      My daughter wanted a cute design for above her bed that had her name. She loves sunflowers so I decided to make a sunflower with her name in the middle.

  • This was designed in a different program and saved as an SVG
  • Imported into XCS
  • Seperated the center section and deleted it. I wanted it to be a solid circle.
  • Create an offset outline of the sunflower. 
    • I used a little bit of an offset but you can also make it flush if you like. I wanted to give it more depth. 
  • Make a copy of the flower. Delete the outline on one of them and seperate the circle from it as well.
  • On the flower with the outline set the outline only to “cut”
    • Add two smaller circle at the top for hanging
      • set those to "cut"
  • On the second flower that you deleted the outline make sure its set to “cut” as well as the seperated inner circle.
  • Now add your text and set to “cut”
    • If you use a cursive text dont forget to weld the text together on the right side panel

I sprayed painted both boards yellow and the inner circle brown.

I then used the scored lines to help me glue my pieces on the backer board.

I spray painted the text white and glue that in the center of my flower.

  • I use painters tape to hold down smaller pieces so they don't blow away when spray painting
