How to Size your Acrylic's SVGs in Cricut Design Space Tutorial - 2018

Hello! Jamie with Craft Chameleon here writing today's blog post. I also did a corresponding video that is on our YouTube channel. If you want something a bit slower paced or to be able to print out, you are in the right place here!

Open your Cricut Design Space.

Choose the file you want to open.

When you order a Craft Chameleon acrylic shape you will get 3 free files. You will need 2 of these. The png or jpg image which has dimensions you will need and the SVG which is your cut file. We are going to open the baseball or softball batter acrylic SVG first.

You can rename your image or add tags to the image for ease in searching later on. Save your SVG.

Now go back and upload the png (or jpg) image.

The png we only need to be able to read the dimensions, so choose "Simple" on the image type and continue.

With both images uploaded into Cricut Design Space it is time to upload to the canvas.

Now that both files are open and on your canvas, select the PNG file and enlarge so you can easily read the image dimensions.

Next select the cut file portion of the SVG. Align the various pieces or layers.

Enlarge the SVG to roughly the size shown in the png file. This is 2.973" but needs to be 2.820".

You can use the size bar at the top to input the exact dimension.

After the first dimension is correct, if the second dimension is still a bit off, unlock the size bar. Then you are free to input the exact measurement.

Now all the measurements are correct!

Now separate the layers to be cut. In this design, you will need to add a number or monogram and make sure it fits inside the laces. Then proceed on to cutting and applying the vinyl.
