We had a lot of fun with this one!
Hey 👋 I gotta is your
Without question the best large cut tutorial on youtube. Everyone else has no clue what they are doing so I don’t know why they think they should make a video showing others.
Finally, a video showing each and every step! Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial simple to understand. I have watched four videos on how to do this and yours is the only one I understand!
Omg I got my cricut in may for my birthday I saw so many videos on how to cut larger then mat none of them help me and some of them I sow them a few times I sow your video once and now I Knoweww how to cut ☺️ thank you so much for your video
Thank you! 4 yrs later and your tutorial is still useful.
You just saved my project THANKS! I had welded the names together for a wedding sign not thinking about the fact together it made them 2" over the 12" max...thanks so much!
Thank you so much! I did a quick google search for how to create a very large cricut cut-out and this completely answered my question. Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I have been so afraid of doing this now I feel more comfortable to tackle my big job!
You are welcome!
This was so super helpful! I've been frustrated for days trying to figure out how to cut a large porch sign!
Glad it helped!
Omg!Thanks for this video.Very simple and straight to the point.🥰
Thanks! Very helpful! I watched other videos for the same thing and still couldn't figure out how to make my image larger.
Quick and easy to follow lesson. Thank you so much!
One of my favorite tutorials thus far love you guys have a great day God Bless
THANK YOU! This also allowed me to figure it out in the mobile app, since I don't use the PC version of design space. You are awesome!
I cannot figure this out on the mobile app can u help plz
Great job! Other videos made this process extremely complicated. Thanks for simplifying this for me!
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU! This is so much easier to teach since the way I normally split it is through photoshop and not everyone I try to teach this to uses photoshop! I'm going to tackle a 36 inch decal for the side of a car using this method. I'm excited to give it a try!
Yeah, we're so glad to hear that it helped. Let us know how the decal turned out!

Thank you! Perfect tutorial! I'm new to vinyl and this was just what I needed!
My favorite tutorial on this so far! Great idea using rectangles instead of 4 squares!
We're glad it helped!
these directions were clear concise and easy to follow! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!!
Oh my gosh, I'm going to try this. I've been trying to do a simple sign however, I need it be 53 long and 10 3/4 high letters (well thinking 8" high is good and maybe swirls on the front of the words and after. I've been struggling and struggling to do so. Thanks for this so much.
We're glad this helped.
I found this very helpful, Thank you so much for your time and the awesome video!! I cant wait to try this.
I would have loved you finish it so I could see how it turned out! Thank you.
We should have finished it and placed it on the wall. Here is another one that was completed - th-cam.com/video/1LII1qpsMjk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you I’ve been trying to figure this out
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been wanting to make oversized mandala stencils for my entryway floor!! I may just attempt this!!! Loved the transfer tape as well.... looked easy to work with!
Once you see it done, it's so easy and that transfer tape is a favorite. You can find it here - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
i wonder if will be easy to cut it instead of fold it . thank you for sharing
Tysm for making this video so clear and understandable. Now I'm not so intimidated to try a larger than mat project. Thanks again!
This was informational to me. Thank you so much. Have a great day.
We're so glad to hear it helped!

Thank you it was very easy to understand, I appreciate your help!
very helpful! Thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Great teaching class, easy to follow! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This is just what I needed to know! Thanks!
Another great useful tip I can see coming handy in the near future
This was a fabulous tutorial. This is something I have wanted to do for quite sometime now. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering, do you sell the transfer tape in the large rolls such as the one used in the video ?
Hi Tracey, we do carry the transfer tape. We have it in 6 in rolls or in 12 inch rolls which we used for this tutorial. It can be found here: expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape.html
Thank you!! I have always wondered.
Great video! I would like to see what you do if there are two colors you need to incorporate.
Try out this video :) th-cam.com/video/5izafu32CDc/w-d-xo.html
thank you so very much , this was very easy to understand ,
Thanks, so helpful.
M.patricia .
Thanks, you really helped with my project!
I can't seem to change the width and height without them both changing! New user!
Hi, there is a little icon that looks like a chain link between the width and height. That just means the proportion are locked. If you click on it you should be able to update each separately. Hopefully that helps.
Wonderful! Thanks for this video! 🤗😊
Thank you very much for this simply explained video. Is there a video on larger than 12 by 12 Mat? Thank u
Hi, this video we used the 12 x 24 size sheet of vinyl and you'd could use the 12 x 24 size mat as well. We also have another one that is a large wall decal. Here is the link to it - th-cam.com/video/1LII1qpsMjk/w-d-xo.html Hopefully that helps.
Thank you very much, you made that such a simple job. What kind of transfer paper is that? Thanks!
Paper transfer tape.
Oh MY Goodness!! This was SO helpful!! Thank you so much! You got a new subscriber!!
Thanks! We're so glad to hear that it helped you.
Muchas gracias por tu ayuda
Where did you get such a massive roll of transfer tape. Great job on the tutorial! I may not be so scared to try it now. Thank you!
Thank you! Here's a link for the tape she used expressionsvinyl.com/paper-transfer-tape-roll/
Hello great craftsmanship 😬
Thanks
Where did u get this transfer tape ? It come off so clean !
On our website! expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
Thanks for the video. Good details.
Figured it out. Wasn't hitting the 'Ctrl' key as you instructed in your video!
Glad you figured it out!!
So glad you put this here! I could not figure out what/where "control" was! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing how to create larger design layouts using our cricut, I have the air 2. Do you know how to reload your mat in the exact place for repeated etching (later dates) of same designs over and over to achieve exact placement of the etch design?
Wonderful video
Thank you!!!
When you lice how do you know what size to use in the position boxes?
This will be a silly question for seasoned Cricut Design Space users, but how did you change your screen to show the whole large object? When I make my project 23x11.5, I can only see part of the image.
There is a light grey - and + in the bottom left of the canvas in design space. These will adjust the view.
Thank you for sharing!!!
so helpful!!! thank you :)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video.
Have you found a way to avoid having 1 image cut into 2 parts? Like maybe cut 24" and then pause the cricut and pull the tape back to cut the other half of the image or something similar?
No, unfortunately there isn't a way to do that. The image will not even begin to cut unless it fits within the size limits in Design Space. The only way to do it is have it set up in 12 x 24 inch pieces.
Thank you! We couldn't figure out how to slice the image! Great video!
You are welcome!
Can this technique also be used for HTV iron-on projects? I am making a hoodie, and the design needs to be at least 16 inches across the chest. Thanks!
It is possible to piece together iron-on designs as well. Yes!
Thank you very much - your video is clear and easy to follow. My one question would be where you buy such a large roll of transfer tape?
You are welcome! Thanks for tuning in! This is where you can get the Transfer Tape. We love it!! expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/rolls/
If you you are using an Ipad how do you slice the image?
Thank you so much!!!
I am trying to cut out a large double circle using your step by step guide here, but it will only cut out one circle side , not two??
Here is another video that might help you understand how to cut both sides. th-cam.com/video/1LII1qpsMjk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, great instructions.
You are welcome!
Where transfer paper? Awesome tutorial Thank you.
Thanks for sharing! After I slice the image it resized. Was it suppose to seeing that I am putting it together to equal a whole picture or should it stay what I sliced it at ? (My original size)
K thank u
Ok, I'm stuck when you get to "slice". My right side doesn't look like your's with the rectangle and scissors icon...When I select anything from the right "slice" never comes up as an option. What to do?
This usually happens when more than more than two layers are selected or if your image is not ungrouped.
Great video, JoAnn! Can this method be used doing print then cut in Cricut?
Yes, absolutely!
Thank you so much!!! Where did you get that roll of transfer tape, exactly what I would love to have!
Here is a link to the transfer tapes that we carry expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
I only have the 12 x 12 mat 😅😅 ig I’ll cute it into fours?
Yes, if you just have a 12 x 12 you can do 4 pieces instead of 2.
HOw do you make the design space with so many squares in it. (resize but how?) the slice button didn't come on, warning sign saying it was too big.
It will give you the warning sign but you will still be able to slice it into smaller pieces. When you are slicing them you need to make sure that you are making them the correct size. Just to be safe I usually make them about 11.5 x 23. Also, you are only able to slice 2 images at a time. If you have more than one selected you will not see the slice button. Hopefully that helps a bit.
I was so excited when I saw this video, but, I tried using an uploaded svg to make a 11” x 46” porch sign and my explore air wouldn’t allow it. I did not get the slice options with my squares. I also had to weld my design, does that make a difference?
You will still be able to use the slice method. You just have to make sure that you only have two things selected. If you have more than 2 then it will not slice.
May I ask what type of transfer paper you are using in the vidoe?
Hi, we used the paper transfer tape. Here is a link to it - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
Hi love ur video but couldnt u rotate the sweet to fit the 12x 24 ? N the rest of it thank u
Hi Ida, yes that is another option as well. We just wanted to show the basic concept of cutting an image larger than the 12 x 24 mat you are limited to.
Im cutting a 24x24 with multiple shapes and colors how do i go about it
Hi I'm a little confused. At 3:38 when you began to move the sliced pieces, you moved the rectangle and part of the letters that was sliced. Why didn't you have to move the other part of the letters when you removed the second rectangle?
Hi Laurel, I only really sliced the one rectangle and not the other. It was just there to show you the sizing. Once I removed the first rectangle the second one was exactly the size I needed it. So, there really wasn't anything to slice out. Hopefully that helps. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
@@Expressionsvinyls Thanks! I think I need to play around with slicing a bit more to fully understand how it works.
It's pretty fun once you get the hang of it.
Where do you get the roll of transfer paper and what is it called? I have tried searching this as it's the perfect solution to making large signs. Thanks.
This is paper transfer tape. You can find it here! expressionsvinyl.com/paper-transfer-tape-roll/
@@Expressionsvinyls Thank you. Sadly it's over $20 to ship to Canada. I'll see if I can find it on Amazon.
Very helpful. thank you. Where do you get your transfer paper?
Hi, we carry it in our shop. We have it in sheets or rolls. It is a favorite of ours! expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
Can this be used for large pieces of fabric as well. I’m thinking of purchasing a cricut but for mostly fabric purposes.
I would assume so, never tried it with fabric, but it should essentially be the same concept
This is awesome. I been trying to figure out how to make big vinyls. Where do you get that paper transfer tape?
Here's a link for it expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
Tried following all the others and could not get it.
Thank you very much! The video was wonderful - can I ask where you purchased the transfer paper?
Hi Lynn, you can get it here - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
It's one of our favorites!
In your design space canvas, how did you get your squares smaller and to skip numbers so all of your project fits in that corner? when i make mine that big it takes up my whole screen?
Hi Rebecca, in the bottom right hand corner there is a plus and minus sign to zoom in and out. I just had the screen zoomed out as far as I could. Hopefully that helps. Please let us know what other questions you might have.
May I know why you prefer paper transfer tapes to clear ones?
It really is just a preference. The paper is easier to tear and can be used with the wet application method. However, the clear is great for layering.
can you do the matt displayed on print and cut
It depends on the printer you have available.
I am fairly new and just realized I was with to the point of print. Then after looking at your printout, I noticed you have white with pink letters. What did I miss? How do I do that? I can only visualize one color of vinyl.
Hi Cindy, In this video we are cutting the adhesive vinyl. We aren't actually printing everything. After it was cut then I weeded out the excess. Where I removed the excess is what you see in white. The pink is the vinyl left on the backing sheet. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We'd be happy to help.
www.expressionsvinyl.com
Can you do this with layered colors? Do you have a tutorial for that?
You can, if you're using adhesive vinyl and certain HTVs you can just layer one on top of the other. Sometimes you will have to do the knockout method (slice on the Cricut)
Okay can anyone help me?? I have a cricut explorer air. On my cricut design space, it will only go to 6 inches. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Anything I do bigger then 6 inches on the design space, it won't let me cut. So what am I doing wrong?? Please can anyone help me? I would like to make big decals like this. Thank you.
You will want to make sure you have the correct machine selected in the upper right hand corner.
I’m having trouble doing mine vertical words on 12-24 mat
Hi Lupe, what is not working with your image? We'd be happy to assist further with it.
This is good to know thank you so much! does this work the same way if we were doing a stencil design say for a pillow?
Yes, you can!
@@Expressionsvinyls I am trying to do my first pillow. Video seems like it will be helpful. Watching while at work (obviously not working...whoops). Will watch again later at home. Thank you!
where can i get a larger cricut mat? ive only seen the 12by 12. joanns or Micheals maybe?
Joanns and Micheals carry the 12x24 Cricut cutting mats
Why doesnt it show in layer panal a yellow triangle because the image is to large? Is it because the type of image your using or because the laptop your using...?
Hi Julie, this video was done before Cricut did the update in Design Space to show the yellow triangle. I we were to go back today and do that it would show on it.
thank you for the video BUT I dont have a rectangle option on my shapes can I add one
What machine do you use?
Could you link where you purchased your transfer tape from? It looks so nice. Thanks!
Hi Jennifer,
We carry it in our shop. Here is the link to it - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you for the video, what kind of transfer tape do you use and where do you get it from?
She was using the paper transfer tape. expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/rolls/
Looking for help please. I just purchased the Explore Air 2 yesterday so I am a newbie! I was following along with your video (which is very helpful, by the way) but I am running into a problem. I select my image in the layers field and I see the slice icon is black but when I hit control and one of my rectangles the slice icon goes gray so I am no longer able to use it. Not sure why. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Donna, you want to make sure that you only have 2 images selected. Sometimes the images come in grouped together. When you select one look at the layers panel to see if you have the "Ungroup" option. If you do, then make sure that you ungroup it and then select the image and the rectangle. Hopefully this helps.
Can you tell me please what brand of transfer tape that is. Thanks
This is it! expressionsvinyl.com/paper-transfer-tape-roll/
