Its really easy Bev, you just mark it carefully, clamp the main piece down firmly, score it with a 'Stanley' knife (craft knife) until you are about half way through then....you have to be brave and just 'snap' it downwards.

Afterwards you just need to lightly sand the edges to get any snags off!!

Wah lah you have your own templates!!

It would have cost at least £65.00 to buy them individually in the U.K. and god knows how much more here in Spain!!! The piece of acrylic cost 30 euros - approx £23.00 - so a great saving too!!!!
