    Awesome idea. Thanks Melissa and Amber for showing us how to save a little money 💰 ❤😊❤

      I am so glad you like the idea! These little mats have come in handy for all sorts of projects for both my husband and I as we do different household projects. And at $1.25 I don't have to be as concerned about my glue gun or blades messing them up!

    The plastic flexible chopping mats work too. Too thin for rotary cutting, but for tracing around it works great. They are pretty transparent, so tracing onto the mats is easy. And you get two/pack. Just picked some up on Monday and put them to use yesterday.

      I'm definitely going back for those cutting boards. Thanks for watching, Lacy Alex!

    Use temporary adhesive to attach the paper to the cutting mat and then cut on the lines. I've also used the semi-transparent cutting boards from Dollar Tree and cut two and used rubber cement to stick them together to make them thicker.

    Great idea! Templates are so expensive. My husband has made templates for me out of acrylic from a hardware store. They are really strong and don't bend.

    • @70acres

      I am thinking of getting a laser cutter to make my own templates. I am a bit of a tool junkie. Thanks for watching, Wanda!

  • @lynnfoster7461
    @lynnfoster7461 Рік тому +2

    Trace it on the back of the mat. It will show better than on the front with all the lines.

    • @70acres

      That is such a great idea, Lynn! Thank you for watching and commenting!

    Sometimes you need templates for applique and also for quilting motifs. If you use them a lot you need something that won't get the edge destroyed tracing on it like cardboard does. This would help and of course the cutting mats. I have never found those at Dollar Tree. These I have seen.

    • @70acres

      Hi Deb, thanks for watching. I'm going back for those cutting boards. Seems like a lot of people like them.

    If you use tissue paper, also available at the dollar store, to trace your pattern, the ink will bleed through better.

      What a great idea, Auntie! Thanks for watching!

  • @marionbarber984
    @marionbarber984 8 місяців тому +1

    This interesting, Melissa. But could you trace the shape needed on the back of the mat? That way you can see it better without all those fussy white ruler lines on the front? Feb. 5, 2024. The problem with going to the Dollar store is all those dollar snacks. Marion in Oregon. Oohhh nuts, ooohhhh red licorice. And Yardley lavender soap (not a snack). 🤗

    • @70acres
      @70acres  8 місяців тому

      LOL, Thanks for making me chuckle, Marion! Yes, you can use the back of the mat, it doesn't have a smooth finish though, it is a flat finish (mat). The front side is smooth and a bit shiny. Use whichever side is easier for you. I do love a well stocked Dollar Tree! 🥰😂😘😍

    Great idea but I don’t live in the US. Don’t think I could get any like it in the UK

    • @70acres
      @70acres  Рік тому

      Hmmmm, I did some digging and apparently your Pound shops don't carry craft supplies. I also looked at Tesco. Have you tried Ali Express or Temu? They have them for cheap! If shipping wasn't so expensive I'd send you some.
      Thanks for watching, Sue!

  • @karenraabis5296
    @karenraabis5296 Рік тому +1

    I love this idea but our dollar trees have never carried these. I can’t even find them to order.

    • @70acres
      @70acres  Рік тому

      I'm sorry to hear that, Karen. I think each store can pick its own inventory and sometimes they leave the craft section out. Maybe ask them to get the craft supplies. They might do it if enough customers ask. Thanks for watching.

    @constancebrooks4291 Рік тому +1

    I don't think that is the cutting mat that she was talking about. Go into the kitchen dept and get those cutting mats. They are clear.

    • @70acres
      @70acres  Рік тому

      She specifically mentioned these. I can check the kitchen area also next time I'm in town. If they are the ones I'm thinking of they may be too brittle to cut. Thanks for watching, Constance!

      Also the plastic placements work great for templates.
