The circles are just paper. I used a little thicker stock and they are tied together with ribbons. I used my Cricut to cut the circles.

This is the cutest shower I have ever seen!! I am trying to put together one for my cousin and wanted to take some inspiration from you. I have a very dumb question but I cannot tell what material the circle backdrop is and how they are connected together. I am doing colors of pink and green and need more decorations, so I thought that would be perfect! Thanks so much!

With the onesie clothes line on the fireplace did you use a ribbon? Also what size clothespins did you use?

Great job!! It is super cute! I am so glad that you were able to get some inspiration from the backdrop I made I didn’t know that you got a cricut. So much fun!! ps- I have not figured out how to cute fabric with it either.

I did all of that, Lisa! And no luck. I even found a tutorial on You Tube and she used blue painters tape to hold the fabric down. I tried that and it still didn’t work! The only thing I didn’t try was a new blade. That may have helped. Once you try it let me know how it works for you!

Drew…i just bought the cricut for that same exact reason! haven’t taken it out of the box yet b/c i am too scared to learn. i was just at the craft store over the weekend and there was a girl doing a cricut demo on cutting fabric! i stayed and picked her brain for over an hour. she said it is a bit “hit or miss”, but when she did the demos, it worked just fine. some of the tips she gave me: use a design that is atleast 5 inches tall, nothing with super intricate cuts (blackout works best), set your blade depth as high as it will go, turn you speed down as low as it will go, make sure the fabric is super flat with no air bubbles. hope this helps. i want to try to make some onesies for christmas gifts and new baby gifts as well.

Those colors are great! Love the details, too. I have recently been trying to use the cricut to cut fabric and even using the blue cutter (deep cut blade) that cuts gumpaste for cakes just fine (www.creativedesignscakes.com) it still snags the fabrics. Too bad, b/c on the infomerical it shows an apple getting easily cut.
My mom said she is going to ask Provo Crafts about any tricks or tips and that she’ll pass them on if she gets them (she is working w/ them on a project for some cricut stuff)…
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I’ve tried all different adhesives and backing and still had trouble cutting fabric…it’s not just you.
LOVE the whole shower…might try and copy the circle idea for my son’s upcoming b.day party.
