How To Weld, Slice, & Align In Cricut Design Space


Here, I have created some quick tutorial for some of the basic functions in Cricut Design Space. There are more advanced techniques that I will share in other posts, but you can do a lot with these three little things.

How To Weld In Cricut Design Space

  • Upload images to Cricut Design Space
  • Click Ungroup on top right (if welding Text)
  • Click and Drag images into position
  • Click and Drag to highlight all
  • Click Weld in bottom right corner

Note: If you are unsure about the placement, click Attach, and then come back to it later. Do not click Make It until you have welded however. Doing so will create cut lines in your image.

Here is a short video I made that will walk you through the process.

How to Slice in Circut Design Space

  • Upload your images into Cricut Design Space
  • Place your cutting image over the top of you main image
  • Align the images
  • Click and drag to highlight all
  • Click Slice in the bottom right corner

Note: You can not slice Attached images. You must first Weld them together, in order to Slice.

Note: To make it easier to see, you can change the color of one of you images. Just click the image, and then click the color square on the top left of the screen to change its color.

Here is a short video that will walk you through the process.

How to Align in Cricut Design Space

  • Upload you images to Cricut Design Space
  • Stack you images into the direction you want
  • Click and Drag to highlight all
  • Click on Align on the top center left of the screen
  • If you want to stack vertically, click Center Horizontally
  • If you want to stack left to right, click Center Vertically

Here is a quick tutorial I made for the process of aligning.
