8-spindle star, craft cutter

8-pointed star, flower, what else? The shapes go well inside each other and by leaving one size out, these make it easy to cut smaller openings of the same shape for earrings, for example. In the centre opening, you can add a sparkly bead to hang, as an eye-catcher.

 

Cutter sizes measured from the inside, width:

1: 1.25 cm

2: 2.05 cm

3: 2.8 cm

4: 3.5 cm

5: 4.25 cm

6: 5 cm

 

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.
