How to Make a Baseball Lace Svg
Contents
Learn how to make a baseball lace svg using this easy tutorial. You’ll need a few supplies and some time to create this fun project.
Introduction
In this instructable, I will be demonstrating how to make a baseball lace svg. This particular svg is great for Cricut or Silhouette machines, but can also be used as a print and cut image. I will also be providing a template for those who do not have a cutting machine.
What You’ll Need
-a new baseball (or one you don’t mind ruining)
-a sharp knife
-a cutting board
-masking tape
-a black Sharpie or other dark permanent marker
-a white pencil or other light colored pencil
-Adobe Illustrator (or another vector editing program)
Step One: Measure and Cut the Laces
The first step to making your baseball lace svg is to measure and cut the laces. You will need two pieces of lace, each about 12 inches long. Once you have your laces, use a sharp pair of scissors to cut them into equal lengths.
Next, you will need to gather your supplies. For this project, you will need a piece of cardstock, a pencil, a ruler, and your trustypair of scissors. Once you have everything gathered, you are ready to begin!
First, take your cardstock and cut it into a rectangle that is 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. Then, use your pencil to mark out the length of the laces on the cardstock. Make sure that each mark is about 1/2 inch from the edge of the cardstock.
Once you have all of your marks made, it is time to start cutting! Using your scissors, carefully cut along the lines that you marked on the cardstock. Be sure to leave a small gap at the top and bottom of each line so that the laces can be easily threaded through later.
Now that your laces are all cut out, it is time to thread them through the cardstock. Start by taking one end of a lace and threading it through the top gap of one of the slits that you cut earlier. Then, take the other end of the lace and thread it through the bottom gap of the same slit. Pull both ends of the lace until the cardstock is pulled tight against the lace. Repeat this process for all four laces.
And there you have it! Your very own baseball lace svg!
Step Two: Make the Slits in the Baseball
Cut two slits in the baseball. The slits should be about an inch long and evenly spaced apart.
To make the slits, insert the blade of a sharp knife into the top of the ball, right above the seam. Apply pressure and drag the blade down the ball until you’ve cut a slit that’s about an inch long. Repeat on the other side of the ball so that you have two slits that are evenly spaced apart.
Step Three: Insert the Laces into the Slits
With the slits cut, it’s time to insert the laces. Take one piece of string and insert one end into the top slit. Then, thread it under the center strip and out the bottom slit. Do the same with the other string, threading it in through the bottom slit and out through the top.
Step Four: Tie the Laces
Now that you have your two baseballs, it’s time to start lacing them together. Take one of the laces and tie it around the “waist” of one of the balls. Then, take the other lace and tie it around the “waist” of the other ball. You should now have two laces, each tied around the “waist” of a different baseball.
Step Five: Cut the Excess Lace
After you have cut the excess lace from the baseball, you will need to cut a small slit in the center of the lace. This will allow you to thread the lace through the baseball.
Step Six: Wear Your Baseball Lace Svg with Pride!
You’ve made it to the end! Now that you have your completed Baseball Lace Svg, it’s time to show it off to the world. If you’re looking for a way to really make your svg stand out, try laminating it. This will give it a extra bit of protection and make it last even longer.
