How to get a nice outline for your Silhouette Cameo

I found it really hard to get proper cutting outlines for the Silhouette Cameo (though this should work with any cutting machine), so I worked up a routine to do it.

1. Using a drawing program (in this case I used the open source Inkscape vector drawing program) open a new file.

2. Paste in the picture you want to trace into the first layer. Drag the image to the center and zoom in.

3. Create a new layer (Inkscape is tricky in that their cancel is on the left rather than the right, so make sure to hit the button that says “add”).

4. Select layer two and then the pencil tool.

5. Drag the pencil smooth bar to around 45. Trace the image. The default should be a black line about 1pt thick.

6. Hide the layer with the photograph. Save the outline as a png image with “save as”.

7.  Open the png in Silhouette Studio.

8. Go to the trace window and select “Trace Area”.

9. Ignore the white background from your image and select around the black outline. Slide the “scale” setting down to 4.

10. Select “trace” and separate the image from the outline.

12. Delete the old image if it’s in your way.

13. Size the red cut shape to the size you want.

14. Cut out according to instructions for your chosen medium. I cut a cardstock outline of my bunny.
