Looking at the pattern reference on the printed page, all of the red lines are cuts to be made. Then, again using the straight edge, cut the shorter interior lines freeing the top and bottom flaps. Using a fresh hobby knife should make this easy, requiring only a single pass. Then carefully cut out the curved segments. Using a straight edge, cut out along all the straight black lines of the perimeter of the design. Make sure to press down and lightly rub the designs with a clean paper towel or cloth to ensure good contact and no air bubbles. ![]() Spray adhesive and rubber cement should be used in well ventilated spaces. They are not arranged as such on the PDFs because they won’t fit within the margins most printers require. Though not necessary, if you roughly cut out the two designs you can then affix them to a single sheet of cardstock. The margins are sufficient that no downsizing should be necessary on any printer. When printing the PDFs, make sure to print at 100%, no scaling. You may also find a pair of scissors handy, as well as a black permanent marker and packing tape. Otherwise you will also need some cardstock and either spray adhesive or rubber cement. Ideally the PDFs are printed onto thick paper or cardstock and cut out directly from there.
