...Circle Piercing Tutorial and Challenge

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  Can you handle a tutorial today?  You all know how much I adore paper piercing, and I have received a plethera of emails inquiring about my Circle Piercing.  I thought I would take this opportunity to share the secret with you all.

CIRCLE PIERCING TUTORIAL

Here's what you'll need to get started:

Paper Piercer

Piercing Mat

Plastic Canvas Mesh Shape- Round 

(you can find these at your local craft store in the needlework section in several different shapes)

An Assembled Card Front

Step One: Place card front onto piercing mat.

Step Two:  Using grid on the center of the plastic mesh, line up the outside of your patterned paper circles or other circular element.  Pierce around the entire element using the mesh shape as a guide.  You can pierce the circular element, or pierce around the outside of it as I did.

Step Three:  Remove mesh shape guide to reveal your piercing.

Step Four:  Pierce around all the patterned paper circles, and attach the card front to the card base to complete your card.
