Paperweight and keychain

[Angus Hines]

Does anybody have templates for the half round and diamond shape paperweights, and the crystal type keyrings?

Thanks :)

I don't have a template for you, but I can tell you what I do.

I have a friend who owns a frameshop here town. I get mattboard (might be matte board) from Him. I have a Epilog Helix 24. He cuts mine 23.5 x 17.5. I then vector the proper hole size for multiple objects. Saving this in Corel x3, I can add text or graphics quickly and engrave numerous items at once. Hope this helps.

Angus,

Put the paperweights on a normal flatbed scanner, import the picture into Corel Draw, draw the outlines of the scanned image. Put a piece of plywood and cut the outlines out. One template!

even easier to just take a picture of the object. best to use a good contrasting background. this way you can do a bunch of them and arrange them how you like.
