My latest project using the Cricut has been personalised baubles for family and friends for Christmas. I used 6cm clear baubles and fake snow all from The works. Using Rose Gold Vinyl from circuit, all I needed to do was input the names needed into design space, in my chosen font and scale them to fit a 5cm circle template.

Folding over the edges and cutting the corners I then proceeded to glue the edges over onto the greyboard. With the remaining two sides for the base, you wil...
