Hi there, Dingbats! What a heck is that?? Silhouette Studio Software lets us use any font installed on ourPC's.   DaFont.com is one of many webisites, where you can find a lot of image/icon fonts (Dingbats). Install the Dingbat you going to use, restart Silhouette Studio, in this tutorial I use Mellow Fonts 1 Open The the text style window Type in the Dingbat font that you are going to use.

Hi there, To make text curve around a circle in Silhouette Studio can be a little bit tricky. Open Silhouette Studio and select the Draw an Ellipse  tool. A .  In the work area draw a circle, and to make it round hold down your "shift key " in the same time        that you draw your circel. B.   Write your text, chose your fonts and text size in the Text Style Window. C.   Double click the text so you get the bright green box around it.   On the left side of the box, a little circle with directional arrows will appear.  Grab it and drag it over to the circle you drew.   The text will wrap around the circle. You can move the text to position it exactly where you want it on the circle by dragging that little circle with the arrows around the circle or inside of it to get the text to wrap around the inside of the circle. The small handle next to the litle circlecross, you can adjust how narrow you want your text to be to the circel line.
