@paprluvr, thanks for the link and for sharing it with us. these would be great to copy and save as a pdf so as not to distort the image. remember to resize using the drop down box. the wrong click with shift and arrow will mess you up something terrible.
A friend sent me here to watch ur vid as i love to use punches in creative ways too! U sound like my colleague who is a maths teacher! When i saw the lines and the word degrees i got dizzy as i cant handle maths lol. But its easy to follow ur tutorial. Thank you so much!
@Tassycrafty that is funny. i am in no way a "math" person, but this seemed fairly straight forward to me. for some reason my brain was able to wrap itself around the concept. hope you have fun playing.
I'm so glad I have a good friend like you who likes math....b/c I sure don't! I can always rely on you to figure out this stuff for me! I wonder where my DS gets his dislike of math...lol. This is a great technique..can't wait to try it with my butterfly punch. TFS, Heather
@TerrisBloomingIdeas, I will go and sit by the phone and wait..lol...:) Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. It is much appreciated.
@iamgodgirl , that is an awesome comment and what a great example to use with my students. So, true. Kids are always saying, when will we use this again...now!!!! lol
What a great technique for the corner punches!!! Thank you sooo much for sharing this...I'm gonna go make some 'doilies' from corner punches! Not to mention, add more corner punches to my supply list. Thank you!
i love that you are coming up with so much awesome things to do with the punches can't wait to see what other things you are going to come up with LOVE IT you go Girl love connie
@Tceeme, I know I said I was going to bed, but did a bit of reading instead. I did resize the template. Pull it over into a word document and then click on it to format. Go to size and resize it to fit your page. DO NOT pull by the corners as you will distort it. Using Ctrl is supposed to keep it proportional, but I don't trust that. I sized to just under 8 inches.---7.78 or 7.68---one of those since I printed on 8.5 x11 paper.
I love this technique but I would like to know what size of circles you are using. I would think that this would make a difference on whether or not the pieces are spaced correctly. Thx Deanna
Hi Deanna, the beauty of this is the size of the circle does not matter. Once you place your template on the grid you will see how many degrees you will need to mark based on the size of your circle. If the circle is a small one, you might only get to punch 5 times, but they will be equal since 5 x 72= 360. You could also do 4 punches at 90 degrees apart if the circle is a small one. That is why I like the CDC grid. I cut my circle on the circle scissor at 150. HTH, let me know.
I really love how you have been exploring this technique and sharing it with us. You are a kind and generous person and I thank you for your inquisitive, creative and sharing nature. You go girl! I can't wait to see more!
Love this. Thanks for sharing. :)

Also, it appears that your audio cuts out a few times during the video...or is that intentional? Thanks.

@BlackCatNoni, yes, it is intentional...lol I deleted the audio b/c it came through garbled for some reason. I put in the text to compensate.
