Pig with Cricut

Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite animals are pigs. I collect pigs, draw pigs, and today I made a pig with my Cricut and Gypsy. This project was made with the George and Basic Shapes cartridge on the Gypsy. Posted are pictures of the pieces I cut both before and after gluing them together.










To make this Pig with the Gypsy * This entire project was made using the Geroge and Basic Shapes cartridge.

1. The pigs body
   • The pigs body is made using an oval rotated sideways.
   • Connected to the Oval are 4 U's merged together for the feet.
   • The pigs ears are 2 C's rotated and merged together.
   • The tail is a series of C's rotated and merged according to how curly you want the tail to be.
2. The outline
   • The pieces were copied to a second layer and cut out to make the outlines.
   • The black nose is just a circle with two lower case L's cut for the inside.
3. White layer
   
   • The white layer consist solely of two circles for the eyes.
4. The mouth
   • The mouth is the inside of an upper case D.
5. Putting together
   • The pieces were then glued together in order to make the pig as shown.
