In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to design and cut vinyl decals to personalize water bottles, bikes, bins, tools, coolers, and other everyday gear. We’ll cover design setup, cutting, weeding, and application techniques so your decals are clean, durable, and ready for real use.
This class emphasizes practical personalization rather than decorative crafts. Bring an item you’d like to customize, or use one of the provided practice surfaces during class.
All materials are provided. No prior Cricut experience required.
This program is FREE to current Maker Space Members (use coupon: Member) or $25 for non-members. Space is limited.
Meet your instructor: MARANDA LUJAJOHNSON
Maranda is a multidisciplinary artist and maker with a background in ceramics, drawing, and graphic design. She earned her degrees from Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI and has since worked across mediums — from painting and sculpture to custom furniture design.
Maranda co-founded a design & fabrication business she runs with her brother and partner, a sustainable festival accessories company, and she converted a box truck into a tiny home, sparking her passion for custom builds.
Locally in Muncie, she serves as the Maker Space Coordinator at MadJax, where she leads the Villager Series — a weekly program rooted in the idea that it takes a village to bring community ideas to life. When she’s not making, she’s usually learning something new or helping others discover what’s possible with their own hands — though she’s just as happy tending a campfire, wandering the woods, or dreaming up ideas with friends.
