Which side of vinyl goes down on Cricut?

This project requires a Cricut machine that cuts vinyl and Cricut vinyl. I used white vinyl for this DIY flower pots project. When you’re putting the vinyl down on Cricut to make your decorative flower pot design, you’ll want the color side of your vinyl facing up on the Cricut Mat.

Is Cricut vinyl permanent?

If you plan to place your Cricut DIY flower pots outdoors, you’ll want to make sure you’re using Cricut premium vinyl. This is the best option for any Cricut projects that may be placed on objects that are frequently used. Mugs, outdoor signs, and flower pots that will be placed outdoors are all good Cricut DIY projects that you should use premium vinyl for. According to the package Cricut, permanent premium vinyl will last up to three years.

Can you use Cricut vinyl on metal?

Yes, you can use Cricut vinyl on metal. I used a tin flower pot for my Cricut DIY flower pots, but you’re more than welcome to use terracotta pots or any other options as Cricut vinyl will transfer easily to almost any surface. Just be sure to select the premium vinyl for any outdoor or frequent use DIY Cricut designs that you’re working on.

Making these flower pots was such an excellent decision. During the current times, we’re living in, having a craft project to keep my mind and hands busy is surely an excellent stress reliever. If you have a Cricut machine and want to spruce up the front porch, outdoor garden, or windowsill I highly suggest you continue reading to learn how you can make these Cricut DIY flower pots today.
