If you would like to design your own advent calendar, create a template of 24 rectangles and add images and numbers to create your desired design.

Step 2

Lay the first sheet of iron-on-on face down onto the mat, make sure that all of your images have been mirrored in Design Space before loading the mat into the machine. Select iron-on as the material you would like to cut and start cutting.

Once the cut is complete, repeat the steps for each sheet of iron-on until all of the project is cut.

Step 3

Next weed all of the iron-on sheets by taking off all of the iron-on, leaving only the designs on the clear carrier sheet. Once weeded cut around all of the individual pieces.
