Crafts

Ever wanted to create your own stickers or embroider material? Look no further. The Hive has a vinyl cutter and embroidery/sewing machine to help with any of your designs. This crafting area is located by the benchtop desks, right by the staircase that leads to the bottom floor.

Vinyl Cutter

The Hive currently has three vinyl cutters: Silhouette Cameo 3, Silhouette Cameo 4, and Silhouette Cameo 5. This machine uses the computer located right next to it, and the application to use this device is called Silhouette Studio, which is very similar to Illustrator. We have anything from vinyl to cardstock and stencils for anything you want to cut with good precision.
