i tried to make my own table plan yesterday and it was really awful, lol. i could get any of the edges straight as the card was too thick to cut, i tried a stanley knife and have ended up with not only wonky edges but deep scratches in my table as well :(
where did you get yours from and how much did they cost as buying one is my only option now

Personally I havent ddone/had mine done yet..however what about going to your local craft shop and asking them? Depends on how fancy it is to how much it would be I spose?! Think I got quoted £30 at mine.. xx
CommentAuthorbabybex
could u not buy a cheap guilotine and use that to cut the edges? when i was lookin for my friends table plan a few month ago i cant remember the website but prices were upwards £80 x
CommentAuthorlisa123
i have looked for a guillotine and the cheapest i could find was £30 and i have already spent £20 on crafts and would have to spend that again if i was to do it myself so just looking at buying one un-printed now, i just need a diy kit with everything cut out, lol

Poor you, stanley knives aren't so good for precise cutting like that. We got a gadget off ebay that is for cutting mounts that go inside picture frames, we bought a £5 piece of foam filled thick board from h.craft then a red piece of thick card for a couple of quid to attach on top.Then printed the bits we wanted and cut the holes. I have to say though it looks easier than it is, he did all the cutting and measuring and looked fab but i'd have struggled.
There's a thread "creative seating plan" - you can find it via the search function. Maybe there are some more and totally different ideas for you.
It’s so great to find that one special person

Try the bay hunni, plenty of them on there at good prices and mosr will customise for you, i think i saw a diy one on there for about £10 as well so worth a look

Take a look in asda or tescos for a guillotine, I got a tiny one for less than a tenner (actually already had it in cos need it for my work lol) but they don't have to be that expensive, and the one I have even comes with different blades for different effects on the edge of the paper!
I used that to cut out my card and then stuck it onto a canvas that we had bought from the works for £6-7 x
Now, finally, Mrs Riley
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

Most local libraries have a guillotine which they allow the public to use... just a thought :-)

Our first attempt was rubbish so maybe that is a good sign your second was better :-)
