Scrunchie Valentines Using Cricut Print Then Cut

If you’re looking for a fun and creative Valentine’s Day project for kids, this one’s a hit! These adorable ballerina cards are made using Cricut’s Print Then Cut feature, and the best part? A colorful scrunchie gets added as the ballerina’s skirt, making the card both cute and useful. It’s the perfect mix of craft and gift, and kids will love helping put them together - or handing them out to friends!

Materials:

• Cardstock, white
• Home printer
• Fabric hair scrunchies, assorted pastel colors
• Cricut machine (any Print Then Cut compatible model)

Directions:

To get started, just click on the project link - it’ll open right up in Cricut Design Space and take you straight to everything you need. I’m using this adorable ballerina design (image #M448C8), which is included with my Cricut Access subscription, as the base for the card. Then I added a mix of fun fonts to write the phrase 'You are tutu sweet' - perfect for a Valentine’s Day vibe!

This is a Print Then Cut project, which means you’ll first print the design and then use your Cricut machine to cut it out. When you click 'Make It' in Cricut Design Space, just follow the on-screen prompts.

First, Design Space will prompt you to print the design on your home printer. For best results, use white cardstock and set your printer to its highest quality print setting.

Once it's printed, place the sheet on a Cricut cutting mat, aligning it with the top-left corner. Then load the mat into your Cricut machine. Design Space will walk you through the rest of the process, including selecting your material settings and starting the cut. The machine will read the black registration box around your design to ensure an accurate cut.

Once you've finished cutting out the card, take a colorful scrunchie and slip it over the girl on the card. Position the scrunchie so it sits like a skirt around her waist.

These ballerina Valentine cards are such a sweet way to add a handmade touch to your child’s Valentine’s Day. They’re easy to make, fun to personalize with different scrunchies, and sure to bring a smile to any young girl.
