Vintage Sleds – Winter Cut Files

Christmas may be over, but winter is still hanging around for a while. So, today I thought we could have some snowy-season fun! Let’s layer up and take a ride down the nearest hill on one of these cute, vintage sleds.

Aren’t these just so adorable!? I’ve included two different sled styles, so you can pick your favorite or make them both. Either way, putting them together is a cinch!

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Use a cutting machine to X-Acto knife to cut out the pieces.
  2. Fold the main sled piece along the score lines.
  3. Insert the tabs into the slits in the runners and glue them down.
  4. Attach the front of the runners to the front of the top piece. For the sled with the shorter runners, just glue the little end pieces to the underside of the top piece. For the sled with the longer runners, curl the two strips around and attach them to the top of the main piece.

I use Adobe Illustrator for all of my designs, and a Cricut Maker to bring my creations to life. For tips on creating fun paper cuts like this one, see the FAQ section on my website. Also, be sure to check out the other fun freebies available on my blog!

These sleds are a fun a simple craft, and the finished result makes for a lovely little winter decoration.

Enjoy putting these vintage sleds together. And don’t forget to share your pretty finished project with me on Instagram!

    Ah, the memories your adorable sled evokes. When I was growing up in Salt Lake, we would drag our sleds up a nearby hill time after time until our hands were so cold they hurt. Then we would drag the sleds back home and thaw out in front of a fire in the fireplace/ My mother would make us hot chocolate and give us each a blanket. Those were the days, thank you so much for sharing your adorable designs.

      What a beautiful memory! My Mother-in-Law grew up in Providence, Utah and shared a similar memory with me when she saw these sleds. ❤️

    These are adorable, thank you so much! Reminds me of growing up in New England and spending as much time as possible sledding over ever hill (or minor incline) in the neighborhood! Now I live in Florida and find myself missing the snow this time of year. These would make cute ornaments too!

      So glad this project could bring back some happy winter memories for you! I am definitely jealous of your Florida weather this time of year.
