Instructions
- Upload the angel SVG to Cricut Design Space. You can change the size, if you'd like—smaller for a small tree, as large as 15" wide on a 12" x 24" mat! Remember you'll need larger cardstock if you choose to make her that big
- Cut out the pieces in cardstock and iron on. Remember to mirror your iron-on layer!
- Next, weed your iron on vinyl. The cut lines in glitter iron on can be a bit of a pain to see—so if you have a Cricut BrightPad use it for this. If you "curl" the iron on a bit, it really helps you see the intricate cut lines in this file.
- Then use your EasyPress or iron and adhere the iron on vinyl to the cardstock. If you find it hard to line up, use a bit of washi tape to keep everything in place.
- To adhere, use a lower heat setting: 295° for 30 seconds. It worked perfectly!
- Do the same with her halo and wings. For the wings, it is easier to flip it over and put the cardstock on the top and the iron on vinyl on the bottom.
- Then create a cone with the angel's skirt, using hot glue to adhere the blank white piece of the skirt under the other side (it is designed to create a perfect cone, like any traditional Christmas tree topper.
- Then use a dot of hot glue to adhere the wings between her shoulders and she's done!
