Creating this 3D airplane is as easy as it gets! It takes less than 5 minutes to cut and assemble since there is no glue or teeny tiny pieces involved. I even used printable silver foil to give it that shiny airplane look.
What you’ll need:
- Silhouette CAMEO®, Portrait®, or Curio™
- chipboard
- printable silver foil
Step One
Ungroup the design and move the red shapes to the side. Cut the three tan shapes out of chipboard.
Step Two
Change your paper size to letter to fit the printable silver foil. Move the tan shapes off to the side and place the red shapes on your workspace. You’ll need to flip one of the shapes that goes on the side of the plane so it fits correctly. Cut these out of printable silver foil.
Step Three
Peel off the foil shapes and stick them on the corresponding chipboard shapes.
Step Four
Assembling the airplane couldn’t be easier. Just slide the pieces in place with the silver foil facing up.
Since it’s made of chipboard, the airplane is sturdy enough for most kids preschool age and older to play with.

You can use it with vinyl as long as it is smooth and flat to allow the static charge to hold on to it. Rolled vinyl that wants to go back to its rolled shape will not necessarily work well, and it would need to be trimmed to fit the ES mat cutting area.

Yes, you can use the heat pen while using the ES mat. 🙂

Once you’ve pushed the mat up against the rollers, just press the “Load” arrow button (bottom right on the display). Does a regular sticky mat load into the machine for you?
