PROJECT OVERVIEW

PAPER PATTERN CARE INSTRUCTIONS

OPTION 1: Before cutting out pattern pieces, adhere a stiffer paper (cardstock or similar) with preferred adhesive.
OPTION 2: After cutting out pattern pieces, laminate individual pieces.
These are just suggestions to prolong the lifespan of the paper pattern. With proper care, these patterns can be used again and again!
