- How to Use Adhesive Backed PaperTo show how it works we're going to pair this sticky paper with regular cardstock to make fun set of party pennants!
- Open Cricut Design Space and navigate to the party pennant file.If you'd like, recolor the project. Here, two different shades of purple were used in the Cricut Design Space image to stand in for the patterned paper.Once you've got your file ready to go, hit Make It in the upper right. You'll be asked to choose a type of mat—both cardstock and adhesive-backed paper require a Cricut Mat, so choose On Mat.
- To fit the cardstock on the sheet, trim it down to stick to the mat and then use a rotary cutter and acrylic ruler to cut it straight down the edge of the mat surface.
- Choose Medium Cardstock as your material and Design Space will prompt you to insert your mat. Click Go and it will cut your pennants! Continue with the other pennant mats and the adhesive paper (place it grid-side down on the mat), making sure to change your material type before cutting the adhesive paper.Once you're done, simply pick up the adhesive-backed paper pieces and apply them to your pennants like a sticker!
- Then string together with ribbon, using the pre-cut holes in the pennants. Super easy! You can make a bunch of these paper pennants using all sorts of colors and patterns for any party you might have!
