It's so hard to find something that my husband would like. It's especially hard to make something for him (other than food) that he finds cool, until I made hims this Space Invaders ornament.
I have a
Cricut Mini, but as I said before, its not very useful when you want to cut your own designs. To cut this space invaders vinyl I printed out
this image that I found on the internet. I did multiple sizes because I wasn't sure which one would fit the best. After finding the best fit I cut out the image and taped it onto a piece of black contact paper. Then I used and
exacto knife to hand cut the image (which isn't as hard as it sounds). You do want to shift the pixels over a little on some of the diagonal pieces so the image is attached on a small corner.
