Join us for this "how to use" the Cricut CNC to create putz houses! What are putz houses? Beginning in the early 19th century, putz villages became elaborate scenes atop tables and fireplace mantels and reflected a holiday or season of the year.

In this workshop in the crafts area at Makersmiths Leesburg, we will use a free Davenport house template from Paper Glitter Glue website to cut out the pieces to make either a fall center piece PUTZ house or turn it into a spooky house just in time for Halloween.

This workshop is designed to help the novice or intermediate user of Cricut learn how to import a project template into Cricut Design Space software that is free to load into your laptop computer. We will learn to convert cut lines into score lines, group and ungroup objects, use the cut and scoring tools and so much more.

What do you need to bring? Bring a laptop with Cricut Design Space software already loaded. It runs on WIN or Mac computers. Then visit https://paperglitterglue.com/ and click on the library link, scroll to the bottom of the page, and subscribe (it is free) so you will get the password in a newsletter in order to obtain the Davenport project files. Don't worry- your instructor will show you how to download the files you will use in Cricut Design Space. We will have three Cricut machines to use in the workshop, but if you have one, be sure to bring it!

For each registrant willing to share a Cricut, the registrant may bring one friend, child or spouse.

We will supply the card board needed to cut your house pieces that you will assemble and decorate at home. It will make a fun family project!
