Cricut: How to Make a Kids' Game with Iron-On Vinyl
Recreate a playground classic with a twist by creating this super-simple game that can be played inside or out! Simply lay out the numbered squares and throw your marker of choice and see who can get the highest score.
This project is perfect for beginners in that you will become familiar with some of the key features of Cricut Design Space and can replicate this project without a Cricut Access subscription.
Using only Design Space’s free features, this project is ideal for a rainy day and will be ready in no time – hopefully by the time the sun has come out!

You Will Also Need:
* Computer or tablet with Cricut Design Space (no subscription needed for this exact design)
* Fabric- your choice of either one solid piece or individual squares cut to 12" If cutting to individual pieces you can sew the edges or use Heatnbond fusible tape.
Duplicate this frame so you have 10 in total. You may wish to zoom out at this point so you can view your whole project together whilst not affecting the project’s dimensions.
Select text and type ‘1’. Resize this to be 6” tall (the width of the numbers will automatically change and will vary by number).
With both still selected, select ‘attach’ from the bottom right corner of Design Space.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have squares for the numbers 1-10.
Change the colour of each square to reflect the colour of iron on you would like to use. Follow the steps on your screen to make your project.
Ensure you click ‘mirror’ for each mat and apply your iron on to your mat shiny side down.
Once each mat has cut, weed away the negative space using your Cricut tools.
You are now ready to iron your vinyl to your base.
Arrange your pieces on your fabric. You may wish to use heatproof tape to hold them in place.
Using your heat press or a hot dry iron, apply medium pressure to each part of the iron on for 30 seconds at a time.
Remove the backing plastic from each square once it has cooled.
Top tip: if using an iron, you may need to use an old tea towel on top of your iron on.
