Step2: Chickens
Preview
- Find a chicken image (there is one in the xtool creative space; however I used one from another source
- if using another source - trace the image and use that for cutting
- Shrink image to fit with in the inner circle of the top layer of the ornament
- Set chicken image to cut parameters for your machine
