How is your online class structured?
Introduction & Overview:
I'll start the class with a brief introduction, explaining the project and what we'll be creating. I'll share examples of ornaments to inspire students and get them excited.

Step 1: Glitter Application 
I’ll show how to apply glitter to the ornament, explaining the different steps for a clean, sparkly look. Students will get to choose what color they want to use. 

Step 2: Designing in Cricut Design Space 
I’ll guide students through Cricut Design Space, where they will create their ornament design. I'll show how to select fonts, images, and how to size the design for the ornament. Students can ask questions as they design, and I'll provide feedback.

Step 3: Cricut Machine Setup & Cutting 
I'll demonstrate how to set up the Cricut machine, load the vinyl, and start cutting. Students will follow along, setting up their Cricut machines at home, and I'll be available to troubleshoot any issues.

Step 4: Weeding Vinyl & Applying Design
Once the vinyl is cut, I’ll demonstrate how to weed it and apply transfer tape to the design. Students will practice weeding their own designs, and I’ll give tips on how to avoid common mistakes.

Step 5: Ornament Assembly & Final Touches 
The final step will be putting everything together! Students will apply their vinyl to the ornament and finish off with any additional decorative elements like bows.
