Write And Cut Hair Clip Cards With A Cricut

First, make the shape of the card by going to the shapes tool and selecting square unlock it so that we can change the proportion and size by clicking the unlock icon and then go up to the size. And let's make it two and a half by four inches: now we can change the color to white by going up to the color icon and selecting white okay. If you're going to do scrunchies, you can make little indentations here where the hair, scrunchie or clip or whatever it is, can attach and not slide up and down by going back to the shapes tool and selecting circle. Okay, let's change the size and position it on the card, duplicate it by positioning the cursor over the circle and right-clicking the mouse and selecting duplicate. If you're on a Mac, you can duplicate also by coming up here and clicking the duplicate button. Okay. So let's position this and let's to make it perfectly even let's Center this one and this one so click and drag to draw a marquee box that doesn't go around the big rectangular card, but just the circles and then go up to the align tool and select Center horizontally, okay, now, let's make another set of these to go on the other side. So let's group them by clicking the group button and duplicate them again by clicking duplicate or right-clicking the mouse and selecting duplicate and then we're gon na put these. On the other side now to select these and these because we want to make sure that they're even across hold down the shift key on the keyboard. While you click on one of the other circles, and now you can see that all of the circles are selected. But the rectangle is not okay, let's align it to the top of these items only by going to the align and selecting align top. Now, let's group these by clicking the group button and let's Center them, so that it's evenly positioned with the rectangle. So now, let's hold down the shift key on the keyboard and click on the rectangle and let's align it to Center by going to the align and selecting Center horizontally now, in order to slice this, these need to be one item and you can see over in The layers panel, but there's a bunch of circles, so let's select the circles and we only have to click on one because they're grouped, but we're going to weld them and make them one item. So click the weld tool. And now you can see we have a square and the circles: okay, select both the circles and the square or rectangle, and let's slice them by clicking the slice tool. Beautiful. Okay, now we're going to delete everything. We don't need there. Now you have a little space for your hair, scrunchies or whatever it is, and if it's a barrette, you could actually measure how much you need. Okay, so now to put the text on go ahead and get the text tool and type in what you would like it to say and of course I already did a little test. So I'm using a writing font here, let's resize it and position it and there's more room here. If you wanted to write like for coming or whatever ever okay now to change, the font, you'd want to come up to fonts and you'd want to filter it, because you only want to show the writing fonts. So you pick the right kind, so click the filter and select writing okay. So now you could scroll down and I try to find one that looks good and that the spacing is pretty even because some of them aren't so I'm gon na pick baby steps. Okay, once that's done, if you want to change the color of the pen to a different color, just to see what it looks like you can and then to keep this on the right position on the card. We'Re gon na select everything and select attach there you go and now you could just click the make it button and it'll write first and then cut out the card. Okay. I hope this helps and have fun with your project.
