Printing it
- Print at 100% or "Actual size". "Fit to page" shrinks everything, so the circles won't fit your press.
- Keep faces and words inside the green dots. Anything between the blue dashes and the cut line wraps around the side of the button.
- The PNG has a see-through background: lay it over your design in Canva to see where each circle falls, then hide it before you download your design.
- The SVG cut file has only the cut lines, for a Cricut, Silhouette or laser cutter.
- This is a typical cut size for 2¼" buttons. Machines vary a little, so check your press's instructions before a big batch.
