Inserted the picture into XCS and removed the background.

Then i did the outline and set it to zero. Once i had the outline, i removed the original picture.

I then added the cactus picture, removed the background and did an outline of the cactus (set to zero), made the cactus outline smaller

so it would fit in the middle of the round circle in the middle.

Let it overlap a tiny bit and clicked on unite.

I inserted a circle and put it in the top middle of the dream catcher, then clicked unite.

Inserted another circle to fit in the united circle then clicked on group, so the middle circle can't move.

I inserted another circle for the bottom part and copy and pasted the circle and moved them on the spot i wanted them.

After it overlapped the dream catcher circle a little bit, i clicked the unite button.

Then added the other circles to go inside those circles, like i did with the top circle, then hoovered over the whole image

and right clicked to group, so the little circles can't move.

After all that was done, i set the settings to 40 power and 8 speed, clicked on progress,

then clicked the button on the machine to cut.

I used a glitter acrylic for the dream catcher.

For the hanging cactus, i used iridescent acrylic and cut those separate with same settings.

Used some plastic rope i had, to attach it to the holes and added a tassel to each cactus.


Hope you like this dream catcher. Instead of the cactus, you can always insert some other image you like in the middle

and as hanging pieces and you can use wood also if you like, besides the acrylic.
