The ghost cat is made with two different cutters. You can use just the cat head silhouette, or use another color to make a mask and get a bit of Halloween spirit.
The smallest cutter used in the picture. Thickness of both clay sheets is about 2.5 mm. I recommend using a thinner sheet for the mask, so that the layering will look more natural.
Cutter sizes measured from the inside, width:
1: 2 cm
2: 2,5 cm
3: 3 cm
4: 3,5 cm
5: 4 cm
6: 4,5 cm
The cutter has a patterned surface that works best with a 3 mm thick ground sheet. In this case, the pattern is pressed into the clay by about a millimetre.
The cutter needs a little more pressure than a metal cutter. The cutting edges will be sharp and precise. You can also use cling film or a piece of plastic bag in between the cutter and the polymer clay, if you want rounder edges.

The polymer clay cutters are printed in Finland, from plant-based, biodegradable plastic. The cutter must not be heated or put in the oven. The cutter starts to soften at around 60 degrees Celsius.
Clean the cutter after use, wipe off any visible clay.
