How to Make Personalized Christmas Lights Place Cards
- Upload the SVG into Cricut Design Space.

- Duplicate the SVG multiple times until there is one for every guest.
- Add text boxes with each guest’s name into the SVGs.
- Select the SVGs and the text boxes and click Unite so that all the elements will be cut in the correct position.
- Cut the designs out of adhesive vinyl.
- Weed and separate the individual place card designs.
- Add transfer tape to each design.
- Remove the protective film from the acrylic blanks.
- Position the vinyl on the blanks and peel away the transfer tape.
- Clean the back of the blank with rubbing alcohol.
- Add drops of ink onto the ornament to look like light shining from the bulbs.
You can gently blow through a straw to encourage the alcohol ink to spread out.
- Add a length of ribbon to the ornament so it can be hung from a tree.
- Use the ornaments as pretty place cards at your holiday table.
