Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The files are 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 every design.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. The bolder styles take most people well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheets double as colouring and tracing pages, 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.
