Make these homemade Christmas ornaments made with Cricut chipboard, the Cricut Maker and a knife blade. These large snowflake ornaments are retro-inspired and so fun!
Place one sheet of chipboard onto a Strong Grip mat. Make sure it is good and stuck, and use masking tape to secure each corner.
Load the knife blade into your machine.
Choose images in Cricut Design Space and when prompted, choose the material: 2 mm Chipboard.
Press chipboard onto the Strong grip mat and tape the corners down with masking tape or painters tape. This is so that the chipboard doesn't move around while it's being cut.
Cut!
It takes about 20 passes with the knife blade to cut the chipboard, so you will want to give yourself plenty of time if you want to make a lot of these. The good thing is, you can start the cut and go do something else for 30 minutes while it cuts. I cut 8 snowflakes and 9 ornament shapes over the span of two afternoons, all while I got all kinds of other things done.
Prepare the chipboard on a mat and load one of these ornament designs in Design Space.
Now cut the chipboard shapes out.
After cutting the snowflake and Christmas ornaments shapes, paint them with white craft paint (or any color of your choice) and let them dry for a few hours or overnight.
