Using Cuttle with WeCreat MakeIt!
Make a Personalized Ornament with Cuttle and WeCreat MakeIt!
1. Personalize in Cuttle
- Open the Dog Bone Ornament template
- Click Customize this template
- Personalize your name and other options
- Click Download SVG
This design has 3 different operations that we will assign in WeCreat MakeIt!: Fill Engrave to engrave the year and the paw, Line Engrave to score the lines between letters, and Cut to cut the final pieces from our material.
2. Import to WeCreat MakeIt!
- Click on Import
- Select the SVG file you downloaded from Cuttle
3. Configure settings
- Go to the Material menu and choose your material
- Open the Layers menu in the lower left corner
- Select Fill Engrave to engrave, Line Engrave to score, and Cut to cut
- See WeCreat’s previews for each operation to choose the settings
💡 In general, we want keep the operations in this order — Engrave > Score > Cut. To enforce this order in WeCreat MakeIt!, select the By layer order mode.
4. Cut both layers
This ornament has 2 layers.
- Move the layer you don’t want to cut outside the work area
- Print the first layer and move it outside the work area once complete
- Bring the second layer into the work area, swap materials and print the second layer
5. Assemble
- Attach double sided glue behind first layer (Federico uses DualTite Adhesive - use code CUTTLE10 for 10% off)
- Remove protective film, align back layer, and gently press to attach
- Tie a loop through the hole with about 12 inches of string
Your ornament is ready to hang ✨
How to score with WeCreat MakeIt!
WeCreat MakeIt! will place every color from your design as a separate layer.
In the Layers panel in the lower right, find the layer you’d like to score (for example the blue layer). Then make sure this layer’s mode is set to “Line Engrave” and uses a Power/Speed which won’t cut all the way through the material.
