Making paper beads is a fun and relaxing hobby! I have designed this cut file to make cutting the strips much easier for you. Strips that are cut with an electronic cutter (such as a Silhouette Cameo, Cricut, Brother Scan-n-Cut, etc.) are cut quickly and will be uniform in size.
Your download will include cutting files in svg and fcm formats, sized for 8.5"x11" and 12"x12" papers. **Please ensure that you know how to use these files in your cutting machine - instructions for cutting and file importing and/or conversion are not included. I have a Scan-n-Cut; I am not familiar with other machines and cannot provide support.
If you do not have an electronic cutter, a pdf of the template is also included - you can print it off on any papers you wish and cut the lines by hand.
This collection of files will cut triangular strips in FORTY different sizes. There are 10 widths (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 22, and 25 millimeters) and 4 different lengths (144, 205, 270, and 290 millimeters). All the beads pictured in the listing have been made using these cut files. Finished results may vary depending on the thickness of the paper, the diameter of the roller, and the number of layers rolled at once. 2mm rollers were used.
