Assembling the Print PDF Pattern Instructions
If you are printing the PDF out on a standard home printer please choose Letter or A4 size. When printing MAKE SURE you are printing to 100% scale or the dimensions will be wrong. You will need to cut along the dashed lines and either tape or glue the corresponding pieces together to create the full size template. 1 matches with 1. 2 matches with 2. 3 matches with 3. After this step you can continue cutting everything out. If you plan on re-using the template multiple times I suggest glue to a piece of poster board for added rigidity.
Guidelines of Template Usage
We put a lot of time and effort into producing these templates, videos, and blog posts. Please do not distribute the template you have purchased from Makesupply. It’s not cool and hurts our feelings (CRY EMOJI). However, you are free to do whatever you want with the end product you create using the template design. Even sell them on Etsy!
