I've already got my ticket to see it Thursday December 17th. What a better way to anticipate the release than a count down with Star Wars themed creativity!
I presented The 12 Days of Star Wars!
On the 12th day of Star Wars:
While I was perusing for Star Wars themed crafts I found this amazingly talented person.
This designer has created 33 different patterns for Star Wars snowflakes. They are all incredibly detailed. They are made the traditional way with folding and cutting. As magical as it is to unfold and see the creation, I just don't have the patience to make all those tiny little cuts. Instead I cheated.
I dusted off my Silhouette machine.
Go ahead and pull the image you want into the Sillhouette software. Re-size however you'd like.
Trace (on toolbar) > Select Trace Area > Highlight area to trace.
Make sure to uncheck the High Pass Filter box > Trace button.
Drag away the original image/ JPEG and delete.
Right click > Release Compound Path
Now you can remove the square around the image as well as any details you don't want. I cleaned up some of the designs because they were too small and I didn't feel like weeding them.
Watching my Silhouette at work never gets old.
This project was even easier than I expected. Even the weeding took less time than I thought.
I think the General Grievous is pretty cool. But I also really like the the BB-8.
I strung them up with some embroidery thread. I usually can't stand my white walls but I love the way the snowflakes look against them.
Hanging up with the other Christmas decorations.
Day 12: COMPLETE!
