Free Rhinestone Templates for Cricut

When it comes to cutting a rhinestone design or font using your Cricut machine, proper sizing is crucial. This includes ensuring that the holes in your template are accurately sized so that the rhinestones fit perfectly. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of creating free rhinestone templates for your Cricut.

First and foremost, it's essential to understand that Cricut's Design Space is an exception when it comes to point sizing for fonts. Unlike other software, Design Space tends to skew the sizing of your fonts. This can lead to issues with properly sized holes in your template.

To create a rhinestone font, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Proper Hole Sizing: When cutting a rhinestone design or font, it's crucial that the holes are properly sized so that the stones fall into the template as you brush them in. Make sure to use the following point sizes found on the Product Features tab: 135.

2. Using Contour: To ensure that your holes are accurately sized, use the Contour button in Design Space to hide all objects except for one dot. This will allow you to focus on a single hole and make any necessary adjustments.

3. Welding Your Template: Before cutting, we recommend welding your template to prevent any issues with sizing or alignment. To do this, go back to Contour and click Show All.

4. Hiding Objects: Once your template is welded, hide all objects except for the box with holes punched through it. This will allow you to focus on a single hole and make any necessary adjustments.

Tips and Tricks

* To create individual boxes in Design Space, use the Shape Tool to create a rectangle and then unlock it.

* For SF versions of fonts, each letter or number is placed in its own box, making it easy to cut out entire alphabets without having to create custom templates for each customer.

Creating free rhinestone templates for your Cricut machine can be a fun and creative way to add some sparkle to your projects. By following these simple steps and tips, you'll be able to create perfectly sized holes for your rhinestones.
