second to figure it out :)
You can still choose your template from the menu bar on the left side of the screen. Once you choose a template and it shows up on your canvas, make sure you have the template chosen at the bottom of your layers panel on the lower right corner. From there, you can choose a color by clicking on the white swatch next to the word ‘Color’ on the menu bar on the top of the screen.
Happy Crafting!!

Is there a way to save a design on a template? Something like a mock up-I’m making a shirt for some friends and I want to be able to send them a vinyl size/color accurate image. Thanks!

The best way I have found to send proofs is by laying it out exactly on the Canvas in Design Space, then taking a screenshot (screen capture) and using that as the proof.
You are able to save your project as is (including the template), so you can come back and make any design changes if needed.
Happy Crafting!
