X-Files Darkness Falls Little Green Bugs


     An X-Files Darkness Falls party would hardly be complete without some little green mites crawling around.  Removable vinyl makes it possible to stick a lot of these little buggers to your wall and remove them easily once you're done.  If you keep the non-stick sheet you cut them on, you may be able to store them and reuse them for a future party.


Materials:

*Removable vinyl in lime green
*Silhouette CAMEO or other die cutter (could potentially be done by hand, but I would not recommend)

Directions:

*Import this little green bug template into your Silhouette or other die cutting machine's software program.


*"Trace" the template following the directions for your machine's software program.  If you have a Silhouette CAMEO, you can check out this post for some info on how to create a cut file from a template.

*Create many, many copies of the bugs, as many as you can comfortably fit on a 12"x12" sheet of vinyl.

*Place a 12"x12" square of removable vinyl on your cutting mat in accordance with the directions on the package.

*Load the vinyl into your cutting machine and cut using the vinyl settings.

*Peel bugs off the cutting mat and stick to your wall.

*Once you're done with the bugs, they should peel up off the wall fairly easily.  They may stick a bit to other surfaces, however.  For example, I also put some on the TV, and those ones were a bit more challenging to remove.  You may want to place one down and peel it up as a test to make sure that it peels off easily enough for your liking.
