Ingredients
  

  • Family.Blessed.Home SVG file
  • Round wood circles 6” diameter
  • Cricut Joy
  • Permanent Smart Vinyl in Black and White
  • Weeder
  • Cricut Transfer Tape
  • Scissors
  • Chalky paint in white and charcoal we used Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Everlasting and Relic
  • Paintbrushes - medium flat and fine tip
  • Ruler

Instructions
 

Prepare Wood Circles

  • Paint one side of all the wood circles in Everlasting and leave it to dry fully.
  • Paint the reverse sides of all the wood circles in Relic and leave it to dry fully.
  • Add a small amount of Relic to Everlasting and mix for a light gray color. On the white painted sides of the circle, paint three evenly spaced lines using a ruler to keep the lines straight.

Uploading the SVG Pattern

  • Click on the Upload button from the toolbar to insert the lettered Family.Blessed.Home SVG file onto the canvas.
  • Maintain sizes at about 5.25” wide to fit within the 6” wood circles.
  • Highlight the word along with the leaf art together and select “attach” to join the separate images. Do this with the word “family” as well.
  • Adjust the color of the words along with the leaf art to white and maintain the other words in black to match Smart Vinyl material colors.

Cutting the Vinyl

  • Ensure the machine is set to Cricut Joy and select “Make It” in Design Space.
  • Choose “Without Mat” as the option for cutting when using Smart Vinyl.
  • Set material type to Smart Vinyl.
  • Follow prompts for loading the mat into the Cricut Joy and cutting the Smart Vinyl.

Applying the Vinyl to the Wood Circles

  • Using the weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl around the images and discard.
  • Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the word or image.
  • Peel away the transfer tape backing and place the transfer tape overtop of the cut image. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.
  • Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the wood. You can use a Cricut scraper tool or your finger nails for this.
  • Carefully and slowly peel away the transfer tape.
  • Repeat with the remaining vinyl images and wood circles.
