What is Cricut Monogram Maker, and Who can Use it?
The Monogram Maker in the Cricut Design Space is a brand-new feature that users can access by tapping on the Monogram tool on the left side of the Cricut Canvas. You will see numerous options used to design beautiful monograms. You will know all the essential features in this tutorial.
The Monogram Maker feature is only accessible to Cricut Access subscribers. Cricut Access is a monthly subscription service for fonts and services. You get over 4,000 fonts and 200,000 images as a part of your subscription. You will also obtain perks, such as discounts on product orders and the Monogram Maker.
Instructions to Use Cricut Monogram Maker
Launch a new project in the Cricut Design Space software. The Monogram tool will appear when you tap on the Monogram icon in the Design Panel. Let’s check out each feature of the tool.
Operation Type
Operation type enables users to filter monograms that they can cut through the blade in the Cricut machine and monograms that are cut and drawn ( or foil).
Initials
Here users can write their four initials, for example, CAG. Remember that users need their last name in their last space. This is because many monogram designs have huge letters for the last name, and the Cricut Design Space will utilize the last letter you write as your last name.
Changing Fonts
Now, you must select the desired font. Below the header Classic, you will find several fonts for your monogram, such as handwritten, elegant, modern, and vintage categories. Under every category you will see numerous fonts under different categories. In most monogram types, the last name is at the center and more significant than the other letters.
Simple Borders
Based on your desired font, you can include a simple border. So, for instance, choose the second font below the Modern category, then select a round border. This will automatically change your font color to match your border. Next, you can add this to Canvas. Also, you can convert the colors of the monogram through the color tool on the top.

In a few monogram styles, if users change one color in the monogram on the Cricut Canvas, every color changes. You can utilize the Contour Tool and duplicate to separate the layers, but for new users, it can be confusing or fussy.
Thematic Monograms
If you tap on the Thematic tab (next to Classic), you will see a vast range of monogram frames, such as decorative, botanical, interests, occasions, and sports. When you tap on the desired frame, you will view the numerous monograms you can utilize with a frame under the image. You can tap on the original monogram styles and scroll the page using the arrow.
There are numerous options to select the desired one, but sadly Cricut still needs to include the three-letter monogram for your circle monogram frames.
Materials for Monograms
After creating your desired monogram, tap on the Add to Canvas tab, and you can also modify the image. After that, cut the image in your chosen material.
