DIY Recycle Bin Labels With Cricut

September 10, 2020 · In: Cricut

Learn how to make labels for your home recycling bins using a Cricut machine, vinyl, and Cricut Design Space.

I go through a lot of paper, plastic, and cardboard in my craft/filming studio, and I wanted to make sure I was recycling it all versus just throwing it in the trash. Before, I was just storing in some random boxes in the garage until they were full enough for a dropoff at the recycling center. But now that my studio is in the process of a major facelift, I decided it’s time for a proper recycling station.

I ordered these stackable bins from Amazon, and they weren’t super cheap but I don’t have an IKEA nearby so it was the best I could do. They’re really great quality, so I’m very happy with the purchase. Once the bins were set up, I broke out my Cricut Joy and a sample pack of Smart Vinyl and got to work.

What You Need:

  • Cricut Cutting Machine (I used Cricut Joy but any Cricut machine will work)
  • 3 colors of vinyl (I used the Cricut Smart Vinyl Beachside Sampler pack because it came with five cohesive colors)
  • Transfer Tape (I used Cricut Transfer Tape)
  • Weeding Tool (My fave comes in the Basic Tool Set)
  • Scissors or TrueControl Knife
  • Cricut Design Space (I’ll link to my exact template I made so you can copy it. Link is below in tutorial.)
