Then, as we have done before, select everything and click ‘align’ and click ‘center horizontally’ and then ‘center vertically’. Make a new text box and write the name you would like to appear in your design.Ĭhange the font (and color) if you would like, or keep it the same as the letter, like I have. Move all the excess pieces away from the middle of the letter. The middle of the fatter rectangle will then be sliced away. Without moving anything, click ‘select all’, and then click ‘slice’ – also found down the bottom right of the Canvas. The letter and the larger rectangle are now welded together into one image, and should look like the screenshot below. Select the first (fatter and shorter) rectangle, hold down ‘ctrl’, select your letter, and click ‘weld’ (found down the bottom right of the Canvas). Weld The Letter & Fatter Rectangle Together You might have to unlock the triangle again in order to re-size it.Īfter this, select all again and re-align the new rectangle both horizontally and vertically, as we did above.Ĥ. Make this second rectangle also skinnier than the first one, so that a strip of the first rectangle shows up above and below the second. Make this second rectangle slightly longer on each end than the first (so that you will be able to easily differentiate the two).
You do this by selecting the first rectangle and then clicking duplicate, which is found underneath the ‘Make It’ button on the right of the canvas. Click the ‘align’ tab at the top of the canvas, and then choose ‘center horizontally’, and ‘center vertically’.ĭuplicate the first rectangle so that you have two. Next, select the rectangle, hold down ‘ctrl’, and select the letter (or just click select all). Make the rectangle as long as you like, depending on how you would like your design to look, and your particular letter of the alphabet. Then using the green arrows in the bottom right corner you can make it whatever size you need. Use the shape tool (found on the left hand menu) to make a square.Ĭhange the square to a rectangle by clicking the lock symbol in the bottom left corner of the square and unlocking it. It needs to be the right size for what you are putting it onto, whether that be a t-shirt, a mug, or a bag. I changed my letter to 5 inches wide by typing 5 in the width box. For my monogram, I’ve chosen the font ‘Classic Roman Std Regular’ in Cricut Design Space.Īfter that, select what size you would like your letter to be. Next, change from the default font to your desired font. Open Design Space and start by selecting the text tool and typing in your letter (or letters). We have also created a video tutorial of the method below if you prefer to watch how things are done! Split letter monograms are also just one type of monogram you can create, there are so many other different ways to create a monogram (just have a look on Pinterest). Split letter monograms make great designs for tote bags, mugs, pillow covers, tumblers, clothing, shoes, and just about anything really! We’re going to use the weld and slice tools for this project, which may seem a little daunting to any beginners out there, but I’ll go through the whole process step-by-step.
