Creating stunning home décor pieces to showcase a room makeover can be easy using the Cricut Explore. This project uses images from the Boho Graphics cartridge and iron-on vinyls to upcycle a pillow: perfect for a sofa or bedroom.
Cricut Iron-on vinyl Lites and Glitters can be layered on to fabric as long as Iron-on Glitter is the top layer. Change the colours to fit with your chosen colour scheme.
Note: The term Cricut Explore applies to any of the Explore machines: Explore, Explore One or Explore Air.
