- Create your own PNGs and SVGs in Inkscape, a completely free design software. I create most of my designs in Inkscape and then upload them to Cricut Design Space for cutting projects such as diy farmhouse signs, tshirts, or decals.

I absolutely loved this video because you took your time teaching us how to use the selection tools we would be using in Inkscape 😊 👍🏾 you walked us through thanks so much.
Thank you! You're amazing! I hope you hit all green lights and get front row parking everywhere you go! lol.
Awesome thank you!😊
Thank you for this video. I have watched a lot of them but yours was simplified. I am familiar with the Inkscape program but had no idea of what all the different options really do. Wonderful!
Thank you! I love Inkscape there’s so much you can do with it.
I love this tutorial! I have been looking for a simple explanation on how to get started making SVGs/PNGs with Inkscape and this was perfect! Clear instructions that were easy to follow. Thank you!
That's awesome I am so glad this was helpful!!
Best tutorial ever! Thank you
Thank you Christy! Inscape can be overwhelming when you first open it up. Your instructions are so clear. I cannot wait to start creating! I am also excited to become a subscriber. I love your style! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the comment and so glad you subscribed!! I am looking forward to making more of these tutorials I really love using Inkscape.
Thank you for sharing!! It was easy to follow along. I did get confused w/it being finally saved as a png (vs an svg). I have more to learn.
Hi thank you! Yes saving as an svg takes a few more steps but i will post that process soon!
Thank you for this tutorial! I was having a heck of a time figuring out how to design SVGs. This made it super simple for me.
Awesome, thank you!! I struggled with that too at first I'm so glad this was helpful.:)
Thank you so much, Christy. You've done an excellent job explaining and I've learned a great deal! I do so appreciate this video!
Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad the video was helpful.:)

Awesome! Thanks so much I'm glad this was helpful.
Thank you that was an awesome tutorial!
Awesome thank you so much!!
Best video ever! Thank you!
Wow, thanks! So glad you like it!
Very nice tutorial.
Thank you!
This was a great video thank you!
Great! Thank you so much!!
Great tutorial, thank you. Where did you get the snowflake image from? I’m trying to figure where people source their images from to create Svg/png files. Xx
Hi thank you! I think I just pulled this one from the internet I searched for snowflakes and found it. If I am selling a product tho I almost always find my designs from Creative Market or Etsy... those sources are my favorites.👍🏻
Excellent video. Do you have another where you put in multiple colored items and text. I did my text in inkscape had all the individual svgs and want to combine them if that makes sense and add an offset to it for a sticker. If you have any tips they are appreciated.
Thank you! I have several Inkscape tutorials I will do one on offsets for you. The way I do it is to change my text/object to a path (under Path), ungroup all the letters, and then while they are still selected select Union (under Path). Then you can scroll down to Linked Offset to create the offset, click on the little node that will appear to drag it out to the size you want. Then you can change the color of the offset you created to white to create a white border around your image or text. Hope that makes sense I will film and post something this week👍🏼
Wow! Thank u! This os a big help!
Of course! Thank you!
Hi! Loved your video, very informative. I wanted to ask if you're limited to the fonts in inkspace? Thanks!
Hi thank you so much!! No you can install whatever fonts you like and use them in Inkscape. I have found that when I install fonts I have to select “install for all users” so Inkscape and other programs recognize those fonts.👍🏻
@@AppalachianHomeCo Thank you for the quick response!
This was very helpful! Thank you. :)
You're very welcome thank you!
Christy Cain - The Appalachian Home can I ask you a question? I know it may be one of preference but, I have been doing research on different Cricut machines and Silhouette Camo Machines and I just really like your opinion on which would be better to purchase and user friendly. I want to make T-shirts, transfers and farmhouse signs to give as gifts and set up at my local farmers market. I thought maybe the Cricut Maker then I am not very familiar with how to do anything as far as like making signs and I know that it is a matter of watching TH-cam and such. I guess I just want your honest opinion.😊 Thank You, so much! I absolutely love your channel and I am always so excited when I seen that you have uploaded another video!
@@theresagross3523 Thank you I am so glad you enjoy my channel! I have used both the silhouette (cameo) and cricut machines, but have more experience with cricut. I like both but I will give you some pros and cons at least that I have found. The silhouette design program is a little better and allows you to do more and that is why I do most of my designs in inkscape when i use cricut. However I like Cricut products and use them (mats) even with Silhouette. I have had less problems with my Cricut than the Silhouette but maybe thats user error lol. I would say I prefer Cricut for vinyl cutting and definitely LOVE the Maker it is awesome and hard to beat. I have also cut stickers and things like that on both and still prefer Cricut. I already knew how to use Cricut when I got Silhouette and the learning curve is prob about the same i would say. I think you can download free design software from both machines, you might test and see which one you prefer that way? I think I am bias 😊 so definitely research more on Silhouette! I hope that helps you!!
Christy Cain - The Appalachian Home I can’t Thank You enough for that! To be honest, I have been really leaning towards the Cricut but wanted to get someone’s opinion who has used them. I didn’t know that they had the free software and I am going to download that now. Again, thank You so much I truly appreciate your feedback and response.
@@theresagross3523 You are welcome!
Hello Christy,
Thankyou for the tutorial, very helpful. I do have a question , if I wanted to save the image you made as a gift tag svg, would I highlight the box including the pink square with the words and save as an svg? If I wanted 12 tags on a page to cut in Cricut design space do I save one image or 12 on a page and then save as svg? Thankyou again!
Hi! I’m so glad you liked the tutorial! When saving as svg you don’t have to highlight the box or anything, it will automatically save everything on your canvas. Just be sure to save as a Plain svg and not an Inkscape svg. You can just save the single image and once you upload it to design space you can duplicate it there as many times as you need. If you duplicate it in inscape before saving it could take a while to load into design space. Hope that helps!
Christy Cain - The Appalachian Home Hi Christy, Thankyou. Just one more query, if I was selling gift tags as svg is it best practice to just load one svg or would it be correct to send both, i.e. one on it’s own and a full sheet?
stitchingfairy If you are selling a set of tags specifically you could go just make a full page ready to print.👍🏻
Just curious, why did you make a svg and png of the same design? Are they for different uses?
Hi. For some reason my cricut design space would not load SVGs. Even ones I purchased. So I used pngs until I fixed the issue. Also my website won’t let me post svg files as free downloads for viewers but I can post pngs for download. I am working on putting my svg files on my shop tho!
thank you!
You’re welcome!😊
I messing up somewhere along the process. I created an svg file but the letters are kerned, I think that is the word. Gonna watch again and see if I can figure out what I did wrong.
Hi you can change the kern by double clicking on the text, and up at the top of the screen there is a little "A" letter next to some boxes where you can change the kerning. Hope that helps!
@@AppalachianHomeCo thanks I will try that.
Ok sorry total newbie question coming...why would you want to use Inkscape instead of Design space or Silhouette studio? Easier? Lovvveeeee your channel!
Great question! I use Inkscape because it allows you to have more control over your designs. I can pretty much create anything or re-create anything. Inkscape has a lot of neat features like curving the corners of triangles, rectangles, and squares. You can also create text on an arc. There are just so many more things you can do. Also once you create a design in Design Space, it can't be published as a downloadable file. You can share the picture of it thru Cricut but you can't share the file. I share a lot of my files, and Inkscape files can be shared as SVG's and PNG's to sell or for free downloads like on my website. Thank you so much for watching my channel!!
can i know something about inkscape.is there a way to draw hair one by one with both sharp ends ?
Hmmm... I am sure there is but haven't tried to do that... I will see if I can figure out tho.
@@AppalachianHomeCo ok
Hi Christy! I love your videos. I downloaded inkscape and I cant find these fonts in my list. How do I get them?
Hi thank you so much! I found the script font, called Gybella, from thehungryjpeg.com. It was only $1 to purchase for personal and commercial use. The other font is called Chickadee and I purchased it from Creative Market for $3, for personal and commercial use. I haven't researched if there are free versions of these fonts, but you can try Dafont.com, it had lots of free fonts for personal use. I just downloaded them to my computer. You will need to extract all files if they are in zip form. After that, I right click on the font file (which will be true type or open type, I always select true type) and click on "Install for all users". That way all the fonts will show up in any program I am using. Hope that helps!
@@AppalachianHomeCo thank you! It is so helpful!!!
Now if I Import a jpg file how I can make that as svg file?
Hi. You would need to trace the design. Go to path, trace bitmap. Select “colors” and put in as many colors as in the design. Select ok and that will create several layers of colors that can be made into an svg. 👍🏻
Hello I can't open a png picture ... any help please??
Hi! I always drag the file of the PNG onto my screen and click ok. Check to make sure your file is definitely in PNG format.👍🏻
Hi! What docoment size is best to use for svg cricut / silhouette ?
Hi! I usually try to design an svg in the size I will be using it, but svgs by definition are scalable vector graphics, meaning they can be resized with no loss of quality. So if you don't have a specific size to start with, I would go with say a 6"x6" to 12" x 12" or therebouts, or if you work in pixels, at least 1000 x 1000 pixels, and you should be good to go. Hope that helps!
does any one worked with the svg's created in inkscape,?
it is not working any help is appreciated
Hi. What problems are you having?
@@AppalachianHomeCo i am trying to use the svg in my reactjs app , not able to use , it gives unknown: Namespace error
