Christmas Chalkboard Steps

Step-1 Sizing

Size you SVG to what you want it on your board. For the Board I used, I made mine 8.4″ tall.

Step-2 Weld Letters

Select the SVG and ungroup it.

Grab and drag, only selecting the letters.

Then hit weld.

Step-3 Cutting And Weeding

My tip for this step is to set your Cricut settings to washi tape, especially for the lettering. This setting seems to do better for intricate cuts.

Step-4 Apply to Chalkboard

Use transfer tape, and transfer the design.

Once your design is on the transfer tape, transfer it to the chalkboard, starting at the center.

Step-5 Start Your Countdown
