Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space

Filed Under: Cricut Design Space Tutorials

There’s a handful of tutorials on how to create product mockups on the Cutting for Business blog. Most of these tutorials are geared towards Silhouette Studio users. Since so many Cricut users have been asking me how to create product mockups in Design Space, here’s a quick tutorial.

How to Create Product Mockups in Cricut Design Space

  1. Create your design in Cricut Design Space. Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  2. Either take a photo of your blank item or purchase and download a product mockup. Then, click “Upload Images” on the left hand side. Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  3. Choose your image and click the “Continue” button. Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  4. No need to clean up the image, so just click the “Continue” button again. (Note: My image looks blurry because it is very large.)Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  5. Select “Save as a Print Then Cut image” and click “Save”. Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  6. Select your image and click “Insert Images”. Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  7. Right click your image and click “Move backward” to get it behind your design. Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  8. Drag your the image and design around until it looks how you want it to. Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  9. Now, you’ll save it by taking a screenshot. On Mac, click “Command”, “Shift”, and “4” at the same time, then drag the rectangle around your image to save it. On Windows, use the snipping tool. Here’s my finished mockup image: Tutorial: Product Design Mockups in Cricut Design Space - Perfect for Cricut Explore Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com

Wondering where to get mockup images? You can purchase on Etsy, Creative Market, or stock photo sites.

        Are other users displaying mock ups on their site to advertise their product or just to their customer?

      GraphicBurger has weekly freebies. Those might be good to practice on.

    Hi Christine,
    Is there a way to make a preview/ proof of your design on cricut design space to email to customer?Like when you order a custom order off etsy and they send email of what they came up with to make sure you like it. Im just starting out and sell signs on fb, but my state doesnt have how you can actually sell on fb. Local people just ask me to make them something specific but have no way to know how to show them. I didnt know if theres an app or a way. Keep in mimd i dont have microsoft office or word on my laptop

    This works great if everything you do is in black but what about the cut lines showing when you change the color. Cricut design space doesn’t have the option to change cut line colors like Silhouette. Is there a way around this?

      Yes, actually Cricut Design Space does. You’d just change the layer to a print layer.

    Do you happen to have any information about how to create T-shirt Designs in regards to Font Size and Placement etc? My biggest problems with designing a T-shirt is not knowing How or What to put where. I don’t want to use someone else’s designs all the time but would prefer to know how to create my own. Thanks for any and all info
