"Hello...its meeeee....are you ready to start cutting pretties from this lovely sheet..."
(Sang to Adele's 'Hello' song)
Excuse the singing...I know I'm terrible!
As promised in the last magazine edition here are your free paper cut template's all ready for you to print and start swirling your scalpel or craft knife.
It seemed fitting that the template had a DIY theme, seeing as that's the reason we are all here....!
I'm definitely a DIY Diva and I couldn't leave out you DIY dudes could I?
So let’s get started....
All you will need to get started is,
A glass cutting mat,
Your choice of scalpel and blades, (you can find a huge selection online or in your local Range, B n M, Wilkos etc)
Your printed template
A pot to put all the confetti pieces you will make when cutting your design
And a cuppa and plate of biscuits and chocolate are optional but I find are a must have....
DIY Diva/ Dude Paper Cutting
Your template will print in reverse with the template facing the wrong way.
We will be cutting away the grey areas and leaving the white areas. The white will make up your final design.
We will be cutting from the back of the design into the paper. Pick the design you would prefer to cut first and cut the paper in half to give you to separate designs.
Begin by cutting away the grey areas that are the smallest first, moving onto the larger of the small grey areas.
You may find turning the paper as you cut helps you to make smoother lines.
As you cut away each section, remove the waste piece's carefully to keep your cutting area free of little pieces.
Take your time and start with small cuts, as your confidence grows you will find you can attempt to cut larger areas.
When the smallest areas are all cut move onto the larger of the grey areas.
Cut in sections you feel comfortable with, bits at a time.
Move onto the next section and continue cutting away the grey areas
