Step 1

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.
TIP: If you want to make any changes to the design, click ‘Customise’ at the bottom of the screen and it will move the design into your canvas. Use the edit tools in the tool bar and then click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of your screen.

Step 2

Click ‘Continue’ in the lower right corner of your screen.
TIP: If you want multiple cuts of your design, before you click ‘Continue’, change the quantity in the upper left corner of your screen.

Step 3

Place a piece of cardstock onto your cutting mat, select your material and load your mat into your Cricut® machine.

Step 4

When your machine is done cutting from your cardstock, unload your mat and gently remove the cardstock. Remove any pieces left around or within the cutout and discard. Add your next mat layer, as indicated in the review panel on the left of your screen, re-load the mat and click the blinking icon. Repeat for each layer.

Step 5

Use a piece of scrap ribbon for the base.
TIP: The base will be completely covered so it doesn't matter if it coordinates or matches.

Step 6

Bend the paper leaves to give them dimension and shape as desired.

Step 7

Hot glue the leaves to the ribbon base until you have a full garland.
