These templates are meant to be printed then laminated and use with a guilotine style paper cutter to cut your pretty papers into strips by moving your paper across the template for each cut. There is a video on how to use these cutting guides.

The Cutting Guide Templates are in the PDF file. To download the pdf file, right click or Control click depending on what operating system you have. You can also just click on it if you have a .pdf viewer extension on your computer.

These are only available for download. The video shows them already laminated. I used to sell them laminated but there was not enough interest in them so I discontinued the sale of the laminated version.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon.

Random Quick Tip!

Make it Stiff
For stiffening stuff. I just bought this wonderful stuff from Wal-Mart called Stiffen Stuff. It works great and you can control how stiff you want something by adding more coats of it as needed. It comes in a pump spray bottle and you can get 32 oz refill bottles for the pump bottle. You can even dry it in the microwave. There is a website you can go to to learn more about it. http
//www.beacon1.com I used it for the skirt of the angel and it holds up very well. I used only two applications and it is able to hold it's shape but does have some give to it. You cannot even tell that there is stiffener in it. I really love the stuff. For something a basket though, you may want to keep adding coats of it until it is as stiff as you want it.
