If you need to cut out the same shape multiples times, here is a tip from - @seventhandstone -“I discovered a few years ago that ice cream bucket lids make great templates. If you’re like me and don’t buy ice cream by the bucket-full, check your local recycling center. I find that a ball point pen works best for tracing your paper pattern onto the plastic and then use a sharp pointed scissor to cut it out. You can then use the plastic template to trace onto your metal” Templates are such an awesome idea and save you so much time when you are cutting out the same shape again and again!
