Surprisingly, wheat has held a deep cultural significance for millennia. Across civilizations, it's been a symbol of fertility, prosperity, and even life itself. The stalk, reaching skyward with its heavy head of grain, represents the potential for new beginnings and a bountiful harvest. In fact, wheat remains a staple crop even to this day — a lovely reminder that the most essential things are often the simplest.

Back to the TopI’m wanting to make these but the SVG file is too large and it is all attached so it can’t be individually manipulated. Can this file be corrected so that it will fit for my Circut?
Hello Gracemarie. I am actually making a video to show how to use our files. When you place the file on the canvas, you can see the grouped layers in the right column. Click on the arrow pointing to the group and this will open them to the sub layers. Once you read the designer notes and confirm your file is 14×11 on the canvas, click the eye icon to hide that layer. You can then ungroup or attach the sub groups at this point, depending on what you would like to do. Does that help? I am looking forward to having the video for you. 🙂
but it”s not on a 14 x 11 canvas. and the wheat shafts are all grouped together and can;t be separated. In other words, I can’t eliminate any of the wheat shafts to fit the canvas. The crepe paper is only 10″ long. I’d be cutting into my mat.
The larger size is not for the cutting mat size. It is simply the square around the complete set so you can confirm sizing. We add this because on occasions, the Cricut software will resize the files for no reason. The wheat shaft parts are in groups but they are not locked. Click the down arrows in the right side bar and you can see just how each piece is separate. You can hide any of the individual layers.
Did you use any pan pastel?
This project does not use PanPastel, but you can add it if you want a different color.
This one is fantastic! Can’t wait to make these for my autumn bouquets!🌾🎃🌻🧡💛
They will make such a great addition for a filler flower. 🙂
