in the other. I open them and am very disapointed . They are made out of paper. You would think they would be made of something stronger. They give 4 in a pkg probably because they wont be lasting long. They work great but it's just annoying to pay that much for paper, not even cardboard. I bought them on the internet clover site otherwise i would take them back

Perhaps you could use them as a template to cut a more sturdy version in a light cardboard then put them away until you need to make new templates.

I could but i should not have too. I have the clover yo-yo makers and I really like them. I just thought these should be better quality. I'm going to send them an email and tell them I'd like my money back. Could'nt hurt to ask.

How amazing. I wonder if you could make a template on a lightweight plastic from them?

Watched the video. Have you seen those nails? How on earth could she thread a needle with those???
But what a clever idea. Too bad they are so flimsy!

LOL-I know-that was what kept me watching actually Martine....can you imagine working with those daggers??

Have to laugh because I had also long nails (okay, not soooo long) when I was learning confectioner and one of the examiners asked me how I can model almond-paste-figures with them. I never had problems with them (and they were natrural!) otherwise I would have cuted them. Nowerdays with two kids and my business I have them a little shorter and without polish ;o)

Bev you hooked me :o)
Had to try it! When they sell just a slice of paper I can do it also with a print-out from the article-descrition ;o)
The sizes are not the same but it worked for trying if you like it. It is really very easy and this is something I can take with me in the garden in summertime (even my daughter does some petals). Just wanna make it a little bit smaller cause most of my leftovers from the lamps are smaller.
I think it looks nice if you don't take printed fabrics (most of my vichy-squares is woven). Here is a pic I made just after reading Bev's post.
Greetings, Bettina

it does make a nice flower. I like the smaller ones best.

kind of a cute concept-watching that demo kind of reminded me of the crepe paper flowers we used to make when we kids- actually used to help a neighbor make tons of them for floats that they covered in flowers for parades on different occassions. ~linda~

Get some of the clear plastic sticky shelf liner and cover the little template with it. That should extend the life with all the folding it goes through.
