How to Upload a SVG Pattern to Cricut Design Space
First, gather your supplies.
Upload Father’s Day “Grill Master” SVG File into Design Space.
Once uploaded, click Ungroup.
Click and drag over each of the images separately. With the image highlighted, click on the “Weld” button”. You will repeat this for all Father’s Day seasoning phrases and clip art images.
Adjust image sizes to fit your mason jars accordingly. Measure the height and wide of your jar. For example, the largest “Grill Master” design image was sized to 3.5” high on the Design Space canvas to fit an 8 oz mason jar.
Color sync the images if needed to match the vinyl color. We used Light Gray from Vibrant Value Pack.
Once everything is prepared, begin the the Circut cutting process.
Cutting Vinyl on Cricut
You will want to begin the process of cutting your final product.
First, select “Make It” in Cricut Design Space.
Next, set material type to Premium Vinyl.
Begin to follow prompts for loading the mat into the Cricut Maker or Cricut Joy and cutting the Premium Vinyl. When prompted, unload the mat from the cutting machine.
Finally, remove the Premium Vinyl from the mat.
Mason Jar Father’s Day Gift Idea
When you have your final cut, you will want to begin the process of making your DIY Mason Jar Father’s Day gifts to hold BBQ seasoning mix.

- BBQ Seasoning Mixes of your choice (see below for ideas)

For Circut tools, this Basic Tool Set will have what you need and more! You can also pick up your transfer tape, blade, mat, vinyl and more at the Cricut Store.

Assembling BBQ Seasoning Mason Jars
You can pre-wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using. Do not begin the next step until your jars are completely dry.
Michael’s has 8 oz Mason Jars for $1 each. Free shipping when you spend $50.
First, cut around each image with a pair of scissors.
Using the weeding tool, peel away your excess vinyl around the cut images and discard.
Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the image.
Peel away the backing of transfer tape and place the transfer tape on top of the cut image. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.
Next, peel away the vinyl backing. Leave just the image adhered to the transfer tape.
In a straight position, place the phrase and clip art with the transfer tape on to a smooth area of the mason jar and press into place.
Press your vinyl image down with your fingers or with the Cricut scraping tool to help it to stick to the mason jar.
Finally, carefully remove the transfer tape leaving only the vinyl image and phrases on the glass mason jar.
Repeat this process for the the rest of your mason jars and free cut files.
To finish, fill the mason jars with your favorite BBQ seasoning mixes and tie a piece of ribbon or twine around the jar lid.
We used Natural Jute Twine from Michael’s. Free shipping when you spend $50.
