How to Make a Monogram in Cricut Design Space
- Download your favorite monogram font. You can find awesome ones on my 30 FREE Monogram Fonts post!
- Open Cricut Design Space to a blank canvas.
- Type your first name initial using the Text Tool.
- With the initial text selected, choose your font (Monogram) from the font drop-down located in the text layer panel. I like to size this first initial at 1.25 inches.
- While that initial is selected, click Duplicate in the Layers Panel and change the text to the middle initial letter.
- Repeat Step 5 for the LAST initial and change the size to 1.75 inches.
- For alignment, I like to start by selecting all three initials and aligning the vertical centers of the letters. From there I can use my mouse or my arrow keys to adjust as needed.
- Next, we want our machine to cut this design as one solid piece, not cut each piece separately so we will weld them all together so we get a solid design. Select all three initials and choose the WELD tool in the bottom of the Layers Panel.
- Make it! Cut your finished design! If you think you will use this again, don’t forget you can SAVE it in your projects in Cricut Design Space.
NOTE: If using Iron-on, don’t forget to MIRROR your design!
