| Minion Slippers |
Like most crafters with an SVG cutting machine, I am always looking for interesting cutting files. One of my favorite sites is Kadoodle Bug Designs. While I was browsing the site for a suitable image for my gift bag I decided to checkout the Freebie section. This week's freebie is the Crazy Hat Bear. He's so cute with his Minion style hat. I decided to use the jpg image from the downloaded file.

| Crazy Hat Bear Gift Bag |
Directions for Crazy Hat Bear Gift Bag:
Crazy Hat Bear zip file from Kadoodle Bug Designs
Medium white gift bag-available at craft stores
Pink Satin Ribbon
White card stock- letter size (8 1/2 x 11 inch)
Glue
Cutting machine with Print and Cut capability- I used Silhouette Cameo (directions will be for the Cameo)
1. Download the Crazy Hat Bear file from Kadoodle Bug Designs. Unzip the file and export the jpg file to the Silhouette machine.
2. Open the Silhouette mat and resize the mat to letter size.
3. Import the Crazy Hat Bear image to the mat and resize to 8.465 x 8.465 inches.
4. Add the registration marks to the Silhouette mat. Make sure the bear fits within the registration marks.
5. Load a sheet of white card stock in the printer. Send the image to the printer.
6. Open the Trace window and turn off the high pass filter and increase the threshold until most of the image is blocked out in yellow. The area inside the eyes may not be blocked out but that will not affect the cutting. Select Trace Outer Edge option. There should be a red outline around the outside of the image.
7. Open the Cut window and select cut outer edge. There should be a thick red line around the outside edge of the bear. Place the printed image on the Silhouette cutting mat and load into the machine and select cut.
8. Unload the cutting mat from the Cameo and remove the cut image.
9. Apply glue to the back of the bear and attach to the front of the gift bag. Cut a piece of pink satin ribbon long enough to tie around the top of the handles of the gift bag and tie in a bow.
