Create In Design Space

The first step is to login to Design Space and start designing your napkin rings! Click on this link to visit my canvas in Design Space to use my pre-designed cut files. I used the free font Melinda Script for these designs. Prepare your mat and get ready to cut!

Let Your Martha Cricut Work It’s Magic

Don’t forget for iron-on designs the backside of the iron-on should be face up and you’ll need to check the “mirror-image” button on the cut screen canvas before cutting, otherwise, your iron-on will be backward!

Weed The Designs

Weed, (aka. remove) all the excess iron-on material that isn’t a part of your design. Using the Cricut weeding tools makes the removal of intricate pieces super easy. Watch out for the frilly bits of this font, some of them are delicate.

EasyPress Heat + Time Settings

One of my favorite aspects of using the EasyPress is that Cricut has already created a spreadsheet of heat times and heat temperatures for all fabrics and types of iron-on. So if you’re using metallic iron-on on faux leather like we are here, there is an exact setting for that, which happens to be 280º for 30 seconds, front and back. That’s what I mean by no guesswork. You don’t have to hope that your iron is hot enough or that you’ve held it on the fabric for long enough. Follow this link to find the chart, I printed it out to have it on hand, then simply plug the correct temperature and time per your project into your Easy Press and press away!

Wrap

On each end of the napkin ring there is a slot to wrap and secure each one around a napkin. Easy peasy!

All Occasions

From weddings to Thanksgiving, and from birthdays to everyday meals, these custom napkin rings are sure to spruce up any table setting. They are so pretty in person that your guests might even think you bought them! Using uplifting sayings or even adding your guests’ names could make super sweet take-home gifts too!
