It could ...Such a useful tute this Karen thank you. It could seem like an easy enough thing to cut templates but of course it isn't! And practical nifty ways of doing it are bound to be helpful to new and practised hexicolics anywhere.<br />I prefer thinner templates and also prefer to cut my own too.<br />I have the dies for cutting 1" and 1.5" hexis but still prefer to cut by hand lol<br />It seems more in keeping with the traditional techniques somehow to me. Though clearly not for everyone.liniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-9827752670166913802015-08-19T16:07:41.375-07:002015-08-19T16:07:41.375-07:00Thank you!!!!

Just now I noticed you are cutting yours out of the sheet of paper by hand. I know you are up in Canada, but here in my town, our local stores, like Michaels and Joann's have a cutter for different sizes of hexagons. It is a die cutter made by Fiskars, and it is located in the section of the store for all the paper crafting and scrapbooking. Hope that will help somebody to find some and do it that way.<br />Like I said, I do not know if you have those stores up by you, but I think they sell them over the internet as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813000134460103937noreply@blogger.com
