Easter decorative sign
Anleitung No. 3021This decorative Easter wall sign with the cheerful "Good mood" message is a good example of how creative ideas can be realized quickly and easily with the plotter machine. Find out here how plotting works.
Plotting
A plotter machine can be used to transfer digital graphics consisting of simple dots, lines or shapes (vector graphics) onto paper or film.In this idea you will find JPEG images with the message "Don't worry be hoppy" saved as a template. Download these JPEG files and open them in Cricut Design Space. Follow the instructions in the programme to cut out the words.
1. Open the Cricut Design Space app.
2. click on the three horizontal lines at the top left and go to "Workspace". You will now see the work mat on your screen.
3. select any font and also the size of the font. You can set the font size at the top of the bar or drag the text field larger - hold down the "Ctrl" key to enlarge the field evenly.
4. select your text fields and click on "Mirror" - "Mirror horizontally" at the top of the bar.
5. then go to "Create" at the top right and select the mat and mat length immediately afterwards.
6. finally arrange your fonts on the mat view.
7. cut your iron-on films to size and place them on the mat with the shiny side facing down.
8. connect your plotter and insert the mat.
9. click on "Continue".
10. follow the plotter's instructions, insert the mat and start the plotting process.
Remove the film around the words so that only the individual letters/words remain as vinyl film on the carrier film. Stick the transfer film over it and remove the backing film.
You can later use the transfer film to stick the words onto the signpost with an exact fit.
If you don't have a plotter machine, you can also print out the templates as a PDF file and transfer them to the vinyl film manually with a pencil and cut out the letters.
Design signpost sign
Paint individual parts of the signpost sign according to your personal taste. Cut the plugs off the bunny plug-in figures and paint them as you wish.Start by sticking the vinyl message onto the sign and then decorate the mural by sticking on the painted bunnies.
