I recently did a project that had quite a few steps. To make it more manageable, I broke it into four manageable chunks.
The project was a design by Craft with Sarah as part of her Christmas Countdown this year (not an affiliate link. Just want to give credit where it's due.) I broke it down into the following steps:
1. Cut the chipboard for the stand
2. Cut the other 12 mats' worth of pieces including the window cling for the window "glass." All of the small pieces went into a cup so I wouldn't lose them.
3. Glue the large pieces
4. Glue the small pieces
It doesn't sound like much when I break it down like this, but it was a pretty big project. The chipboard alone took 12 cutting passes on the Cricut. And the next-to-last step was gluing each individual color into the black areas so it would look like stained glass. There were a few really tiny pieces.
I spread the steps out over two days, so the project was much less daunting than I originally thought it would be. Next time you have a multi-step project, break it down into smaller chunks. Putting it together this way was manageable, and I'm really happy with the results.
