Lattice Tutorials - Inkscape .45/.46/.47

[susibi]

Must have been someone breathing down my neck - but here's what I've come up with for Inkscape .
This very basic tutorial is a fun and easy beginning - there are probably quicker ways of making a trellis but I found this gives the best results so far- and it gives us a reason to use the the Align and distribute functions!!

So far I've done regular shapes like circles, rectangles, ovals etc and shown how you can use your shapes either as a topper or part of your design.

This tutorial is a joint effort between Joyce aka 2Magpies and myself. This is not for cutting as is, it is simply a template to use for making lattice cards and embellishments.
