The simple answer is cut everything for the doll in the same size as you cut the doll. So if your doll is 3″ then cut hair, shoes, dress whatever all on 3″ and it all fits. Doesn’t matter which style you pick and you can mix and match.

For those who like a longer explanation see below

First I discovered from a youtube video sorry cant remember the persons name how to number my book which makes life easy.

Start at the first actual page of cutouts and number it 1. Follow through the rest and number all following pages.

Since there are ten keys across your machine when you are looking for a particular page eg: 26 then you know it is on the 3rd line down and 6 keys in from the left.

akes much more sense when you watch the video.

So to make the doll – first load your paper into the machine ensuring you have the cartridge in place.

1. Decide on which version of the body that you want to cut out.

The difference is in the face, since I use pens to draw in the face – I use the
Blackout doll which is on Page 28 in the manual. However if you adopt the numbering system suggested it becomes page 1.

o load the paper press BLACKOUT button and then the body key which is on the 1st line and the first button from the left of the keypad.

2. Decide on the size of doll youwant and use the size dial to select it.

I have found 3″ is a good size for the cards I have been using – also not too small to start practising on. Press cut and hey presto one doll.

3. Next decide what you want to dress the doll.
To start with hair, load machine with appropriate paper colour, have a look at the manual and decide which hairstyle you want. To do the cheerleader hairstyle first select HEADWEAR then press the button on the third line down – two to the right. (Manual page 35 or No 22 in other system)

Check that you size dial is still on 3″ – I manage to change mine by accident when unloading and reloading paper.

Then press cut and there is your hair

3. You can then repeat this operation on each of the desired accessories.

One other thing it is very straight forward to cut several things at once by repeating the sequence.

So to cut two bodies at the same time press BLACKOUT then first key first line then repeat press BLACKOUT then first key first line – if you do not press blackout at the begining of the repeat the cricut will revert to the original paper doll on the left of the manual with a cut out face.

Hope this helps stumbling my way through and grateful for all the help I have received from other people
