How to make
Open the 'Shapes' menu and insert a circle, re-size to match the acrylic part of the sign. Open the 'Text' menu, type your chosen phrase, then select your desired font, we used 'Lana Jane'.
Click on 'Advanced' and 'Ungroup to Letters'.
Next you will want to unlock each letter to be able to manipulate them. Drag to a size that will look right. Then, manipulate and move the letters so that they will join up nicely.
Once you are happy 'Weld' the letters together. Re-size to fit the space.
Click on 'Text' again, this time type the world 'table'. Repeat steps three and four for this word.
Once you are happy, place in the centre of the circle.
Click on 'Images' and search for a Flourish. We have selected the purple one.
Insert onto your canvas.
Place the flourish under the table number, attach to the number and change the colours to suit your vinyls.
We have gone for white and textured platinum adhesive vinyl.
Hide the circle shape.
Click on 'Make It' and follow the on-screen instructions to cut.
Once cut, carefully weed away the negatives for your table number.
Using Transfer Tape, apply the vinyls to the acrylic sign.
Use the Cricut scraper tool to apply this.
Remove the Transfer Tape and then you can repeat for all your table numbers.
