Jeffrey - I don't think that I'd trust myself with a scalpel just yet (I still value all by fingers:). I'll have to search around for the packs of 100 X-acto blades. Thanks for your advice!

Re: Bend to Conquer: How to Make a Beautiful Paper Lantern
Hi Jeffrey,
posted: 4:06 pm on July 15thIs there a specific brand or type of knife/blade that you prefer to cut with? I've gotten some cheap xacto knives at craft stores but they aren't to sharp and don't cut very well. What do you recommend?
Re: PuRsE GaL Hand Stenciled Totes
Love! This could also be a really fun project to do with kids :)
