Plotting individual christmas balls : A creative step-by-step guide

Preparation: Download and configure the SVG file

To get started, first download our special SVG file to your PC. open the Cricut Design Space program, which you will use to design and edit the motifs. In the upper left area of the program you will find the "Workspace". Click on "Upload" on the left side of the bar and import the SVG file you downloaded earlier. This file contains all the motifs that we have plotted on the christmas balls .

Prepare motifs

Once the file is visible, select all the motifs and click on "Split" under "Layer" to separate them. Now you can select each motif individually and merge them using the "Merge" option. Now you can paint the individual motifs once again and then have the option to adjust the size of the motifs to your taste under "Edit". Make sure you click on "Create" in the top right-hand corner so that your motifs appear in the desired arrangement. If you skip this step, they could get mixed up after the plotting process.

Plotting and weeding

After you have made sure that everything is correct, click on "Continue" to start the plotting process. After plotting, you must weed the motifs. This means that you remove the excess background so that only the motifs adhere to the carrier film. Then cut the transfer foil to size and attach it to the motifs. You can use a scraper to ensure that everything sticks firmly. Then remove the motifs from the backing film so that they adhere to the transfer film.

Attaching the motifs to the Christmas bauble

The final step is to carefully place the plotted motifs on the Christmas bauble. Use the scraper, to attach the motifs securely. Slowly and carefully remove the transfer foil. Tweezers or a weeding hook can be very helpful here to remove the contours cleanly.

Personalize your baubles

If you want to personalize your baubles, you can create custom lettering in Cricut Design Space. These can include names or special messages and are perfect for adding a unique touch to your christmas balls .
