What’s Inside
- Rainbow · Plain Cut — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Rainbow · Plain Cut. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. Nested arches cut as one piece; the gaps between arches are what make the stripes, so keep them even.
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
Spring windows, children’s rooms, pride displays and any craft that needs cheer.
FAQ
How many arches? Five – enough to read as a rainbow without becoming fiddly.
Do the arches tear? They are thinnest at the base – leave the base for last.
What size? 20 cm wide fills a window nicely.
