Keep your bags, cards, scrapbook layouts and 3D projects in specific folders.
While it's important to keep your SVG files together in one main folder, there is no right or wrong way to organize your SVG files inside that folder.Ĭreate folders for specific holidays, seasons etc. Simply drag your existing SVG files into the new folder(s) and if you're downloading a file for the first time, just save it directly to your new folder! Now that you have a folder dedicated to your SVG files, you can begin to organize it however you'd like! By theme, holiday, color and even by the source of the SVG files ().
This is where you're going to start saving your SVG files.Ħ. Give your folder a name! It can be anything you want. Highlight New from the pop-up menu and click Folder.Ĥ. Right-click on an empty area of your personal folder. In the next step, we're going to create a new dedicated folder for your entire collection of SVG files!ģ. Note: You may have more folders depending on what programs you have installed.

In a perfect world, you would only leave your current projects and/or commonly used items on your craft table. That is your desktop and is NOT to be used as your file cabinet! I like to pretend that the desktop is like the table in your craft room. You know that screen that you see when you first boot up your computer? Yeah, the messy one with all of that stuff on it. And just like a file cabinet, your computer gives you the ability to group similar documents in folders. Just like a file cabinet, your computer stores documents (SVG files, pictures, word documents etc).
It doesn't matter if you're on a Mac or PC, pretend that your computer is a file cabinet. There's nothing worse than sitting down to work on a project only to spend minutes (hopefully not hours) looking for your SVG files.
