Once I decide on something, I tend to have a one track mind. So we picked up the bookshelf after dinner one night and spent all night assembling it after the kids went to bed.
- Add interlocking circle detail down the side of the bookshelf for added style
- Line the back of the bookshelf with fabric to brighten it up
- Swap out the handles on the bottom doors
- Style the shelves
In order to change the shape from a square to a rectangle, I clicked to unlock the proportions in the bottom left corner.
This then allowed me to drag the corners to create a rectangle to cover the center two circles.
I deleted the grey rectangle, and then repeated the same steps to separate the bottom two circles into a separate layer as well. I was then left with three separate layers, each with two interconnected circles.

Such a fun project. Something so simple makes such an impact. I just can't get over how versatile the Cricut is. We don't have one yet but think it's something we need soon! 🙂

You need one for sure! The options are seriously endless!
Nicole Burkholder says
Wow, that adds such character to the piece! I imagine it's much easier than trying to paint it, too 😉
Angela, Blue i Style says
Easier AND not permanent, which I love too!
Kim Lee says
What a great idea! And it looks so easy too!

Angela, I'm new with Cricut too and your explanations on how you did this made so much sense. Thanks so much for the tutorial. And that decal looks fantastic.
Hugs, Lynn
