HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED

 

 

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE FREE SVG FILE

The first thing you’ll need to do is get the free SVG file you’ll use for this project.  I keep all the SVG files I use for the projects I make in my SVG Library.  These SVG files work with Cricut and Silhouette machines, as well as many others.  This library is open to everyone and is free!  You can access the library here. Look for the file called Santa’s Sleigh BA2409. It will be listed under the Craftmas 2024 Category-Day 9.

 

STEP 2: CUT THE CARDSTOCK PIECES

Open the design in your cutting software and resize it to 6.5″ wide, let the height adjust proportionally.  The sleigh has perforation lines that will be cut with a regular blade.  If you’re using Cricut Design Space, ungroup the design.  Then, you’ll need to attach the perforation lines to the shape behind it.  Once everything is sized correctly, cut out the pieces with your Cricut or Silhouette.

Once the cardstock is finished cutting, remove it from the cutting mat. It’s best to flip over the mat and gently bend it over until the cardstock releases. This way, the cardstock shouldn’t get bent.

 

STEP 3: ASSEMBLE THE SLEIGH

Add glue to the back of the decorative pieces

Attach the pieces to the sleigh.

Fold along the perforation lines.

Add glue to the side tabs.

Attach the tabs to the side of the sleigh.

Do this on both the front and back of the sleigh.

Add a line of hot glue down the bottom of the sleigh, about 1/4″ in from the outside edge.

Attach the candy cane to the bottom of the sleigh.  The crook of the candy cane should face the shorter end of the sleigh.

Repeat with the other candy cane.

Fill the sleigh up with candy or small toys.

And this project is finished
