How do you make a 7 foot tree out of vinyl

Sheri · January 19

I would like to make a huge tree on my grandaughters wall. I dont know where to start. I was hoping maybe this could be shown on the webinar this coming tuesday but I did not see a discussion anywhere to ask for this request. I am looking for a tree with no leaves on it. Just branches. Can anyone turn me in the right direction. I am using a cricut. I am using version 4.0.4
Thank you
Sheri

The Webinar dated 5/24/2011 has a discussion on the Tiler feature. It is 1:36:10 into the video. You can find it here

You can acquire the Tiler feature by Berryone's suggestion or...
1. Using the shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+N or
2. Clicking on the Wrench Icon

The tiler feature is really neat! There are several good samples on the forum.

I watched the webinar and I have a few questions. First of all when they ask for the size of mat Bryan put in 12x12. What if you put in 12x24 which one is considered the width and the height? I am thinking the width would be 12 and height would be 24. Question 2, I noticed that the pieces showed up in the no cut zone on the mats. Do you have to move all of them so they will cut?
Thank you all for your help.

I also have been searching for a nice tree with just branches but am not finding what I want. Do any of you have any ideas for me? I also need the questions answered in my previous post. Thank you

@Sheri, see if any of these work: http://all-silhouettes.com/?s=trees

See If Any Of These Will Work For You.

Sheri · January 22

Cheryl,
Those are close to what I am looking for. The dead looking trees. I am looking for one that has less branches.

CherylC · January 22

You can always remove some of the branches using node editing

Sheri · January 22

This is what I am looking for minus the blossoms.

Cheryl,
I do not know anything about node editing. I hardly know the basics. I mosting have only done projects with text. I really do need to learn more.
Berryone,
Thank you for all the trees. There is one that might possibly work. I like the bare one but it might be a little to bare and the next one that you have with the leaves to go with it it just a little to much.

Here Are More For You To Look At.

Sheri · January 22

whoops, there no attachment Berryone

Berryone · January 22

There It Is

Sheri · January 22

Thank you

Berryone · January 22

One Last One

Sheri · January 22

That is like almost perfect. I wonder if the trunk could be straightened out a bit.
Thank you

Berryone · January 22

...

Sheri · January 23

Perfect, Thank you so much.

Grma24luvs · January 23

Thanks for the tree!
@Calgalcr8s and @Berryone or anyone else!
I brought in an elephant I had and tiled him ok. but when I bring this tree in and tile it to 70" using a mat portrait 14 x 24, the oddest thing....the tree tiles but you can see it exceeds the mat. the trunk does not cut at 24 it just stays the 70 inches.
What am I doing wrong?

@Grma24luvs

These Are My Settings
I Don't Know If You'll Need The X,Y Offset

1 Wouldn't Use My Settings or File (Cuz That's A lot Of Vinyl To Waste)

Grma24luvs · January 23

@Berryone, THANK YOU! Of course it's always operator error,lol, at least with me, the program itself is great....you made me take a close look at the dimensions.....apparently I did not imput the tile numbers......somehow I had the 70" as the vertical size tile....Now I see what I did, thanks to you :)

Tiler Topic Begins at Pg 109
The Settings They're For The ZING
I Think The Tile Height and Width For a Cricut Have to Be Ser At Less Than 11.5
I'm Not Sure What The Offsets Are Used For

ImaCutter · January 23

I so want to do something like this in my next house!!!! I even put it on my ointerest to save for later. LOVE it!! I grabbed the file, Dave! THX!!!!

ImaCutter · January 24

Want to hear something crazy? I put this picture with the cherry blossoms on pinterest to refer back to for when we move. I would love to do this in a room. I have had that picture repinned now over 90 times in like less than two hours. Crazy if you ask me!!!

Berryone what was the link to that tree picture you gave to sheri I have been trying to figure out how to do this for weeks? I haven't found a tree that would work yet.

reallyrenee · February 5

Yes! Please share. I would like to add the tree to my new scraproom.
Thanks!

Berryone · February 6

@ajarriel @reallyrenee

That Tree Has No Link To It
Bryan Just Did A Webinar on That Tree. The MTC File In This Post Has SVG and Jpeg In The Notes
