HUGE UPDATE

***You can now curve text in Design Space! Visit this post to see how it's done and use it for your next project!***

Hiya, crafty friends! I am soooo excited to be sharing my latest Cricut project with you! I learned the coolest trick in Cricut Design Space: how to curve text. I can't wait to show you how I did it, and my fun summer party I created! Everyone loves a party expressing their love for the beach, right??

• Baker's Twine
• Solid Cardstock in Yellow, Blue, White, and Green
• Patterned Cardstock
• Adhesive

(You can use the Cricut project URL I started HERE.)

Let's get started! First, open up Cricut Design Space. Click on the text icon, and type the word 'BEACH'.

Select your text, and ungroup your letters. Now your letters should have individual letters when selected.

Click on the basic shapes drop down menu, select the circle and place it on your canvas. Click on the unlock icon, and drag your circle into an oval shape that is slightly larger than your text.

Center your text and oval, then one at a time drag your text down so it aligns with the oval.

Working from left to right, drag your letters down. Rotate letters slightly so they align with the oval.

Once your letters are aligned where you want them, group them together. Add additional text if desired.

Add any additional text or images if you want to. Be sure to group it together before cutting. I added a fun sun and palm trees!

Cricut App For Laptop

Now you are ready to cut your files! (Use my Design Space URL if needed.) Using your Cricut Explore Air 2, follow the directions in Cricut Design Space to write and cut images.

Cut and assemble gift boxes using the patterned paper of your choice.

Add baker's twine and cut image to the top of each gift box.

For my cake, I cut a strip of palm trees. I just LOVE how it looks on my cake! I cut a pineapple top and used honeycomb paper to make my cake topper.

Cut 3 in. pineapples for your glass bottles or drinks. Attach with an adhesive pop-dot for extra dimension!

I used my images to also cut a fun sign for my party and layered it on 12x12 in. cardstock covered with crepe paper.

I just LOVE how my party turned out. Being able to curve text really helps to customize a party, and I can't wait to use this trick again! be sure to check out more fun Cricut projects and tutorials on my blog HERE.
Happy crafting!

You can now curve text in Cricut Design Space!

This is a new feature, so here’s what I’ve learned so far…

How To Curve Text On Cricut App Iphone

Key takeaways

• Only on the desktop version of Design Space (more on that below)
• You can curve one line of text at a time
• System fonts should work (though I think this is always rolling the dice, depending on well crafted and coded a font is)
• You’ll be able to set the curve with a sliding bar as well as text entry (like you can adjust font size with a plus/minus button or just enter the number in the setting box)
• You’ll be able to adjust the curve once it’s been applied
• You can ungroup curved letters if you want to manipulate them individually
• The only curve shape right now is a circle

Curved text and the Design Space app

Right now, the Curve Text feature is not available on the app. Not only is it not available, you won’t be able to open any project with curved text. The only way you’ll be able to open a curved text project in the Design Space mobile app is if you’ve welded or flattened the curved text. You will not be able to edit the curved text or adjust the curve in the app.

How to use the Curve Text feature

How To Connect Letters Cricut

Once you’ve entered your text, just select the the text box. The Curve tool is on the Edit toolbar between Alignment and Advanced.

When you click on the Curve tool, a setting window will pop up so you can set the curve. If you drag the slider to the left, the ends of the line of text curve up; if you drag the slider to the right, the text curves down. The further you pull the slider in either direction, the more pronounced the curve.
