HAPPY MAY THE FOURTH EVERYONE!!  Do I even need to say anything else?  🙂

We are celebrating by adding everyone’s favorite new droid to our popular Star Wars  Party Pattern series!

Well, almost… As you can imagine, today is a pretty hectic day around here, so I did not get the downloadable pattern done yet.  If you guys bear with me, and check back in a day or 2, I promise I will have the vector pattern up soon!!!  UPDATE!  The pattern is now added at the bottom of the post (pdf and jpeg)

In the meantime, for you guys who have not seen our other designs, scroll down to take a look at a few, and find links to all of them!

As always, we ask you not to make and sell these.  A, because LucasFilm Ltd. and Disney owns the rights to all characters, and B, because we made the designs and it would be unfair for you to make money off them.  We also we want to remind you that we should get credit when the patterns are used.  So, if you show your work using our designs anywhere (online as well), put a “Pattern © Anette Nam Design” and link to “Maythefourthbewithyouparty.com” somewhere close by. THANK YOU!

Needed:

• Black T-shirt
• Silhouette Cameo Cutting Machine (or X-acto Knife if you are doing it by hand)
• Silhouette Cameo Smooth Heat Transfer (White, Lime Green, Blue, Orange & Grey)
• BB-8 May the Fourth be with You Party T-shirt Pattern (download pdf here)
• Iron
• Thin Cotton Fabric (such as sheet or pillowcase)

X-acto Knife

How To:

1. Down-load the pattern below.
2. Load and convert the pdf file on computer, and reverse the image.
3. Cut out on Cameo.  (There are lots and lots of great You Tube tutorials on how to use your Cameo to cut out vinyl, so I will not get into how to use the machine here.)  OR print out on printer, place on vinyl and cut through both paper and vinyl layers by hand (NOT the clear plastic layer).
4. Weed the vinyl sheet (get rid of all the unwanted little pieces). I find an X-acto knife is best for this.
5. Close cut the shapes, so there is just a little bit of the sticky clear plastic around each piece.
6. Lay them out (sticky side down) on the T-shirt, cover with cotton fabric, and iron for about a minute (on cotton setting, with no steam).
7. Carefully peel the clear plastic off.
8. Let cool for a while.
