Colour guide + true-scale cut maps for 8, 6 and 5 inch boards. No sign-up.
Cut map as SVG (any size, for Cricut or large boards)How to make it
- Print and prepare. Print the cut map for your board size at 100 % (check the 1 in square). This pattern is drawn for an 8 x 8 in board; the 6 in version is fine too, the 5 in one is for patient hands.
- Score the grooves. Tape the pattern onto the foam and cut along every line about 1/8 in (3 mm) deep, cutting through the paper. Peel the paper away.
- Cut the fabric. You need 9 fabrics; the biggest is A (sky blue), about 31% of the board. Cut each piece about 1/4 in larger than its shape.
- Tuck. Start with the large background pieces, then work towards the front. Press the fabric into the grooves with your tool and trim any excess before the last tuck.
