Hope this helps...I just learned after I used and re used a paper one someone sent me.(the last fold (pic4)) should be lined up,,it popped open when I took the pic

start with a circle(any size) I used a pizza pan

line up ruler and cut from edge to edge

open up and there ya go!!! Make bigger or smaller by adding or subtracting from each side after you cut it...just use your ruler and cutter...

Thanks for that information. It seems simple enough - famous last words. That way, one could make several different sizes.

I always tried doing it with a square. After I saw how simple the circle was I felt silly!

Thanks so very much--every time I see one of your table toppers (that are always so beautiful,) I wonder how you do those so beautifully--and so fast! :lol:
