Using the shapes icon choose a circle.

Remove and delete all shapes apart from the rabbit with the hole.
Highlight the cut rabbit, click on 'Actions' followed by 'duplicate' five times to make six napkin rings.
Once happy with the design, click the green 'make it' button. You will then be taken through to the mat preview screen, arrange your napkin ring images on the mats page so that they fit your piece of basswood to have the least wastage possible. Click 'continue'.
Once through to the machine set up screen, click on 'Browse all materials' and type 'basswood' into the search bar. Choose basswood.
Apply the basswood to the purple StrongGrip mat, using masking tape on all four sides to secure it in place. Load your mat and complete the cut.
As a number of passes with the knife blade are required to cut the design an estimated time to cut will appear on the screen.
Carefully peel away the cutting mat from the basswood. Your napkin rings are then ready to use!
