Cricut: How to Personalise a Trolley for Craft Storage

Open Design Space and click “New Project”

Once in a new blank canvas click on “Shapes”

Select a square

To resize your square to a rectangle the size of the side of your trolley first click open the “Padlock” icon

In the size section alter your measurements to 14.5” x 3.25” (or 36.8 x 8.25 cm if you are working metric. You will not be cutting this rectangle. It is just as a visual aid for resizing of your required design

To find your image. Click “Images”

To find the images I have used search the Image numbers listed below. Remember you must use the # at the start of the image number and all letters should be upper case. Tape Image - #M78695C9, Scissors Image – #M8817355, Cricut Family - #M2111AD92

Once you have all your images on your canvas insert a circle from your basic shapes, line up your small image inside the circle, select both layers and then click “Slice”

From the Cricut Family image circles choose the one you want to use and contour out the parts of the design you do not want by clicking “Contour” and then selecting the pieces that you do not want to use

Resize your circle images to 2.3”. To apply your offset click “Offset” , adjust if necessary and click “Apply”

If you have sections of your Offset layer that you need to get rid of you can do this by using the “Contour” feature

To insert your text click “Text” and type your text

To change your font click on the arrow in the font section and select your font. I've used “DIN Next Stencil Heavy”

To apply your offset click “Offset”, adjust if necessary and click “Apply”

Now you are ready to “Make It”

Cut your designs in your required colours, weed and the use transfer tape to attach them together
