I also have commercial bakery parchment paper. I use my rotary cutter and ruler to cut them in half. I also got a large box at Costco and cut it down to just a little bit bigger than a half sheet size of parchment paper, taped them together, leaving a little slack in-between the two pieces of cardboard. I then put a tab on the opposite side of the taped side, so that I can close it up. This folds up to keep the parchment paper flat. I store it in between my cookie sheets, up against the side of my cabinet. This way I always have my parchment sheets ready for cooking.
I also use the sheets without cutting them for when I need to draft a large pattern or need to trace a pattern on the paper. I honestly don't what I'd do if I didn't have this parchment paper, as it comes in so handy for so many things.
