Cricut Lazy Susan Craft Idea

I am willing to guess that if you are here, you know the magic of using a Cricut too. In this craft, I will walk you through step by step how to make your very own unique Cricut Lazy Susan Craft. You will get tips and tricks to build up your confidence all the way through.

You will see it is okay to make a mistake and think through it. The best part of this craft is that it is completely up to you how the finished product will look. Determine your paint color, HTV patterns/designs, and basically, the overall vibe to get the exact look you want. That, y’all, is why I love to craft. Flexibility and creativity freedom is so important to me.

Well, who is ready? Go grab your supplies and let’s get started making your very own Lazy Susan. I am so glad you are here!

SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE YOUR OWN Cricut LAZY SUSAN Craft:

• 18” round (thicker version @ Home Depot)
• Waverly Paint: Plaster
• 100 Grit Sanding Block
• B&W Check Patterned Transfer Vinyl (Expressions Vinyl)
• Diva Watts Design in Cricut Design Space 
• Solid Color Heat Transfer Vinyl
• Weeding Tool or a Pin Pen
• Heat Press
• Cricut Air
• Lazy Susan Hardware Kit (Lowe’s)
• 100 Grit Sanding Block
• Drill
• Puppy Pads

STEPS WITH A CRICUT:

1 – Get your 18” wood round and sand it a bit to help with coverage.  

2 – With a 100 fine grit sanding block, lightly rub over your wood. It helps to smooth it out so there are no paint clumps.

3 – Wipe your wood clean of any debris.

4 –  Next, completely cover your round with a coat of paint. I like to use Waverly Paint, color Plaster best because it works great on raw wood. Tip* Be sure to get the thicker version of your 18” round so it is nice and sturdy. You can choose whatever paint color you prefer as well. 

5 – Using your Cricut machine, cut out your Image Template from the Design Space on your solid color vinyl. Let the Cricut do its thing and try to control your excitement. Tip* When removing your HTV, remember to bend your board and be sure to “Mirror the Image.”  

6 –  Set your Heat Press to 305 degrees while you are weeding out your image from your HTV paper. Use your time wisely y’all.  Tip* Check out Cricut.com to determine the exact temperature and time for whatever product you are using for your crafts. Excellent resource y’all.

7 –  Carefully begin weeding your HTV from your patterned design. Use the Weeding tool or Pin Pen to help this go smoothly. Weed out all of the designs for your project. Tip* Add a small amount of baby powder to the vinyl to help see the image easier. Also be sure to have the image pulled up so you can reference it back to it, especially with those very intricate designs. 

8 – Once your designs are ready, eyeball where you want to add to your wood round. Measure if you like, but I am not that kind of gal. Place your Teflon protective paper over the top. 

9 – Apply your heat-press, set at 305 degrees, for 30 seconds. Depending on your design you will need to apply your heat press in several sections to make sure it completely adheres.  Tip* Be careful not to leave it on too long, so as not to burn it.. 

9 – Carefully remove the backing, being sure that all the parts completely adhere to your wood. Tip* Go slowly in case you need to add a little more heat in an area.

10 – Repeat for all the HTV you need to have added to your board.

12 - With your Lazy Susan Hardware Kit, place it in the center of your wood board on your painted, completed wood round. Use a pencil to mark where to place your pilot holes for your screws.
