Need:

1. sharp craft knife
2. metal ruler
3. coloured card

TIP: Practice on old card and plain fabric scraps if you have not done this before.

Cut a piece of card to measure the height and 3 times the width of the finished card size you need.

Using the metal ruler to get two neat parallel folds, score and fold the card into 3 sections width ways.

APERTURE

Measure the height and width of your design, adding ½cm all the way round to give the size of the aperture.

Lay your card face down on a craft cutting mat and mark teh center point in the middle section of the card.

SQUARE APERTURE: - measure the width and height you need, using the center mark as the middle of your square.

CIRCULAR: - use a compass around the center mark

Holding the card firmly in place, cut out the aperture using a sharp craft knife.

Now you can mount your stitching.

TIP: Store these flat to keep them looking pristine until you need them, ie unused drawer, under the bed :), in a folder.
