  • I brought in a design a had done for a previous project and sized it down to 3.5" x 3.5"
  • create another circle 3.5" x 3.5"
  • create an inner outline so there is a frame
  • create another smaller circle and place at the top of the circle with the frame just overlapping a bit
    • Select both the outer circle and the small circle and “unite”
    • create another smaller circle to fit inside of the small circle that is now attached 
    • make sure they are set to “cut”
  • Insert text “PRIDE” with the stencil font
  • Place it on the smaller circle inside the the frame
    • Make sure its the text is set to “cut”
  • Now select all the text and two circles and group them

I sanded my top piece that says “PRIDE” with 800 grit sand paper it gives it a nice smooth finish and I spray with with a finishing spray.

Step7: Notes

If you want you can actually delete the inner circle that the pride is on. Just leave the text and delete the inner circle.
