Step 1: Sign in to Design Space and Create a Design

Before physically forming the Cricut ideas for Thanksgiving, all the DIYers need to sign in to their Design Space account. After getting signed up, they can start creating the Cricut Thanksgiving banner design. Read the following steps to learn about the process:

First, open the Design Space app and sign in by entering your login details.
Second, press the New Project option, and you will land directly on the canvas.
Next, I choose the Images toolbar and type the banner inside the search bar.
Now, choose any one of the banner styles and then press the Insert Images option.
Following this, resize the banner and then add Text inside it using the Text toolbar.
After typing the Text, I changed its font, size, and style from the Dropbox menu.
Now, choose flowers for your Cricut Thanksgiving banner by going back to the Images section.
After reaching the section, choose your favorite flowers and leaf from the library.
Following this, change your flower and leaf color and size as per your preferences.
Now, press the Make It option appearing on the top-right side of the canvas.
After pressing the Make It option, choose your material from the Browse Materials dropbox menu.
Now, press the Continue option given at the bottom right side of the screen.

Step 2: Load Materials Into the Cricut Machine

After selecting the material, gently put it on the top of the cutting mat and then insert it inside your craft plotter.
Next, you need to press the blinking C button, which means that the means are ready to cut down the material.
After your craft plotter finishes the cutting process, unload the mat and peel off the material.
Following this, I will weed out designs with my weeding tool and place them in the corner of your table.

Step 3: Cut Banner Pieces

When the weeding process is complete, spread glue over the back side banner pieces.
After spreading the glue, place the piece on the top of the other banner design.
Now, take one alphabet, spread glue over it, and settle it on one banner piece.
Follow the process by settling down other alphabets on the remaining ones.
After placing the alphabet on the pieces, load another material, and it will start cutting down your flower and leaf patterns.
Following the completion of the cutting process, peel the flower design from the mat.
Next, rotate the flower material and make it in the form of a flower.

Step 4: Put All the Designs Together

After finishing wrapping up the above-said steps, it’s time to finally conclude Cricut ideas for Thanksgiving process. In order to do so, you need to follow these steps:

Now, I will take a Cricut glue gun and spread small drops of glue around the flowers.
After doing this, place them on the top left side of the banner piece.
Next, repeat the same by placing the flower and leaves on the remaining pieces.
Following this, take a strong thread or ribbon and start inserting it inside the holes.
Now, I will hang the banner in the correct position on your wall or outside your front door.

Viola! My house is all ready to welcome the guests for a housewarming party served with drinks & tasty dinner.
