Need Deco Circles...No Plotter...No Problem

I was in Joanne Fabrics the other day buying some new heavy duty scissors (40% coupon in hand) and I noticed this Olfa tool and decided to buy it along with some suction cups to see if it would be an easy way to cut circles in white frost. Tried it out and it worked very well and was very precise. I just wet tacked the finish product on my kitchen window to show the results. Unfortunately it only cuts a 10" max circle. Should be able to cut circles out of already installed film as well for more design options. Took a whole minute to cut it out. Beats a plotter if ur cheap like me....

nice....

I wonder how well that rotary cutter blade will hold up. I also wonder if it would mark glass if you were to install the film then cut out what you needed to.

That's pretty cool!!

nice tip.......

I have 2 of those olfa circle cutters still in the box, but this is one of the better ideas for them! Good idea CE

The replacement circular rotary blades are fairly cheap. They seem to hold up pretty well if you use one of those cutting mats underneath. BTW, Joanne Fabrics has a 36" x 60" cutting mat with measuring grid for $39.99. Normally sells for $70.

Will that do small enough circles to cut the "buttons" out for extended cab windows on trucks. ie: 97 F150 supercab?

Maybe...

I have a triangle that has different circles in it that I use to cut out "buttons"

I have one as well, but would always like more/different tools.

Just because your a Steelers fan I dont like your idea.




J/K Thats an awsome tip.
Good luck next week!

Thanks for the tip. I found it here.

Glad I could help for once...lol

Great Idea!!! It looks like you could use some bar stock,drill holes along it and attach the pieces to what ever size circle you want.
ya think?
