love this, I'm still old school on some things 🥰

[@mrs.b1789]

Very helpful, thank you. Inventory items can accumulate fast.

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Ceri, excellent idea since some of us don't have a lot to spend on many things, enjoy your day and thanks for sharing.

[@barbarawafer94]

Thank you for reminding us that we don’t have to spend tons of money to make beautiful things. ❤

[@mayas8866]

Thank you so much. We tend to rely on our gadgets way too much. Feel like the inspector with the number of stuff i own. Sometimes I forget that we really don't need most of them.

[@amyt6254]

I never thought of a button or tape tube! The plastic angles idea is especially going to really help me! Thank you for these great ideas!

[@stephanieheiler2327]

I've made a template from an old gift card for the corners too and I use it all the time. You can do one for round corners as well. Just trace around different sized round objects cut them and you can use it the same way like the one for the angled corners just line it up trace around and cut the corners. It's way easier than lining up bottons or coins every time. Works for the thumb wholes as well. You just need to cut at the edges instead of the corners. This way you can make a template for different sized thumb wholes also. I still have all my templates I've made as I started crafting and I still use them from time to time.

[@marnyr9610]

Thanks for these tips Ceri, I'd never thought of a button, that is such a good idea, although recently I bought a series of circles on a mathematics template which has lines to line it up half ways, and if I want a thumb notch, I find a circle that fits my thumb and use that, had I known about a button though I'm sure I would have used that, thanks again Ceri, your tips are always helpful even for non newbies.

Great tips for making these corners and tabs! Thanks for sharing!

I knew all except the button usage. Learned it all from you! My tutor in Wales. ❤️

[@CL-kn1rq]

It's an excellent video for beginners. Beginners always remember you have 90% of your project around you in your house, it's not necessary to spend a fortune buying stuff when you're just starting out.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Very true

[@conniec4629]

I am sure there are many who will benefit from this video!!

[@AntonioMakes]

Agree!

[@ludmilaschicchi8278]

My favorite is the plastic template. I had to make one right away.

[@michelel3372]

Great ideas and tips, Ceri! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@kathylambert-uz1vs]

Thanks ❤❤❤

[@sharonlarge7908]

Excellent! Love low cost methods! Love your style of instruction!

[@winterprism9227]

On that blue card thing, you could also put a couple of circular holes, of different sizes, in it to give you a stencil, basically, for the rounded corners/tab punch. That way you'd have an all in one.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Great idea.

[@angieallen7363]

Great! I like old school crafting! I don’t want to spend money on something I might use a few times and then put away in my overwhelming hoard😂.

[@flamingogirl57]

I heard that !!! 😂😅

[@flamingogirl57]

This was a great reminder and an idea I hadn't thought of... the plastic template card !! Brilliant Ceri !!! This Great Grannie needs all the help she can get !! 😅😂

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much!

[@brant8642]

Excellent idea. 🎉 ❤

[@potcake10]

I have been using your plastic card method for a long time now. I do have corner rounders and hole punchers, but I find your method allows me to make a new size template when ever I need a new one. Great idea.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful!

[@susannejensen8087]

The blue one , I bought on Temu

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh really, I’m sure I hit mine on eBay so it could be the same manufacturer.

[@greenspiral2955]

Just the ticket, Griffiths! Love, love, love the low tech! 'Tis the way for those limited in space (and funds). Good 'ol buttons, who'd a thunk it, thanks for sharing.

Simply genius! I made a tag template from an old AAA card as revealed by you. Fantastic. My old hands are getting a bit shaky so tools are helpful. It’s good to know what the “pros” use.

[@tammydayfl]

Great video and excellent explanations and ideas of alternatives.

[@phyllisj73]

Thank you for the reminder Ceri 😊

[@theprimitiveblackhatsociet8274]

I did it "old school" for a long time. I finally gave in and bought myself a corner rounder and a circle punch. I still do the slant corners and tabs the "old school" way. I allow myself one new craft item each month, the tab punch is at the top of my list.

[@sallyapplegate4591]

Brilliant!!! Thank you, never thought of using buttons!!!!

[@user-te7zz8mv3x]

thanks you have saved me buying more stuff that i would probably use only a few times a year !

[@christiedecker2724]

This is so very beneficial, Ceri. Thank you. I've done the corner bit by cutting one angle and using it to cut the opposite, but didn't think of the other ones. I really like the template idea too. I imagine one could make a template using the buttons on it also, then you could use the buttons elsewhere. Great ideas! As my grandfather used to say, "Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do or do without." Blessings to you!

Serendipity! I was planning to make an arduous journey, tomorrow, across the Sahara, Gobi and Taklamakan deserts to get to the nearest Hobby Lobby (well, ok, in reality it's a two bus and a train journey😉) to buy corner rounders, but this video gives me cheaper options, plus punches seem to dull relatively quick, and the tin foil trick does not always work. Thank you!

Great video - I've just found your channel, so I'm going to binge watch! I've a request.... can you please do another video with your template card to explain what all the other angles are for? Thank you very much.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Christina the other angles are just options, each is used to cut the top angles of a tag however depending on the size of the tag the size of the angle may differ.

[@christinaandrew181]

@@CeriGriffiths thanks for your reply. About 6 minutes after I posted that request, I found the video you made explaining just what I wanted. Now I'm enjoying going through your playlists.

[@bette-annflood835]

Pinch happens. Tfs

[@carolablue5293]

Punches work for me because I'm not so good at free hand cutting and I can't always cut a perfectly straight line.
