My favorite tool is called a “blade runner.” With the use of a plastic circle template, one can make any size, perfect circles. This tool can be purchased at Michael’s in the scissors/scrapbook department. Don’t forget that you can use a Michael’s, JoAnn's or an A.C. Moore coupon to receive a discount when you purchase this item.
