I want to thank you because you had the willingness to do this and show us how to do it, what to do, the things that space design is messing with, etc. I know that making these videos take time. So, thank you for your time. That was worth it! I have subscribed to your channel!
Thanks for doing this tutorial. I was super helpful. I even created a file of just the square grid which I can use when doing larger than mat projects as a starting place/ template (and then I just save my new projects as a unique file so I keep my template file).
I’m happy to report that since I’ve only tried it twice, it was 98% precision so I wouldn’t be complaining at all. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us
I’m prerry good on the Cricut but had not thought of this . I know how to slice a little but now that I see how you are doing this to make her bigger, I GET IT NOW YAY. she will be like a big puzzle. It’s a lot of work but worth it. And to think, I was going to try another method today that would of been MUCH HARDER. THANKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUU. 😜
👏👏👏Excellent job. I loved cricut initially because as a newbie the cartridges made it easier for me to be creative but then as i got experienced it now makes its hard for me to be creative...lol but I'm already 150 cartridges invested. Im waiting for the Cameo 4 Pro to come out. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial.
I made Nala from lion king with these instructions and I am so excited. It came out Awesome. Thank You so much for explaining so well. New Subscriber ❤️
This is epic and I can't wait to try something like this with Jack Skellington! Lol :P Thank you so, so much for taking the time to make this video and explain it all even through DS was being annoying, you rock!
I know it's not super helpful for the Cricut tutorial, but in the Silhouette Software, if you have the designer edition; all you have to do it make your image as large as you want and then select "Tiling" and it automatically separates it for you onto different mats and into pieces and all you have to do is cut it out. And, as someone else posted you can select all the white pieces and choose to "Ungroup" and so on. It is a MUCH easier process. I actually make super large black images for all of our windows for Halloween and they are quite large to fill up the window. Cricut Design Space is the reason I rarely use my Cricut. I hate it. It's awful.
@lori Archuleta do you need a curtain type of printer to use the Silhouette software. Because I am trying to make life size cardboard animals for my daughters 4th birthday this year.
Wow that's a lot of work. With the Silhouette Cameo all you have to do us select the image and un group it. The you have all your separate part instantly with one click. Was thinking about getting a Cricut but having second thoughts now.
Corinne, love your videos. Have you considered (when working on a larger than mat project) to duplicate colors by sections and then contour? It may be a lot of duplication, but gives full sections/pieces that will fit on a mat. If needed, larger sections can then be sliced.
Hi Corinne Thank you so much for doing it all through to the end, I think to help I would number the back of the pieces to help where they go and arrows. See look so Beautiful at the end. I would love to do a hello kitty one, but will have to wait till I get a computer. 😀😍💖👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I really enjoyed watching! Learned a lot! My husband had a she-shed built for me, it has a full glass front door. My dream is to do this with my Bitmoji, looking out the door welcoming my friends and family in to join me! Now my question is, Is it possible to have this 2 sided? So I came enjoy the full picture on both inside and outside of the door. Never ever did this before, as a matter of fact I am new at this whole Cricut world thing. But willing and excited to try!
Hi ! I'm Simona from Italy thai you for share your work. For cutter fommy which cutter use it in the Cricut macchine because knife dont make right cut. Can you show me how apllication do you use it?
So your 11" squares don't overlap any when you are cutting the sections of the large piece? It seems like overlapping the same amount on each part (like approx 1/2 inch) would help with the taping, but I haven't done this before. Thanks!
Absolutely. It would just mean more pieces but yes you could make it for the most part as big as you want. I mean going like 25 feet would be crazy but it could be done :)
@@debbushee6970 as shown in the video the cardstock is all cut down the create the design including the black layer which is the back. The sheets are 12x12 sheets or 8.5x11 sheets of cardstock it’s all then pieces together with tape
Hi Corinne thank you for this! I'm trying to decide whether to purchase a cricut becuase in our case our art is watercolor, not individual color layers. If we want to do large character cutouts what process would you recommend?
@@CorinneBlackstone oh ok (don't have one yet so not sure if I understand the terminology correctly haha) but I just watched your watercolor flower sticker video, would that be the print and cut process you're referring to?
@@CorinneBlackstone My dilemma is I don’t have a sublimation printer but I’m trying to eliminate the slice lines that comes from cutting the picture up and putting large images on shirts. I hope that made sense.
Hi Corinne, am I able to slice an image if its not layered? I don't know why I don't get the slice option when I click on my images. not sure what I'm doing wrong
I’ve been trying to connect my Mac and my chrome book to the cruitcut but for some reason my machine does not want to connect on either. Frustrating I have to do everything in my phone and I dint get the exact format as you do in you desk top
The chromebook is not really compatible with the cricut. You can use the app but that’s it. As for the max make sure your Bluetooth is on and you are using the latest operating system.
Hi love all ur videos grest job at explaining but can i do this with a clipart without undoing every piece just slice the clipart n putting it together please thank u
Can you do this if your image doesn't have the solid background piece? I ungrouped this image and it doesn't! Ugh! Thanks for the tutorial! Do you attach the finished piece to a thicker surface for standing?
@@CorinneBlackstone Thank you!! I was all pumped up to do it after watching your video and then that just totally killed my momentum!! Haha, now I feel much better!!!
The cricut has specific cut limitations. It can only cut at its largest for anything but the explore 3 and maker 3 23.5x11.5 inches there for you have to slice the design to fit within the cricut machine limitations.
I have been following along with you as you are going. I understand why and how you are doing different steps but when it came to "Slicing" the box away from Marie, that complete bottom with the commands in it Slice, Weld, Attach, Flatten, Contour is not highlighted so I can choose Slice. I zoomed in on my image so I can see if it would then allow me and it doesn't. Can you please help? It is so easy to follow along with you and think you are a excellent teacher.
@@CorinneBlackstone I started at the top left square we added, I made sure the square was where my pointer was and it also showed up in the boxes on the right hand side. Nothing!
im doing this exact video step by step but when i go over to the side to click on my image and one of the black boxes..it doesnt work and slice option does not highlight for me to be able to use..what am i doing wrong?!?! ive been trying to figure out this larger than mat stuff for like nearly 3 weeks now..
Could be a couple things wrong but more than likely you either are not selecting both layers or you have too many selected. Hold shift on your keyboard when selecting layers. Also be sure your entire design is ungrouped and nothing is attached
@@tiffany6868 it may be that you’re working with a png then. In that case it may not be able to be sliced. What I would do is try another image you can see layers on and try slicing and see if that works. Then compare it to the file you actually want to slice
I get an error "not supported by explorer.. image to large" how do I fix this so I can make larger than life cute things? Does is need to be and SVG file?
I liked how you can easily take the layers apart. I have the silhouette cameo and I don’t believe it has that capability with the basic software I have. I did figure out how to do this with the silhouette but it was a bit harder.
I have a question, and sorry if it don't make sense i'm still learning. The image you cut was already an svg, but how would you do it for an image you found on google. I need to make a TMNT character for my son's birthday but not finding an svg file I like, however I did find one on google. Any help would be appreciated.
The use of the grid is a GAME CHANGER!! I'm newish to Cricut and never thought you use it!

Wow that's a lot of work. With the Silhouette Cameo all you have to do us select the image and un group it. The you have all your separate part instantly with one click. Was thinking about getting a Cricut but having second thoughts now.
this is ungrouped by color but not by each tiny piece. I don't know if the silhouette does each piece but yes Cricut has its downfalls.
I was thinking the same thing
OMG ! . I would either kill myself or put the damn $$$ down for a pro-sized plodder before going through all that crap LOL
I am going to be using your method very soon to make designs on a horse trailer!!!
That sounds awesome!

Thank you very detail . You are the great
thanks for sharing
Can I make less cuts by using a 12x24 mat going in cross sections? If so would I still need to slice all the small pieces separately as you did?
You can make larger cuts with 12x12 paper yes. You only need to slice if the piece won’t fit on your paper
Love this idea!!!
So your 11" squares don't overlap any when you are cutting the sections of the large piece? It seems like overlapping the same amount on each part (like approx 1/2 inch) would help with the taping, but I haven't done this before. Thanks!
you do not want over lap because it will be VERY obvious if you have overlap. You want as smooth a finish as possible.
Thank you so much for your help!!
Thanks

Is it possible to make a much larger prop?
Absolutely. It would just mean more pieces but yes you could make it for the most part as big as you want. I mean going like 25 feet would be crazy but it could be done :)

Hi Corinne,
am I able to slice an image if its not layered? I don't know why I don't get the slice option when I click on my images. not sure what I'm doing wrong
You are selecting too many things at once. You can only select two lines on the layers panel when you slice
am i able to do this on my iphone ? or does it have to be on computer ??
You can do this with the app. It’s a tad harder on the smaller screen but it can be done
Where did you purchase this SVG? I looked couldn't find

How do you open cricut through the website and not the app? Mine won't zoom out enough.
There is no website for Cricut. For a desktop or laptop computer you need to download the software from design.cricut.com

How do you mount to wall?
Double sided tape, command strips, sticky tack, push pins, lots of options
