Hi everyone this video is a complete step by step, start-to-finish guide on how to use Cricut Maker and Explore Air 2. We start with machine unboxing and hook up, Design Space install and project upload, and finish with cutting out a vinyl decal!

Hey Christy could you do a video or help me make a decal skin for my dji drone, I know you can buy a template on Etsy but I don't know how to get it up and put images on it and edit etc.

Very helpful but how do you design something from scratch? Can you do that in Design Space? If so, where is that tutorial?

[HayleyGomes]

Great tutorial! My only question is...I saw you putting the vinyl on but where did the clear sheet come from? I saw you peel it back to stick the red vinyl down but then what? Did you lay it back over the top of the vinyl before cutting? If so, what is the clear sheet?

So if you get the machine you will still have to pay monthly?

Still trying to figure one thing out. If you are using colored vinyl why change the color of the font on the software?

What a helpful video! I really like how you go step by step, even on the little things. I’ve decided to take on a few Christmas projects for my daughter and nephew. This helped my anxiety so much because I just got my machine this week!

I’m a complete beginner and still haven’t purchased a Cricut because I’m looking to see how difficult it is to use and what all I can actually do with it.. so far, I’m loving it and your videos are helping me, thank you so much ❤
