If you'd rather buy an already made Spotify Drinking glass Decor Plaque, yous can get them on Amazon or Etsy!

STEP 1: Download the template and become the Spotify Code

Take hold of your SVG file from the gratuitous resource library.

Unzip the file. If you do not have a program installed on your computer to unzip, I recommend 7-zero. (It'southward free! Windows merely)

For the Spotify song code, become to Spotify and search for the song y'all'd like to apply. The song barcode will be scanned and the song will automatically play. You can pick whatever song or playlist from Spotify's massive library.

Click on the three dots side by side to the song and select "Re-create song link".

Head over to Spotify Codes and enter the song url you merely copied. On the pop-up box, leave all of the settings and make certain you select "SVG" as file type. Download the file.

Stride 2: Upload the Spotify Code into Cricut Pattern Space

Upload the template design in Cricut Blueprint Space.

The designs are already sized for cut so no sizing adjustments are needed.

We practice even so need to customize the text and images. The next few steps will bear witness you lot how to do this.

Upload the image you'd similar to use for the anthology fine art. I recommend calculation a personal bear on and using your own epitome.

Save the prototype as a print then cutting.

Change the cut type on the green box to engrave. This will allow you to temporarily run across a "guide" for how your paradigm will look.

When you are comfortable with how your paradigm looks for the album art, change the cut back to "cut".

Select both the dark-green box layer and your image layer and click on "slice". This will cut your image out.

Delete the green box layer and the image cutting out layer. Now yous have your album art!

The font we are using for this project is called "Made Tommy". You tin can download the personal use version from dafont. If you are selling these, you volition demand a commercial license.

The song name is in Fabricated Tommy (bold) and the artist name is in Made Tommy (regular). This font was one of the closest fonts I could detect to the Spotify font. But feel free to utilise whatsoever other fonts you prefer.

The song name goes first (in the red box) and the creative person name goes below it in the bluish box. Delete the cherry and blue boxes once you are happy with how the text looks.

Cricut Design Space is a chip finicky with fonts. Nosotros will likely need to manually accommodate the spacing between the words. Y'all can do this by first ungrouping the layers.

To make the give-and-take spacing easier, group letters in a word. Manually move the words around to your desired liking.

Once you are satisfied with how everything looks, don't forget to delete the red and blue boxes.

There is also a smaller blue box that y'all can put the vocal length in. I recommend deleting this layer too as the 0:00 timer unless you are making a larger design. This was very hard to weed.

Finally, when everything looks good to your liking, nosotros need to attach all layers (except for our album cover). Select ALL layers (except album embrace) and ATTACH.

I put the glass console on my cutting mat because information technology has a filigree that I can use as a guide. I put it in the lesser corner and and then placed my album embrace showtime to see how I wanted to center it.
