tiger

[wtam]

I've been away from this site for awhile , but I'm getting back into the swing of things now. Does anyone have a tiger cut file, that is what our schools stands for. we just had some renovations done and I would like to have a tiger to put in there. If you have a cut file for a tiger(not for a baby) would please email me this cut file.
thanks

Tigers are tough! So many pieces to make the stripes.

Here's something for you to play with if you have tweezers for the pieces.

Try homemade transfer tape from clear contact paper (made 'old' by touching to clothing a bit). Some folks recommend Glad Press n Seal but I found that it wasn't sticky enough to securely hold the pieces for me. I think I found the wonderful link to someones tutorial from here (I want to give her credit but don't know the site... she also used drywall mesh to help transfer so you could search for that as well.)

I used the plastic sheet that covers your cricut cutting mat. I had a mat that most of the glue stuck to the cover sheet. So I took it a step further and using the idea of some of the folks on this site I used the Zig glue to cover the piece of plastic and let it dry. It didn't pull up all of the cut really easily but because I could see through it I could easily use a tool to make sure it all came up. After I had it all up I glued it with Zig again and placed it on the background. Once again, because you can see through it it is easier to place. I put the plastic back over the mat so it is ready for the next time. It worked really well.

I don't remember her posted the drywall mesh either, but it works great. The clear contact paper may not work except for vinyl, Talanhart recommends that.

FIRSTCUT from http://cleversomeday.wordpress.com was the first person I remember to talk about the drywall mesh. I'm pretty sure that you will find it on her site.
