Step 9Arrange on P1.svg
It's time to choose how big you want your decorations to be.
Making your decoration fit
I decided I wanted 6 decorations on my P1.svg. I resized the decoration and then tiled it so that 6 bells fitted within the safe area.
Tiling
Tiling is a way to arrange shapes so they fit within a certain area. In this way, you'll use the material as economically as possible. You'll need to copy and paste the decoration 5 more times and rotate it to fit.
Watch the video to see how I tiled the bells.
Note: this movie seems to pause after 11 seconds of playing. You can continue playing the movie if you nudge the slider forward and click play again.
You can also have a go at creating some other shapes. Inkscape has some good shape tools which you can use to create custom decorations. See the image below for some examples.
