Print Project

Step 1
Open your Cricut® Design Space™ and create a new project. Click on the 'Text' icon on the left of the screen and type in the numbers "1" "2" and "3". Choose a font and size to fit on the storage baskets. 
Step 2
Click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner. Click ‘Mirror’ under the mat preview on the left side and then ‘Continue’ in the lower right corner. 
Step 3
Place your heat transfer vinyl, shiny-side down, onto your cutting mat and load it into your Cricut® machine. Select ‘Iron-On’ for the material, and cut out your design. Once the machine is done cutting, gently peel vinyl from the mat. 
Step 4
Cut around each of the numbers and use your weeder tool to remove the excess vinyl from the design. Once the excess is peeled away, your design will remain on the clear plastic carrier that is tacky. 
Step 5
Lay a number in place on one of the storage baskets and slide the basket onto the end of your ironing board.  
Step 6
Heat your iron and then iron on the design, as directed on the heat transfer vinyl packaging.

TIP: Be sure to place an ironing cloth (or bandana) over the design when ironing.
Step 7
Carefully peel the clear carrier from design. Place ironing cloth (or bandana) back over the design and iron a little more, if needed. 
Step 8
Repeat for the remaining numbers and storage baskets.
