How Do You Make a Cookie Cutter on Silhouette Alta?

Making a cookie cutter on the Silhouette Alta is a simple and fun project. It can be used to make unique and creative cookies for any occasion.

All you need is your Silhouette Alta, some cardstock, and an adhesive like spray adhesive or double-sided tape.

To get started, cut a piece of cardstock to the desired size of the cookie cutter. It should be slightly bigger than the final cookie cutter shape that you want to create. Place the cardstock on the cutting mat with the adhesive side facing up.

Next, open up your Silhouette software and select “Design” from the top menu. From there, you have two options: either draw a shape from scratch or choose from one of the pre-made shapes in the library.

Draw Your Own Shape:

If you want to make a custom shape for your cookie cutter, select “Draw” from the left menu and then draw your desired shape with your mouse. Make sure that it is within the boundaries of your cardstock piece. When you are finished drawing, click “Done” and then click “Send to Silhouette” at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Choose From Pre-made Library:

If you would prefer to choose a pre-made shape from their library, select “Shapes” from the left menu and browse through their library until you find one that fits your needs. When you have found it, click on it to select it and then click “Send to Silhouette” at the bottom right corner of the screen.

The next step is to load up your cutting mat into your Silhouette Alta machine by placing it in with the adhesive side facing down. Then press start in order for it to begin cutting out your desired shape.

Once it is done cutting out your shape, carefully remove it from the mat and peel off any excess adhesive. Now you have a beautiful custom cookie cutter that was made with just your trusty Silhouette Alta!

Conclusion:

All you need is some cardstock or heavy paper stock, an adhesive like spray adhesive or double-sided tape, as well as access to their library of pre-made shapes or ability to draw one yourself with their software.
