Directions:
Select a coloring page design from your Cricut Access subscription and add it to your canvas. Add a name or other personalized text to the canvas using a cutting font if desired.
Alternatively, you can download a free coloring page from the internet to your computer. Many of these free coloring pages come in PDF format. If that’s the case, you can use a free online PDF-to-image converter to change the PDF into a format compatible with Cricut Design Space. Once you’ve converted the file, upload it to Design Space and follow the on-screen prompts. During the upload process, use the selection tool to erase any unwanted white space from the coloring page.
Make the project, cutting the coloring page design from black iron-on.
Use your favorite weeding tools to carefully remove the excess iron-on vinyl from your design. For a more enjoyable and efficient weeding experience, try using a Cricut BrightPad or Cricut BrightPad Go. Its bright, even illumination highlights tiny details and intricate cuts, making it easier to see and peel away the extra vinyl without straining your eyes. It’s like having an extra set of eyes that brings every detail into focus, allowing you to achieve a clean, precise finish with less effort and frustration. Plus, using it adds a bit of fun to the process and helps make the whole task smoother!
Apply the iron-on transfer to a pre-stretched painting canvas using your Cricut Heat Press Machine. Refer to the step-by-step instructions provided in the Cricut Heat Guide. This guide will offer tailored instructions specific to your model of heat press machine, ensuring you achieve the best results for your project.
Remove the carrier sheet when cool.
Et viola! Using Cricut iron-on to create outlines on a canvas is a fantastic way to make painting enjoyable and accessible for kids. Add a kids acrylic paint set and brush for a thoughtful and personal gift. Whether you’re looking to spend quality time with your little ones or create a memorable present, this project is sure to deliver smiles and satisfaction all around. Happy crafting!
