Handprint Eagle Craft with Free SVG
A child's handprints make the feathers for this eagle craft - perfect for the 4th of July crafting. :-)
There will be two different svgs in this bundle - the "Uncle Sam Hat" is for a separate craft, I'll add the tutorial for that one soon!
For this one, you want the Eagle SVG.
Upload the svg, resize the group to 12.887 wide by 8.77 tall.
Then change the colors of each item. Either ungroup them, or just select one item at a time from the layers menu on the right.
Fold a piece of white copy paper in half, trace your childs handprint. Cut, giving you two handprints. We liked copy paper for this rather than cardstock - it made the "feathers" lighter, and is easier to cut.
We used a glue stick to assemble everything except the googly eye - we always use hot glue to attach our googly eyes. And we hot glued a magnet on the back... I buy packs of magnets at the Dollar Tree, and we attach them to the back of most of my grandsons crafts.

Where To Find Free SVGS For 3d Paper Projects
A list by Project Type
===================
Note - My long alphabetical list of sites with free svgs has been flagged as spam and removed by blogger. :-( I don't know if I will be able to recover it, or come up with a better option for posting it, so for now I'm attempting to split the list into smaller lists, and see if Blogger will allow that.
Where To Find Free SVGS
Where To Find Free SVGS |
I say it often - paying for Cricut Access is renting cut files. You cannot download them to your device, and as soon as you stop paying your rental fee, you lose access to all of those images, unless you purchase them. For some, this works great. It's like netflix for svgs. For me, I'd rather purchase one or two designs, than rent thousands I will never use.
And there is SO much available for free. You can spend hours each week just downloading free svgs, without ever paying a dime. Legitimate, real, layered cut files - not clipart you have to remove the background and clean up to use. Although you can certainly create cut files from clipart too. There are so many options. As with most of my posts here, I'll start with the "Quick Links" version - for those of you who want to get straight to it. Below those links is a longer, more detailed, explanation of where to find the lists, how to search, how to use my facebook group (I use topics and units there - so it's a little different than what most of you may be used to).
Quick Links:
- Free SVGS By Theme

- Facebook Group Where I build the "Free by Theme" posts

============
First, How To Use Free SVGS In Design Space
Here is a step by step:
If you upload the SVG and you have the option to "clean it up", or the option to save as either a print then cut or a cut image - you probably uploaded the wrong file. SVGS look like html files.
For more information on what each of the files are that typically come in a download:

Where To Find
The FREE SVGS
==========
Across the top of every page on this blog is a "header" with a list of options. If you click on "Free SVGS" a menu will drop down with some quick links, such as the list of sites with free svgs, the Free SVGS by theme index, etc.
============
This Weeks List Of On Sale For Free
A good place to start is with my list, updated weekly, of "On Sale For Free" Svgs. These are typically svgs and fonts you would normally have to pay for, but that are offered "on sale for free" for a limited time, to introduce you to the site and the designers work. There are SO many freebies added each week. Most of the svgs and fonts on this list will come with a commercial use license, so you can use them on items you make to sell. I typically update the list on Thursdays, and I post on my facebook page when it is updated.
In addition, I keep a list of sites that frequently offer a new "Daily Free" svg, and sites that have a "freebie friday", new free svg each week.
Daily Free SVG:
Freebie Friday Sites:
===========
Free SVGS By Theme
I'm a compulsive list maker. On this site, and in my facebook group, I'veattempted to put my obsession to good use. :-) If you go to the Index of free theme svgs, there you will find categories such as Gnomes, Disney, Birthday, Paper Flowers, Earrings... and so many more. Click on each category to be taken to a page where I list the free svgs and where to download them. Typically the pages are in the format of Commercial Use svgs first, followed by Personal Use Svgs, followed by Projects, all in that theme.
If there is a theme you are looking for that is not in the index, be sure to check out my facebook group. That's where I "build" these themed posts, and there's a ton there that has not yet made it to the blog. In that group, I create a post, and then I add links as I come across them, in the comments.
Find the Group:
Cricut Tips, Tricks, Tutorials & More -
==============
Then there's the Site list.
Here I alphabetically list all of the sites I am aware of that offer free svgs. I try to add notes for each - labeling which is commercial use, which have mostly paper crafting designs, which require you to sign up to receive their emails in order to download, etc. The list is constantly growing, and I am constantly adding information. At last count, I believe there were more than 100 sites listed. I highlight my favorites at the top.
==========
Finding SVGS In My Facebook Group
I post a lot on both my facebook page, and also in my facebook group. In the group, everyone can ask questions, share projects, request me to watch for certain themed svgs, etc. In the midst of all of that, the Free SVG posts can sometimes get lost - but you can find them under "Topics".
On the page for the group, you will see options such as discussion, media, etc. Click on Topics.
When you click on any of the topics shown, it will take you to the posts that I have tagged with that topic.
There's also a Getting Started Unit in the group:
Clicking on each post in the "unit" will walk you through the basics of how this facebook group works, and where to find things.
You can also use the search box inside of a facebook group, to search for posts such as "making tumblers", or "free Dr Seuss Svgs".
===========
In addition to the facebook group, I have a facebook page.
The page is public - anyone can see that without joining. Every mornings I post a daily list of free fonts and free svgs here.

How To Create Your Own
Cut Files
==========
Sometimes all of those options are still not enough, and you will want to create your own svg.
If the svg will be 100% text - just use Fontlab Pad. Type your text, save as an svg.
Quick and easy!
Simple clipart images are easy to "clean up" using the eraser and wand when uploading to Design Space. Here's a step by step:
Here's a comparison of some of the sites and software that will convert an image into an svg for you
Inkscape is the most popular free program for creating svgs from scratch.
But I, personally, do not find it simple to use. Here are some tips that may help -

Cup of Tea for Mom
I will try my best in every way,
To be extra sweet on Mother’s Day.
But if you become upset with me,
Please relax and have a cup of tea!

Nobel Prize for Mothers
Mom, you are a shining star.
Though the world doesn’t know your name.
You have no fancy title
Like Baroness or Dame.
Mom, you really are a star,
My mother, mentor, and friend.
A Nobel Prize for motherhood,
That is what I’d recommend!
And if I won the lottery
I’d share my win with you
I’d take you, Mom, on a spending spree
Each day the whole year through!
You may not be famous,
As your face is known to few.
But Mom, I think you are wonderful
And I’m so proud of you!

God’s Helpers
God could not be in every place
With loving hands to help erase
The teardrops from each baby’s face,
And so He thought of mother.
He could not send us here alone
And leave us to a fate unknown;
Without providing for His own,
The outstretched arms of mother.
God could not watch us night and day
And kneel beside our crib to pray,
Or kiss our little aches away;
And so He sent us mother.
And when our childhood days began,
He simply could not take command.
That’s why He placed our tiny hand
Securely into mothers.
The days of youth slipped quickly by,
Life’s sun rose higher in the sky.
Full grown were we, yet ever nigh
To love us still was mother.
And when life’s span of years shall end,
I know that God will gladly send,
To welcome home her child again,
That ever-faithful mother.
Author — George W Wiseman

Proverbs 31
1 The sayings of King Lemuel--an oracle [1] his mother taught him:
2 "O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, [2]
3 do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel-- not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.
8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
