Acetate Sheets, Acrylic, or Plexiglass

This was inspired by WhatYouMakeIt1's Corvette acrylic album. I've worked with Plexiglas in the past so I know how forgiving it is. Not sure if alcohol will remove spray paint but "Goof Off" or "Goo Gone" will probably work. Been wanting to give this a try but have been afraid? You won't be any longer after this video.

Leslie, What is the best way to cut acetate? Great tips! Just starting with these these types of crafts.

[boknstet]

@joeandjo100 Acetate can be cut with scissors or a craft knife since it is so thin. Plexiglass, such as used in this video, is cut with a saw...scroll saw, circular saw, any kind of mechanical saw. You have to put masking tape on both sides of the Plexiglas in the area you want to cut to keep the stuff from chipping and splitting. Have fun with your projects.

Goodness gracious, what amazing eyes.

@ar4216 Thank you, it is very sweet of you to say that.

Baby blue eyes spook me. That's my fault, I know. But I don't think I'm alone. I would suggest that politicians and public relations folks with baby blue eyes consider wearing contact lenses to make their irises darker.

@giovannalicious08 I'm glad this helped you out. Just remember rubbing alcohol is a really fine eraser :-) if you need one.
