Step by step Instructions

Step 1

After downloading the free pattern here, upload the svg to design space. If you need help on how to upload an SVG to design space than check out this tutorial.

To continue to the next screen press the green “Make” button.

Step two

In the Prepare screen you will see how the color layers will cut on the mat. Each color will cut out on a seperate mat.

Now cut out a piece of glitter vinyl for each layer slightly larger than you will need. If you have several mats you can prepare them now with each color of glitter vinyl or if you have one mat you will need to load the vinyl after each cut.

This is how you want the fabric to look before you load it into the cutting machine. I recommend putting some transfer tape onto your cutting mat first, sticky side up, this will help keep your mat clean. And you will also need to go around the edge of the vinyl with painters tape to hold it in place. And you want the fabric good side down. I used a purple strong grip cutting mat for cutting a heavier fabric such as glitter vinyl.

Press the green “Continue” button to move to the next screen.

Step three

In the make screen you can choose your cut setting, and blade pressure. In this tutorial I used the “Faux leather (Paper thin)” setting.

Now follow the instructions on your screen on which blade to use. Load your mat and press the flashing “C” button on your machine to cut the fabric.

Here you see all the fabric shapes cut out in each color.

Step four

Place a dab of hot glue on the center back of the purple bow and fold over the edge. Repeat this on both sides.

Step five

Place a dab of hot glue on the back of the purple bow and press the bat wings onto it.

Step six

Place a dab of glue onto the bat wings and press the purple bow tails onto them.

Then Run a band of hot glue along the back and press the alligator clip onto it.

Step seven

Put a dab of glue inside the alligator clip and press the black bow band onto it. Now wrap the band around the bow back to front.

Once wrapped around put another dab of hot glue and press the band. Trim away any excess fabric.

Now your hair bow is complete.
