👍 [Beginner Tips] When cutting straight lines of paper, I use a metal ruler and a paper knife

When cutting straight lines of paper, I use a metal ruler and a paper knife. The cuts are much more beautiful and precise than scissors. I had to practice this method for a while to master it, because it is quite dangerous.

That’s a great tip! A metal ruler really makes a difference for clean cuts. I totally get you on the practice part — precision tools can be tricky (and a bit dangerous :sweat_smile:), but the results are worth it!

A really good tip! I don’t have a metal ruler at home, so when I had a Uni project, when I made Zine (small book), I used paper knife and… cutting bord :laughing: Because it’s also has a straight edges. But of course it was difficult
