Instructions

All shapes are available in Holiday Magnets.svg, attached below. Download and open Holiday Magnets.

1. Select a shape.

2. Open a new, blank Inkscape document.

3. Copy and paste your selected shape into the new document, and save the document with your name and in the DXF file format. (Your name so it is easy to find, and in DXF so we can open the file in Silhouette Studio, the vinyl cutter software.)

4. Open Silhouette Studio. Go to Open. Change the file format from .studio to .dxf and locate your saved file.

5. The shape will be larger. Using a handle, shrink the shape to 3.5" on the largest side, width or height.

6. You will make two cuts, one on the adhesive magnet paper, and one on paper or vinyl to give the shape color. Remember to adjust the blade between cuts. The adhesive magnet paper cuts at 6 and the vinyl often cuts at 1. You will use the cutting mat with the adhesive magnet paper.
