SVG MILK AND COOKIE PLATE INSTRUCTIONS
- Let’s get creating… gather your supplies and turn your Cricut machine on.
- Open Cricut Design Space and click on “New Project”. Select the “Upload” button from the left-hand panel (on a desktop Mac). Then, click on the “Upload Image” button. Press the “Browse” button and navigate to the svg file for this project. Add tags for your project, and hit “Save” at the bottom right corner.
- On the next screen, select the image you just uploaded, and then press the “insert images” button in the lower right-hand corner.
- Before doing anything else, make sure your size is set to the correct measurements: (W 10.595, H 1.481). Also, set the position of your project to X 0, Y 0.
- If you would like to cut all of the words exactly as they are displayed in the file, select all and click on the “Attach” button in the lower right-hand corner and proceed to Step 6. However, the words are going to be cut apart after they are removed from the machine, so it is not necessary to attach.
- Select the green “Make It” button in the top right-hand corner (on a desktop Mac). Select your material size. I chose the 12”x12” since I used a full-width piece of vinyl. Press the green “Continue” button in the lower right-hand corner.
You are now ready to make your project…
- You will have 1 LightGrip mat to prepare. Place one sheet of gold vinyl in the upper left-hand corner of the mat. Proceed to Design Space and select Vinyl Material (On older Cricut Machines, you will select Vinyl on the dial on the machine). Next, follow the instructions within the program when to load the machine, and then proceed to cut.
- When your cut is complete, unload the mat from the machine and remove your project. Cut the vinyl so that you have “milk” separated from the words “…and cookies”. *Please note: You will see 3 dots above the word cookies. These are extra dots in case you need them for the dotted letter“i’s”. This is a very delicate font and sometimes the machine seems to lose the little dots, so there are extras for your convenience.
- 9. Use your weeding tools to remove vinyl around the words. Then, cut a piece of transfer tape the same size as your vinyl pieces. Remove the backing paper from the transfer tape and apply it on top of the gold vinyl words. Use your Cricut tools to press the transfer tape down.
- Remove the backing from the vinyl. Using the guides on the transfer tape, place your vinyl words: “…and cookies” on your clean, dry tray. Starting in the middle and working outwards, press the vinyl so it adheres to the tray really well. Peel off the transfer tape slowly. Repeat for the word “milk” on the bottle.
- Add milk and cookies and enjoy!
SALVAGE TIPS
- Make sure your surface is clean and dry before applying the vinyl. (You can use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball)
- Handwashing is recommended for the longevity of the vinyl.
- Don’t forget to check thrift stores for the plate and glass.

Hi! I came across your page when troubleshooting. I am making personalized Christmas cookie plates for Santa. My plates are ceramic. I washed them with soap and water then used rubbing alcohol. I used cricut brand permanent adhesive vinyl and Oracal permanent adhesive vinyl. They looked great but the vinyl had moved because I had stacked the plates on top of each other. So my question is did that happen because I didn’t give the vinyl 48hrs to adhere to the plates or should I use like mod pudge or something on top to prevent that from happening?
Very possibly because it didn’t have long enough time to adhere. You could use mod podge, but it shouldn’t happen. Here’s a link to some troubleshooting.
