Circus Images cut with Cricut and Blown-up Life Size
Yesterday I shared with you a .mtc and .svg file of a circus elephant balancing on a ball. Today, I wanted to show you what we did with him. We created large cutouts using plywood to decorate our carnival with Circus animals and performers. To do this, I cut out the shapes with my cricut as large as I could on a 12x12 mat. We then took those shapes and used an overhead projector to trace the images much larger onto plywood. We then used a saw to cut them out, we painted them and volia - great circus images decorating our school for our week long Greatest Webbfest on Earth celebration! The stars on the balls were cut using vinyl with my cricut. These pictures show the elephant I shared yesterday blown up and painted. We also used a lot of the images from the Lite Carousel Cartridge from PC. We created clowns, Lions, a Lion Tamer, Dancing Bears, a Circus train, a Circus Tent, a canon, popcorn boxes, ticket booth, large tickets, and more! Everybody loved them! Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to leave a comment with any questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
