Hey!

See these:



How do you deal with this? I have a hard time throwing them in the bin. Might cut some as jewelery.

Why are you drilling in the center of a basic silhouette?
Unless you are making 'inside cuts' you can just start anywhere on the outside of the pattern.

*lol* sorry, these are inside cut outs. They are supposed to be thrown away.

But they also look quit good, as if one may use them too.

<VBG> I now get your point!

I hate to throw those away too and have a whole box of them waiting for some inspiration!

Use as confetti but don't throw it to hard

I still drill the hole along the line even on inside cuts. Without that whole and cut line they would be more useful and look better.

I drill as close to the line as well.  When I get a heart shape I give it to Lisa in exchange for a kiss.  Every 10 hearts I get...er...never mind.

hmm, yeah... that's it. Kill two birds with one stone - rescue the cut out, have 2 pieces - hand the inner piece to my wife... - wait a second, those are 3 advantages   

Let's see if I manage to not damage the cut out tomorrow.

Yup, That's what I would do if I wanted to save the cutouts.

Good idea Russ, I also collect some of my cutouts. I think... OK someday I am going to make keychains or something out of these, but the hole is always to far in, plus there is the cut line from the blade.

I also drill close to the line and throw my "cute" cutouts in a bucket.  Kids especially like going through the bucket.

Same here, as far as the drilling goes...um...I mean...the hole...wait...where I put it...err...I guess there's no way to say it without the innuendo! 

[Russ C]

I am going to start cutting hearts and see if it will work for me.    LOL

Kindling for my wood stove.

Ok this is what I would do to save them I would just cut from the same hole "a heart" in the middle that way you can give htem away as a speical gift and yet not have to make a new hole or cut line.. That is just what I would do but in the future just cut real close to the line makes it easier.

 GOOD LUCK  to you.
