Personalize a soap dispenser set with plotter lettering and make your own soap
Set up your workspace so you can work cleanly and comfortably: The dispenser and bamboo-tray should be dry, dust-free, and grease-free. This is key to ensuring the vinyl film adheres permanently and the lettering stays looking great for a long time in the bathroom or at the sink.
The following instructions are for a PC running the Windows operating system. The button layout may vary on mobile devices and other operating systems. The labels remain the same.
Download and Prepare the SVG File
Open your computer and download the provided SVG file. Go to the Cricut Design Space program and select “Workspace.” Click “Upload” to import the SVG file into the program.
Plotting the Designs
Select all the designs on your workspace and click “Break Apart” to edit them as desired. To connect designs, select them individually again and click “Connect.” This allows you to customize the designs to your liking (our large letters are 4 cm long and the small ones (SOUP) are 2 cm long). Go to “Create” to preview your project and ensure that your designs are displayed in their entirety. Click “Continue” to start the plotting process.
Weeding and Transferring
After plotting, the designs must be weeded. This means removing the excess background so that the designs remain on the transfer sheet. Cut the transfer sheet to size and stick it onto the designs. Use a scraper, to press it down firmly, then peel off the designs so they’re left only on the transfer sheet.
Applying to the embroidery hoop
Place the plotted lettering on your soap and dish soap dispensers and press them firmly into place using a scraper . Remove the transfer film slowly and carefully.
Now make your own soap using the “Hair & Body” soap base gel. To do this, mix the “Hair & Body” soap base gel with some skin care oils and “ soap scent. ” Then pour this mixture into the soap dispenser.
Now fill the dish soap dispenser with your regular household dish soap.
