Christmas Hippo SVG | A Hippopotamus for Christmas!

Have you ever heard the song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"?

This layered papercraft project was inspired by that tune! I love the idea of unwrapping a gigantic hippo as a new pet on Christmas morning!

If you too have dreamed of your own hippopotamus for Christmas, now you CAN have one... and he is much easier to take care of than a real one!

I cut my design at 7.5 inches wide (6.726 tall). I don't recommend going smaller than about 4 inches in width as some of the cuts will get a little bit too tiny and hard to stick.

***** HOW TO USE *****

After purchase you will be given a link to download the files.

You must unzip the downloaded folder before you can use the files.

If you are using a phone/tablet then you may need to install an app/program to allow you to unzip files.

The zip folder contains the design in these formats: SVG, DXF, PNG

For Cricut Design Space, ScanNCut Canvas software and Silhouette Studio (Business Edition) use the SVG file. This is one where the filename starts with SVG_ and ends in .svg

For the free version of Silhouette Studio (Basic Edition), use the DXF file. This is the one where the filename starts with DXF_ and ends in .dxf

Please note that the PNG file included shows all layers separately on the page. It is not a completed "clip art" style image.

You may need to resize the design when it opens in your cutting machine software. All the layers are grouped, so you can easily resize them all at the same time and they will all stay in proportion with each other.

***** PLEASE NOTE *****

This is a digital file which you will be able to download after purchase.

Nothing will be physically shipped to you in the post/mail.
