Step 1: Design Your Candle Label
The first step is to design your candle label. Open the Cricut Design Space software on your computer. If you are a beginner, you can start by selecting a pre-made candle label design from the Design Space library. If you want to create a custom design, you can use the Design Space tools to draw or import your own artwork.

Once you have your design ready, load your chosen paper or cardstock into the Cricut cutting machine. Make sure to select the correct material type and thickness in the Design Space software. Then, click the “Make It” button to send the design to the cutting machine. The Cricut Explore Air 2 will automatically cut out your design.
Step 3: Customize Your Label
After the cutting process is complete, remove your label from the cutting mat. If desired, you can use Cricut pens to add details, such as outlines or shading, to your label. Be sure to let the ink dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 4: Attach Your Label to the Candle
To attach your label to the candle, apply a thin strip of adhesive tape or glue to the back of the label. Place the label on the candle, ensuring that it is centered and smooth. Press down firmly to secure the label in place.
Step 5: Final Touches
Now that your label is attached, you can add any additional decorations or embellishments, such as ribbons, flowers, or glitter. This will give your candle a personalized and polished look.
