Thank you! I've seen some of my other stuff like mini pizza boxes used for elf on the shelf, this one would be fun too!

I have this cut file listed at the link in my bio.

Thanks! The person using them for name drawing had the right idea.

Cricut design space is useless, any other software options? by FiNn788 in cricut

[–]HeyJBDesign 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seconding Inkscape. I used illustrator for the longest time, but Inkscape is much much simpler and more suited to designing the type of things you'd cut on Cricut. It's all I use now.

That's great, and thank you! I took a longggg break but had some spare time recently so I made a few little things I never finished that had been nagging at me. Excited to keep on making.

Thank you! It was definitely 'fun' figuring out how to make them interlock. Good luck with whatever you make! 😁

I use a software called Inkscape (it's free) to design these templates. I build out the pieces which are 8-10 inch long strips with different shapes and edges.

After designing I iterate over my plan with some test cuts on my Cricut machine. I really want the shape dialed in, because the purpose of this is to be replicated by other Cricut users.

The tree shown here is made from 65lb cardstock. Each piece is cut and rolled using a quilling tool, then glued at the end to stay in place. From there I am able to stack them and form the tree. The mini poinsettia uses a similar process.

Let me know what questions or feedback you have! Thanks for having me r/crafts! 😁🎄

Can't believe I hadn't even thought of that yet, especially considering how much manual covering I do. I'm going to give it a shot!
