Information

      Made an image in xArt of the grinch with a Christmas tree in line art.
I didn't like the Christmas tree, so deleted it and was left over with the Grinch and made a 2 layered hanging Grinch.

I used xArt and the line art, to make an image of the Grinch with a Christmas tree. Opened the edit image tab and removed the background and the Christmas tree. I copied the image and used that image to remove the legs.

Did the same for the shoes and the head, so that i ended up with the body, head, legs and feet.

Before i used the outline, i set all the image settings to engrave and set the power and speed settings.

I then clicked on each image and used the outline button and set it to zero.

Once that was done, i inserted a circle to place on each image where i wanted the holes to be, to insert the hoops later on.

I set all the outlines settings to cut and put in the power and speed settings.

Once all the pieces were engraved and cut, i painted the edges with black, so it would pop out more.

After i cleaned it, i added the white, red and green colors.

I then attached the head to the body with glue, so it became 2 layers and added hoop rings to the holes and a little rope

to the top for hanging.
