What’s Inside
- Spider · Window Roundel — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Spider · Window Roundel. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. Eight legs radiate from a round body; they are drawn slightly thick so they survive being hung. Framed in a classic round window, this version hangs on the glass like a little paper moon.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Halloween windows, doorway hangings, party corners and classroom crafts.
FAQ
Are the legs fragile? They are thickened on purpose; hang it by the body, not a leg. Framed in a classic round window, this version hangs on the glass like a little paper moon.
How do I hang it? Tape a thread to the body and let it drop from the top of the window.
Can I cut it large? Up to 25 cm across works well.
