Hi Elizabeth!
You only need design space to make the Cricut cut!

Kids can design in Google Drawing or any other program and download as png, jpg, or SVG files that you can upload to design space!  A lot of people create in the Ipad program Procreate for the Cricut!

One of my art teachers had students create virtual self-portraits using Google Drawing, then had the kids download the files and add them to a folder. I downloaded them, uploaded them to my Cricut, and cut them as stickers! You can see some in my screenshot...

I only have Design Space installed on the laptop I use to run the Cricut

Hello wonderful librarians,
I have a Cricut machine in my library but as of right now our computers do not have the Cricut Design Space app and will not get it unless they agree to the privacy policy. While my IT dept is working on this, I was wondering if there was a google app I could use instead - possibly Drawings - for students to design a silhouette and then share it with me and I can upload the design and print it using the app on my teacher computer. do you think this could work? Any other suggestions?
Any help you can provide I would be grateful 🙂
