How to cut the template:

CRICUT

- Upload the SVG Files in Cricut design space.

-  If you have a scoring wheel or scoring stylus, make sure to use the SVG files with solid lines and remember to set up the score lines, before sending to cut.

 Check out my tutorial to learn how to set up score lines in cricut design design space.

-  The SVG with dashed lines are intended to be cut, so you don’t need any scoring tool.

SILHOUETTE CAMEO

- Use the DXF file in Silhouette studio.

- I recommend using the DXF file with dashed lines.

BY HAND WITH SCISSORS AND CRAFT KNIFE

- To cut by hand, I recommend using the PDF file. 

- The PDF file template comes in Letter size paper.

- The PDF file is NOT EDITABLE.

Instructions:

1. Print all the pieces of the template on white paper (Copy paper)

2. Trace on acetate and cardstock.

3. Score along the dashed lines with a bone folder. 

4. Cut the template with scissors and craft knife
