• Connect the Cricut Explore™ to the pc/laptop/Mac. Log on to your Design Space™ account, search for ‘parties & events’ in the categories and select the Halloween Drinks Set project.

• Resize the images as required for your chosen bottles by first highlighting the image and then dragging the corner point. The size appears in a black text box as the image is altered.
• Cut the images from Midnight Cricut vinyl, turning the Smart Dial™ to ‘vinyl’. Use the scraper tool to apply the vinyl to the mat; this ensures good contact and removes any air bubbles.
