Paper piecing 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 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!
