Cutting Window Shapes in Paper

Card Making Techniques

Sometimes in your paper crafting endeavors you might want to cut window shapes from your printed projects with scissors. If you have used office paper to print on, the paper is quite flimsy and cutting out the windows can make extra crumples and creases in it.

For projects children are going to make (and therefore they will be using scissors instead of a craft knife) here is a simple method to get around the problem.

Cutting Window Shapes

Slightly bend the paper (loose bend) and make a cut in the center of the window.

Make cuts to each of the corners from the center.

Cut along the window edges.

There should be minimal creasing and crumpling.

Happy Crafting! :)

Self Avenue

A little over three weeks ago I started a hub called 'Self Avenue' a self development/improvement site. Writing about personal development is a good way to explore your own thoughts/ideas/attitudes/behaviour - and at the same time you might help others who are in similar situations. I am not in the industry, do not know the jargon but thought I had something to share. I write from layman perpective - a-la experience, saying what worked for me and what didn't. My Editor Justine Crowley has (among other things) published four books on the subject and provides an industry-credible voice. I did not imagine it would take off so. Counsellors, Doctors, Life Coaches have applied as writers as have Mums and Bloggers - so there'll be a good mix of stuff coming up. If you think you might like to write for Self Avenue , from whatever walk of life you're from - take a gander here . Yes, you get paid :)
