I need to make the shape of a X-Mas tag

[davey1903 0]

I'm new at this whole thing of cutting vinyl. A customer has asked me to make a vinyl decal that is shaped like a x-mas tag You knoe the one that would be rectangled but at one end it would go towards a poin but not an exact point. I'm making these to install on cars at a local car dealership. Is ther another software package that would have this. I could also use different car logos too.

Here is what I did. I set my grid and turned on "snap to grid"

Used Polyline to create my outline

Created a circle

Selected both

Arrange + Combine.

Scale to fit your application.

careful using car logos.

if they are new car dealers then they are likely authorized to use the images, if its a used car dealer, probably not.

its your responsibility to make sure you do not break the law.

Heres the cheater way that works good.. 

Find a LEGAL image.

Google image search works well.

Image search something like "Christmas tag clipart" or "gift tag clipart" (play around with words for best results)

when you find the simplest and biggest one, open it all th way, then save it to your pictures.

then open your signblazer program.

go to FILE - IMPORT. Then find your picture, where ever you saved it.

Then Import it.

Now that is an unuseable form and you cutter won't cut it.

So click on it, then go to IMAGE - MODE - MONOCHROME 1 BIT. and play with that scroll for best result.

then hit OKAY, then go back to IMAGE - VECTORIZE and press OKAY and you now have a cuttable image.

GOOD LUCK!
