Shape Icon in Cricut Design Space Mobile App

In this tutorial, we will learn how to access and use the Shapes tool in the Cricut Design Space mobile app. Using the Shapes tool will allow us to modify old designs or create new designs, such as an easy split monogram. This tool may be plain and simple but something that we regularly use in Design Space.
To begin, open the Cricut Design Space mobile app and create a new project.

Step 1 - Access Design Space Shapes

To access Design Space shapes, you will first have to tap on the Shapes icon in the lower toolbar. A pop-up will appear with all of the available shapes.

Step 2 - Select Shape in Shapes Toolbar

Next, tap the shape you desire to use in the project. The shape will appear on the canvas and can now be used to create a beautiful design. You can take it a step further and use the Cricut Slice tool to slice out another object from the design.

The butterflies in the previous image were easily made by welding two heart shapes together. You can create these butterflies and so much more by using the Actions tool alongside the Shapes tool in Cricut Design Space.
You can also use the Line tool in the Shapes toolbar to create a crisp score line for folding items like invitations or holiday cards. You can truly create anything when using the available shapes and adding a little imagination.
