Once you have created some text in Design Space, it’s time to actually get your Cricut to write it out for you. When you’re happy with your text, click Make It to send it to your Cricut. A new Color Chooser panel will appear-just select a new color from this panel to set it. Select Pen Color: You can change your pen color by selecting the square in the toolbar by the Linetype box. Move the letters where you want them to be (hold down the Shift key to keep them aligned as you move), then select all the letters and choose “Attach” or “Weld” in the lower right to keep them all together. Now you can move each letter individually. You want to be sure “Writing” is selected in this Style menu, whenever available.Ĭharacter Spacing: If your letters look too spread out or too tight, you should fix this before you write! Click on your text block and click the arrows on the Letter Space at the top of the screen until it looks right.Ĭharacter Spacing Tip: If you just can’t get your characters spaced perfectly, click on the Advanced icon at the top of the screen, then choose Ungroup Letters. So pick writing fonts for your Cricut writing!įont with Writing Styles: Many of the Cricut fonts have multiple styles which you’ll see in the drop-down Writing menu. Note on Font Selection: You can write with a non-writing font, but it won’t come out as expected-the Cricut will simply draw the outline of the font, which is probably not what you wanted and definitely does not look handwritten. I’m going to choose “Dear John,” which is a font available free with Cricut Access. ![]() Be aware that not all fonts are free, so choose wisely. Click the Filter label, then click on Writing to see all fonts appropriate for writing. Since we’re writing something, you want to be sure you choose a Writing font. You can also click the “Filter” label to see just your fonts, multi-layer fonts, single-layer fonts, and writing fonts. Once you’re in the font selection area, you can search your fonts or even choose to view just your computer’s fonts or Cricut’s font. You can also change your text’s size by changing the size in the Font Size drop-down menu at the top of the screen.Ĭhoosing a Writing Font: To change the font, first make sure your text is selected (click on it) and choose a writing font from the drop-down Font menu in the upper left corner of your Design Space screen. Sizing: Chances are it won’t be the size you want it, so click the double-arrow icon in the lower left corner of your text box to make it bigger or smaller. For this tutorial, let’s write “Cricut Rocks!” To create text, go to Cricut Design Space, click on the Text icon on the left (it looks like a big “T”), type something you want written in the box that pops up, and then click anywhere outside the box to set it.
