Instructions

  • Start by opening a blank Canvas in Design Space. Go to Images in the left Design Panel and search for "tooth." You can can also search for the file we're using by typing in #M22992CA. It's the center tooth in this screenshot:

  • Then, in the Layers Panel, click on the face and white tooth layers and delete them, leaving you with the gray piece. We will cut the tooth in white iron-on vinyl, but using the gray layer makes it easier to see what we're doing.

  • Then, using the text tool in the Design Panel, type the child's name.

  • Then we want to change this to a Cricut font that has an outline. To do this, go to the font dropdown menu and on the right side, click "Filter" and select "Multi-Layer."

  • This will narrow your choices down to just fonts that have more than one layer. Then choose one you like! I chose Alphalicious Short Stack for Piper and Cherry Limeade for Miles. Change the letter spacing if you feel the letters are too far apart. Then copy and paste a second copy of the name.

  • In the Layers Panel, make visible the outline layer by clicking the "eye" icon.

  • Then delete the gray letters, leaving you with an outline of the letters.
    Then move the other name you copied earlier on top of the tooth to make sure it all fits together. Change the colors of the tooth and name, if you'd like, to visualize what your final project will look like. Voila! You're ready to cut!
