Three-sheet craft cutter

Three-leaf cutter. Hang two pieces with the bottoms facing each other, or put the smaller and larger one behind the other.

This can also be easily combined with, for example, small droplet patterns.

When you cut patterns from the pulp sheet, it is easy to leave a little pulp in the corner between the sheets. This can be removed with a needle, for example, or with a ball-end tool before baking. It is also easy to leave pulp in the cutter. This can be prevented by using a piece of plastic wrap in between. The examples in the pictures are cut from a 2.5 mm pulp sheet, 1. and 3. without foil, the others with the foil between the cutter and the pulp sheet.

Sizes, width x height:

1: 21 x 21 mm

2: 25 x 2 5 mm

3: 28 x 28 mm

4: 32 x 32 mm

5: 35 x 35 mm

6: 39 x 39 mm

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.
