How to Make Paper Feathers

Step 1

Choose a feather image and import the image into the Cricut Design Space.

Step 2

Now add text to the image of your choice and put that text right over the top of your feathers. Click that text layer and pick WRITE instead of CUT.

Step 3

Be sure the text is positioned just how you want it to be. Then, pick the feather and the text by holding down the shift key and clicking both. Click “ATTACH” and your feather is now ready for cutting and writing.

Step 4

Insert your marker into the Cricut Explore before continuing.

Step 5

With the cap removed and the clamp open, place the marker into the Cricut Explore firmly so that it seats all the way down.

Step 6

Put your cardstock on the mat. Pick a cardstock setting in Design Space. Use the arrow button to load your mat then click go to cut.

Step 7

Then, use a pair of scissors to give the feather more fringe.
