I want to make myself a heart shaped template that's approx 3.5x3.5 cm square (I do realise a heart's not a square but that's the size I want it to fit iyswim).

Can any of you lovely folks tell me how I'd do it? :)

What do you want to do with it?

It's really easy to draw a heart shape in Word or PowerPoint.

@HollowTalk I want to cut hearts out of some fabric but they'd end up wonky if I did them by eye.

Open Word, choose Format and Shape, then look for the picture of a heart on the list of shapes.

Draw the shape. Double click and the size option appears on the right of the toolbar. Change to 3.5 in each box.

Double click on the picture and choose blank fill.

Have you got office?

Can you do the above, then print out and pin to the fabric and cut around it?

Much appreciated, thank you @HollowTalk

If you like you can PM me your email address and I'll send you a sheet of hearts to print out.

lucysmam · 18/04/2020 12:49

I've done it! That's two things I've learned to do today

Yes, I plan to print it then cut around it several times.
