Hi Colette!
Do you have a Silhouette machine? If so, where are you getting stuck? I would be happy to send more detailed instructions if the blog post isn’t enough. If not, you can cut these by hand!

Bonjour,
Je découvre vos DIY et j’adore ! Merci pour le temps passé à nous expliquer tous ces beaux modèles ???????????? je like les barrettes ❤️❤️❤️ et je vais essayer avec ma fille.
Merci merci beaucoup ????
What are the dimensions of each barrette that you used?
Mine were about 8 inches long and 2.5 inches wide for printing!
Hello,
I’m curious about the cut settings you used on the Cameo. Did you use a cutting mat, or a special blade? I really want to make some of these for my family!
Hi Amy!
I used a normal ratchet blade, and Silhouette Studio has shrink plastic in the materials list! But for reference, these are the settings: Blade-6, Force-33, Speed-1, Passes-2. I hope this helps! Send us a picture if you make some!

Hi Sam,
Thanks for answering my question! I have some of the old fashioned Shrinky Dink material, and it is not cutting well, which is a real bummer, but I am hoping to try with the Kraft blade in my carriage 2 on my Cameo 4. I will send pictures if I get it to work, along with the (hopefully) successful cut settings.
