Making A Banner With Cricut Using Shapes In Cricut Design Space

The simplest method to make banners in the Cricut Design Space is via the use of shapes. So, if you want to make something easily and quickly, this is the technique to do so.

Following is the step-by-step guide to making banners using shapes:

Step 1: Add a triangle shape

You will find a shape button located on the left panel of the Design Space canvas and choose the triangle option.  

Step 2: Flip the triangle

Now right-click on the triangle you added to your canvas and click on the Flip Option.

Select the “flip vertical” option, which is located on the top of your Cricut Design Space canvas.

Step 3: Unlock The Segment And Resize

By default, the Cricut Design Space has all the segments locked. To change the settings, click on the triangle, and after that, click on the small lock button, which is located in the lower-left corner of the selection. After you have successfully unlocked the triangle, you can now resize it by moving the triangle with the help of the arrows located in the lower right corner of the selection.   

Step 4: Add Two Circles And Join Them

To make two small dumps where the twine will go through to hang the banner, you will need to make two similar small-sized circles.  After that, again, click on the shapes, then click on the circle option, and then modify the circle's size until it becomes very small. After that, select them and click on Ctrl+C, and after that, Ctrl + V. If you’re using a mac, replace the Ctrl command with CMD. 

Step 5: Slice

To complete the banner-making process, right-click on the triangle and weld the circles. After that, click on the slice tool positioned at the bottom of the Layers panel.

Step 6: Add A Font

Now finally, it is your time to add fonts to your banner. Click on the text icon which is located on the canvas, type any single letter, and position it on the top of the banner.    

Step 7: Finally, Copy and Paste the Banner

Now it is finally time to make the remaining pieces for your banner. To make the banner, right-click on the triangle and the letter, and then copy and paste the triangles until you have all the pieces you need.
