• Connect the Cricut Explore to a computer and log on to your Design Space account. Select ‘Home Decor’ from the categories menu and locate the ‘Flower Towel’ project.
• The project will create three separate embellishments. To create the project as designed, click ‘Make it Now’. To resize the project or change the images, click ‘Customise’.
• Resize the images as required by first highlighting the picture and then dragging the corner point. The size appears in a black text box as the image is altered.
• Cut the image from iron-on vinyl, placing the plastic backing on to the mat. REMEMBER: If you're cutting text, make sure to check the ‘Mirror image’ button in the mat preview screen.
• Carefully remove the part of the iron-on vinyl not required, leaving the flower image on the backing sheet. Iron the image onto the towel by following the instructions on the iron-on vinyl packaging.
TOP TIP: Personalise the towel further by adding the name of the recipient using one of the Cricut fonts
