Fonts used:
The large R was AppleMyungjo (was preloaded on my Mac computer);
The numbers 7 and 5 on the right ear were AppleMyungjo;
The name "Remington" was Amelya;
The words on the right ear were Arial Rounded MT Bold;
The Date and Time of Birth on the right ear were Arial Rounded MT Bold.

Pink Elephant (see below for gray option) www.amazon.com...
Gray Elephant Option www.amazon.com...
Cricut Easy Press Mini www.amazon.com...
You explained this so much better then everyone else I’ve watched. Thank you for the info. I’m still learning and some ppl on CZcams go way too fast. And don’t show everything or explain it well. You did such a great job explaining and showing how to. So I love how slow you went and I was able to follow you so much better then the other channels. You have a new fan! Thanks!
Your comment is so uplifting to me today!!! Thank you very much!
Best tutorial I've seen on how to do this! Thank you so much for the video.
Thank you so much!!! That is so sweet!
This is super cute Queen. TFS
Thank you Unbiased!
Thank you soooo much for this video!! I'm a beginner and you taught me so many things! Everything I've been searching to learn, was in this video!!! I've watched a few videos and they weren't as helpful as yours!!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I really appreciate it🙂
Beautiful!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome and thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it.
Excellent video. Thank you
Thank you!
Thank You for such a great tutorial! I just finished my first one and it was a SUCCESS as i followed you step by step.
Kathleen, I am happy your first one was a success!!! Thank you so much for watching and letting me know that it was helpful. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know😊
How adorable and thank you for sharing the step by step process!
You are so very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for all the tips, I learned alot 🙏
Thank you so much for watching and your nice comment!!!
Thank you so much!! I made my very first one following your steps
That is great!!! They are so much fun and so cute! I hoe you were happy with how yours turned out:)
Best tutorial I have seen for this
Thank you so much!!!
agreed
Thank you so much for this video! You’ve made this entire process so easy! I had so many wow duh common sense moments. I can’t believe how many shortcuts there are that seems like it should be common sense. But for me it’s really not. Maybe a beginner thing?
You are so very welcome!!! Thank you for such a wonderful comment!!! Yes, as I have done more and more with the Cricut, things become more familiar and more like 2nd nature:)
Good video thanks looks good ❤
The lady I gave this to just had another grandchild and asked for another of these:)
Super Cute! Can't wait to try this project.
Thank you! My 5th great nephew/niece (this one was a great nephew) was born in the last couple of weeks so I just ordered a gray one for him. Here is a project I will be doing soon:) amzn.to/3iX9LRB
Hi Marilyn ,
Thanks for s great tutorial !
I’ll be a first time grandma in October.
I am new to this .
I don’t have a mini press cricut but do have a cricut easy press 2 . Do you think that I can use that ?
Congratulations on your upcoming grandchild! I bet you will have all kinds of fun making things for him/her. I think the Easy Press 2 will be fine. You may need to let the bulk of the elephant hang off the side of your table/countertop/whatever you are pressing on while you press the ears, but I think it will work just fine. Thanks so much for watching!!!
Such a great video. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!!!
Great ideas on how to place the words.
Thanks Barbara but I can't take credit for originality as I was mimicking something I saw on pinterest.
Grrat job. This was very helpful.
Thank you so much!
Hi there! Thanks so much for this video. All was going well until I got to the command key. Pcs don't have a command key. So I'm lost with how to select the white or the pink only items so they print the way they are organized on the mat. Any help is appreciated. I'll be doing a lot of cutting and attempts to place them straight myself.
I did a quick search and what I read says that the control button on a PC is often the key to use in place of the command button on a PC. Do you want to try this out and let me know if it works. If it doesn't, I will dig deeper? Thanks for watching!!!
@@MakingwithMarilyn It's the shift key. Thanks for your reply. I did a search too and that was unhelpful, so I cautiously touched a bunch of buttons. The Shift key worked. Thanks so much Marilyn. Great video. Thanks for all your help.
@@janicepinnock5804 I am glad you found it and thank you for letting me know! That's helpful information for the future.
This video explains it so much easier. I love it. Do you happen to know where I find the elephant in blue for near this price?
I'm sorry, but I do not. Amazon has gray ones like this, though. amzn.to/3TRC04N
You’re brilliant
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a nice comment!

Congratulations Dawn!!! That is so exciting!!!
I love this video ❣️ I just want to know if the color is necessary if I use a phone or tablet because I can’t find the color on it.
Thank yo so much!!! The colors you use on your phone or tablet won't matter and you can choose any color to represent your design. The important part is using the correct color of vinyl when you cut the various parts.
Love the video! Very informative. I do have one question tho, how would you ship it to someone?
I would probably use USPS but I don't ship a lot and would need to check around to see which service would be least expensive. Sorry I can't be of more help with your shipping question.
How well do these stick long term? Can they be put in the washing machine? Slightly concerned about the vinyl coming loose around babies incase it become their favourite toy, more rather than a display piece.
What is anyone's long term experience?
The lady I made this for put it up as decoration in the baby's room. I don't know how it would fare in the washing machine but my htv shirts do fine in the washing machine. I would be a bit concerned that if the baby plays with it as they get older and chews on it that the vinyl could be a choking hazard. If you make these, I would sell/give them as decor and not a baby toy. Thank you so much for your question. It brings up an excellent point.
Can I do this using my Cricut Joy? And my IPad?
Yes, you can definitely do this with your Joy. I don't use my iPad to run Cricut Design Space, but you can do that as well.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thank you so much!
What are you putting on top before you iron?!
I am putting a teflon sheet on top before I iron it. Thanks so much or watching!!!
Can you link the vinyl that you used for this product? I am new to cricut and want to make sure that I’m using the right stuff.
Almost any heat transfer vinyl or iron on vinyl would be okay, but I have included links for what I used. The pink is called "Everyday Iron On" and here is a link to it (it comes in a 3 pack with a variety of colors and the rolls aren't very wide). www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N3FCRH1/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07N3FCRH1&linkCode=as2&tag=makingwith022-20&linkId=24108872f6302dc4a49c8be339e32415
The white was a scrap from a larger roll. Various lengths of rolls are sold and mine is pretty big, but I will link you to a smaller roll in case you want to try it out first for a lot less money. The link to it is www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R8S7TK6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07R8S7TK6&linkCode=as2&tag=makingwith022-20&linkId=de931604bc233f86eac2333ea9b97604
Nice. I wish the fonts were in the description box. I been searching apple...
Thank you for your feedback. When I get home from work today, I will send them to you and add them to the description. Thanks for watching and the great suggestion.
Thanks for the suggestion. Here is what I used:
The large R was AppleMyungjo (was preloaded on my Mac computer);
The numbers 7 and 5 on the right ear were AppleMyungjo;
The name "Remington" was Amelya;
The words on the right ear were Arial Rounded MT Bold;
The Date and Time of Birth on the right ear were Arial Rounded MT Bold.
Thank you. I had just typed in apple but couldnt find anything that look like what u said. I gave up & just picked a random font. But i have lots of elephants so ill save the info thx again
You cant group everything?
If I was cutting all the design out of the same color, I could have left them all grouped and then attached them all together but with having the 2 different colors, I couldn't leave them all together. Thank you so much for watching!!!
Hi what is the printing machine you are using
Farah, I used a Cricut Maker cutting machine to cut the heat transfer vinyl. Thanks for watching!
Can you share the measurements please
I gave the elephant away so do not have it here to measure them. I could watch the video and write them down as I see them on the screen, but I am actually getting ready to make one of these for my great nephew who was born recently, so I will make a video and provide better information about the sizes I use. Thank you!
Thank you
Hi why is the white vinyl a cold peel??
Some vinyls are hot peel and some are cold peel. This is designated by the maker of the vinyl. If you pull the backing off of a cold peel before it cools down, it has the potential to stretch and get ruined. I prefer to be able to peel the backing right off:) But it is worth the wait.
I love this. All I have is a 6x12" green mat. Will it do? Newbie here. Thanks.
Thank you very much! I had never seen or heard of a 6 x 12 mat so I did a little research. Looks like they may have discontinued the 6 x 12 mats. I read some reviews on them and apparently people found that they weren't real stable for cuts, but worked okay for using with a cricut pen. If you can get the mat to work well with cuts, it would be fine since the pieces of htv are small. Have you used the half mats for cutting projects before? If you decide to buy mats, you can get 3 on Amazon for a decent price.
Yes I bought the 6x12 a few months ago. I’ll buy the larger one tomorrow at Michael’s. Thanks.
@@deanneflansbury-sobotka5473 low and behold, I actually saw a 6 x 12 mat in Michaels last weekend:) I hope you were able to make your plush baby announcement!
What kind of circuit do you use
I use a Cricut Maker, but other Cricut's will cut heat transfer vinyl as well. Thank you for checking out the video!
@@MakingwithMarilyn thank you for responding 🙏🏼
