Materials

  • White cardstock
  • Twine cardstock
  • Red Wagon cardstock

Instructions
 

  • Design Space
  • You will need Cricut Design Space to use the files that I have already created for you.
  • You will need to edit the name area to include your child’s name.

How to edit the name in the Design Space file:

  • Launch Design Space
  • Open the Cookie Tages + Instructions file
  • Click Customize.  It may take a little time for the file to load because it is a large file.
  • Click on the Text line, and then detach.
  • Double click the text to edit the name.
  • Now your file is ready to cut and print.
  • Cutting your design
  • Cut out the different pieces using the Explore Air 2. Use cardstock to print out all the layers
  • White - smallest tag with the Grade A cookies slogan on it
  • Red - larger tag with signature line
  • Brown - instructions tag. 
  • Click Make It in Design space to prepare everything for printing.
  • Follow instructions on the screen in design space.
  • After all of your cuts are done, you are now ready to assemble all of the parts.
  • Assembling the tags
  • Apply preferred adhesive to the back of the white layer and align it so that it is below the cut hole and above the signature line on the large tag.
  • Set the tags aside and cut your twine.
  • Arrange the tags and thread the twine through tags. 
  • Wrap the twine around the jar and create a bow. And place the cap on top of the jar.
