Make your own Heart Puzzle - Valentines Special
Remix
Instruction
This is the remix project in which i'll show how to mask an image to create your own heart shaped puzzle.
Sanded the wood too much that resulted in very visible scratches. Always sand lightly :D
Note that precision is the key. If you want your puzzle to be loose - simply make the Heart Ring a bit bigger. A little mismatch in gluing the pink ring will result in puzzle pieces not fitting.
This remix is based on
DesignsByShiroFocus on this Remix is on creating a mask for the heart shape.
Lets wrap up the Heart Ring and the base:
Print and cut Canvas 2 (Pink Ring)
Cut the Canvas 3 (Base)
Now lets get down on how to mask your own image for the puzzle
Note the coordinates of the Heart Placement on the puzzle piece. Write it down some where - you will need them to put your own custom heart back.
The heart photo in the project has a cut outline. Move it to the side along side your new image as shown above
Move the heart over the image and align the square box accordingly.
Once its aligned as per your design. Select both the image and the heart shape vector and click on Create Mask
This will show what will be the result, you can still move it around to get your desired part in the shape.
Once finalized, click done on the top right corner
You will now have to move back this heart image on the puzzle piece. Make sure you place it in a way that has proper cuts. if you place it wrong you may end up with very tiny pieces. If you copied the coordinates of the heart, plug them in - so its positioned perfectly or you can place it yourself. Simply double check the cut before actual cutting.
Now Provide outline to this image with 0 offset and provide the cut settings
Perform the Print first, followed by the cut.
