you can use a cereal box to do test cutting on before cutting your wood to make sure the designs come out before wasting wood. the cereal boxes also work great for stencils too. ive used my air 2 to make a few stencils for air brushing. just got my air 2, so i will be using for other things as well.

I’m loving Design to Shine…it’s availability is perfect for my health situation. If I’ve had a seizure or can’t get around, I can watch and read my lesson in preparation. Teaching is your gift.
