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 Snowman Face BA2422. It will be listed under the Craftmas 2024 Category-Day 22.
STEP 2: CUT AND WEED VINYL DESIGN
Open the design in your software program and resize it to fit your wood block. When everything has been sized correctly, you can cut the designs with your Cricut or Silhouette.
Remove the vinyl from your cutting mat and trim off any unused vinyl. Weed away the excess vinyl from around the design.
Cut a piece of transfer tape and place it sticky side up on your surface. Then place the vinyl on top of the transfer tape and smooth it down.
Rub over the design firmly with your scraper tool.
Then, trim off the excess transfer tape and vinyl backing.
STEP 3: ASSEMBLE THE SNOWMAN BLOCK
Sand the wood block so it’s nice and smooth. You can cut your square block from either a 2″ x 4″ or a 2″ x 6″.
Paint the block white. You’ll probably need a couple of coats of paint. Let the paint dry completely.
Stretch a knit glove over the top of the wood block
Use ribbon to tie the fingers of the glove together.
Grab the black vinyl and remove the vinyl backing.
Place the vinyl on the wood block.
Rub over the vinyl with your scraper.
Then, carefully pull off the transfer tape.
Repeat with the orange vinyl
That’s it. This project is complete.
