How It Works
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out our pattern guide to understand what each symbol means!
We color-code our patterns to show what to do with each piece, so printing on color will work best. But if colored ink isn't available to you, just watch each pattern's instruction video to see what to do!
A standard gluestick will work! Make sure to really glue down the edges of each piece for the best results once you're cutting.
