How To Make The Cricut Shadow Box Step-By-Step
Alright, now it’s time to make your Cricut shadow box.
Firstly, upload the file to your chosen design software. I used Cricut Design Space for this project.
Secondly, in your design program, resize the design to fit the dimensions of your box.
Some boxes may be different sizes, so this step is crucial to ensure the design fits.
Mirror the vinyl words.
Adust the cutting mats so the materials will fit.
Once the design is ready, cut all the materials using your cutting machine.
Next, weed out the design by removing excess card stock and vinyl.
Assemble the shadow box layers using your paper and foam the way it instructs you to do on the screen.
Then, add the vinyl letters to the inside of the box.
Lastly, reassemble the box.
And that’s it! Now, you can show your winter shadow box in your home alongside your other decor.
Or, you can give this as a gift instead to a friend or family member.
