Paper piercing curves
I love working with circles and ovals and I love paper piercing. Here is a quick and easy tutorial on how to paper pierce curves.
Supplies:
- Paper piercing tools
- curved cardstock
Step one:
Begin by lining up your guide line with the end of your cardstock. I lined the second, thinner line up with the end of the white cardstock.
Step two:
Paper pierce until the guide line doesn’t connect with the end of the white cardstock anymore. Keep the paper piercing tool in the last pierced hole and move the paper piercing template over until the guide line lines up with the cardstock again.
Step three:
Continue to pierce and turn.
Step four:
Continue until you paper pierced your entire curve, circle or oval this way.
I was playing with this myself yesterday. Thanks for helping me out!
Another stellar tutorial! Thank you, Beate!!!!
Very cool! I will have to give this a try!
Thank you for the demo. You make it look so easy!
I have another idea on my blog for you. I have since realized that it’s called plastic canvas, but this tool is inexpensive and super easy!

[…] Sparkle used a lot of glitter on her card (how appropriate!), but I used the shiny white pin stripe paper from the Taste of Textiles package instead. The patterned paper is from the Bella Birds DSP package, and the baby buggy image from the Puns from the Past set. To get the piercing along the edge of the circle panel looking even, I again used Beate’s wonderful tip on paper piercing curves. […]
