So, let's go ahead and start by taking the paintbrush stroke on the laptop screen. If you are interested in using it, this is from the paintbrush stroke.

So to get back to the design space you first need to figure out the size of your keychain so you go to shapes and now the standard size of acrylic blank keychains is two inches so you change the width. Will Up to two inches

Now this paint brush stroke is designed to fit two inch round shapes so it fits perfectly and you don't need to resize but if you are making your shape and you want to All you need is to fit your acrylic blank. To resize all

Finally, you are going to make everything one color so it cuts on one mat, and clicking " make" will just move all the elements to different sides of the mat so you can add the vinyl and it will give you all three colors. Will allow cutting. A mat that will save a lot of time.
