Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my personal heroes because he encouraged people to love each other and encouraged peace. As an educator, I use Dr. King as an example when teaching children about the importance of equality and the importance of being kind to all people. To celebrate the life of Dr. King, I created two canvases by using cricut supplies and designs in cricut design space. The first canvas features a famous quote by Dr. King, “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” and the second canvas is a silhouette of Dr. King.
What You’ll Need: Cricut Maker 3, Cricut EasyPress Mini, Easy Iron-On (black), Weeder, Applicator, White glue and water, Paint, Tissue Paper
Step 1: Paint the inner part of the canvas leaving a one inch border around on the sides.
Step 2: After the paint is completely dry, apply ripped tissue paper along the border border by using a paintbrush and a glue and water mixture (1:5 ratio of glue to water).
Step 3: While your canvas is drying, use the cricut maker 3 to cut out your designs with black everyday iron-on. Use the applicator to ensure there are no bubbles in your material and use a weeder to remove excess material. Tip: Leave your iron-on material on the mat and tape the mat down. This will make weeding the material much easier.
Step 4: Ensure you are applying enough pressure to the material to ensure it is applied properly. Carefully peel off the top layer of the easy-iron.
For Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I would like to remind everyone who is reading this about the legacy that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. left behind. I would like to remind everyone who is reading this about the legacy that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. left behind. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
