![]() ![]() Then select different colours, so you can later cut from one sheet of light card. Insert all the shapes you need and get the size right. That gives you a view of the cut that will be made.įinally save your project, but do give it a name and some tags, so you can easily find it again!! Now you are ready to move on to STEP 3. You can double check you have done it all right, by clicking on the eye on the top right hand corner. I then use the “magic delete” tool to get rid of the tiny bit of white around my shape. Cropping does a fine job, but the eraser is FUN. You can either crop first or select the eraser and get rid of all the bits you don’t need. Once you have uploaded your image, select “Basic Image” (as you are going for a simple one colour shape) Go for “Basic Upload” (ignore the images at the bottom, those are my saved projects!) Go to the design room and start a new project. Here are the Cricut Design Room steps to help you along the way: * 1 face (depending on shape a circle, heart or triangle) IUse the heart shape to create an additional “cape” (a large heart) and select basic triangles and circles as basic shapes. I scanned in a set of cards instead! Then I went to the Cricut Explore Design room, uploaded it and each time cropped out one the four suits and saved it four times. I check the Cricut Design room for exciting shapes. Clearly the four suits some hearts, circles, triangles and some rectangles (for the feet). I took a look at the Marching Soldiers cartoon to see what “shapes I would need”. You can hand cut the bits you need, but of course it will take a little longer! Soldier Craft Stepsġ) As Disney only had the heart card template, I started to make my own for all the cards. Having a Cricut Explore is convenient, but not essential. * old deck of cards (with some missing already!) ![]() Make your own Alice in Wonderland Soldiers: Materials: I wanted to do all four suits (though the hearts are probably the nicest), so decided to make my own pattern again. (our main Alice in Wonderland party craft! More below)ġ) Free Drawing – I found some lovely “framed” paper, that instantly turns every drawing into a “framed work of art”Ģ) Alice in Wonderland Colouring Pages (my kids can colour for hours) – I printed some from Coloring Book.Ĥ) Finally – the “proper craft” – some Alice in Wonderland Soldier Card People (that was a mouth full). I made the Alice in Wonderland Card People based on those by Disney Family – they had made some for Valentine’s Day, so had a set of heart shaped ones. Perfect for kids party crafts (it would have been so handy for our Superhero Mask party craft and Paper Hobby Horse party craft). So I decided on the following for activity ideas, loosely themed around Alice in Wonderland: This is probably my most favourite feature of the Cricut Explore and makes it terrible useful and versatile for me. ![]() The final activity (the soldier cards) where made a LOT easier by using my new Cricut Explore.Īs I was able to upload my own pattern and cut enough for 10 kids to craft. I also didn’t want to offer “too many wedding crafts”, as a) kids don’t always fancy it and b) it can be overwhelming and c) it may all end up in one big messy pile. So, I had a little ponder and thought it would be good to have a range of different alice in wonderland crafts and activities they could do – undirected and directed. ![]()
