You may have seen my St Patrick’s Day Alphabet cut files, a celebration of all things Irish and of course green. But sometimes you just want an easy to make project such as a sticker sheet to cut out and use for crafting, planners or home school. The cute Cricut Joy St Patricks Day Stickers are perfect for such activities.
I love that you can make stickers on the Cricut Joy. They may be different than printable stickers, but the fact that the Cricut Joy can cut such detail is amazing.
Can The Cricut Joy Cut Stickers?
Yes and its super easy. Cricut smart vinyl comes in a variety of lengths, so you can make sticker sheets as long or as short as you need your stickers to be. This is a great craft to do with kids. But also a wonderful way of making reward sticker sheets. Or for older children to make sticker sheets for school projects, or just because they want to design and create stickers themselves.
What a wonderful way to cover a St Patrick’s Day lesson or just enjoy afternoons crafting than with stickers. And not only do you cover history and art but also problem solving, ICT, maths and working out area. I mean come on, educational crafting has to be a winner right?

How To Design And Make Your Own St Patricks Day Cricut Joy Stickers In Cricut Design Space?
Designing Your Stickers
Select images in the left hand bar and search images. The stickers I have made are St. Patricks Day themed so I searched St Patricks Day. I wanted to be able to create a happy traditional Irish feel, thus searched all the things I would associate with St Patricks Day.
When selecting your images, single images work better. Also check the image is fully connected so it peels in one piece. If it doesn’t you can weld on small shapes such as circles or squares to connect the image.
If you choose a sticker image that has multiple layers you have 2 options. You can ungroup it and remove parts you don’t need. Or you can weld it together, however this will make it one solid image.
How To Use The Contour Tool In Cricut Design Space
Additionally, if you choose an image like the horseshoe below, you can reverse the contour. I wanted my image to appear in a circle.
Click on the image and select the contours you want to remove/reverse or hide. You can do this by clicking on the image, or the boxes in the side bar. Changing contours takes a bit of practice, but is a great way too change images in design space.
Set A Template Size As A Guide For Your Cricut Joy Stickers
Decide on a colour for your mat images and set a template for them to sit on. You will remove the template when you have finished but it helps as a guide. Cricut Joy Stickers must be 4.5 inches wide and as long as the vinyl you are cutting on.
It also helps if all images are the the same colour. However, it also helps to attach the images once arranged as it saves space when cutting if you arrange your sticker layout yourself.
