Autumn is a wonderful time to spruce up your home with seasonal accents. With a Cricut cutting plotter and some coloured vinyl, anyone can easily create stunning autumn decorations. In this step-by-step instruction, we'll show you how to plot sophisticated autumn motifs and transfer them to glass.
The following instructions refer to the use of a PC with a Windows operating system. The arrangement of the buttons may differ for mobile devices and other operating systems. The designations remain the same.
Step 1: Preparing the SVG file
1. download the file: Download our SVG file specially designed for autumn to your PC. This file contains various autumnal motifs, including a pumpkin and an acorn.
2. open Cricut Design Space: Launch the Cricut Design Space programme on your computer. Go to "Workspace" in the upper left corner. Then click "Upload" in the left bar and upload the previously downloaded SVG file.
3. motif display: After uploading, the file will appear in your workspace.
4. splitting the multicolour motifs: Select the motifs that are multicoloured and click on "Split" under "Layer" on the right. This allows you to edit and adjust the individual parts of the motif.
5. edit the pumpkin: Select only the orange part of the pumpkin and then click on "Connect" at the bottom right.
6. plot preparation: Now go to "Produce" in the top right-hand corner. The motifs are displayed in the different colours in which they are to be plotted.
Step 2: Plotting process
1. prepare the vinyl film: Cut the required pieces of coloured vinyl film. Make sure you use the correct colour shown in the program and stick it onto the cutting mat.
2. start plotting: When the mat is prepared, click on "Continue". The cutting process will start automatically. Repeat this process for all required colours.

Step 3: Weeding and transferring
1. weed the motifs: Once the plotting process is complete, remove the excess vinyl background so that only the motifs remain attached to the backing film.
2. apply the transfer film: Cut the transfer film to size and stick it onto the plotted motifs. Use a scraper to press the film firmly into place.
3. join the layers together: Start with parts that need to be put together, such as the upper part of the acorn with the lower part and the stem of the pumpkin with the pumpkin. Carefully peel off the motifs so that they remain on the transfer film.
4. transfer to the glass: Transfer the finished motifs completely to the glass of your choice using the transfer film.
Step 4: Finalise the glass decoration
Now you can fill the glass as you wish to complete your autumnal decoration. Whether as a tea light or for sweets - there are no limits to your imagination.
