An easy way to get started using the Cricut and making quick/easy projects is to utilize the Make It Now feature in Cricut Design Space. This feature will allow you to cut a pre-designed project and guide you step by step through the process of cutting and assembling the project. Some of the projects shown in the 'Project Photos' gallery, such as the '3D Autobowl', 'Thank You Card', and 'Animal Bookmarks' were "Make It Now" projects.
This tutorial will show you how to customize a Make-It-Now project.
