Another tip that I was taught in a class that I forgot to include.
The cutting pad is basically a thin piece of styrofoam.
To help it last longer, glue a piece of cardboard like that that comes with packs of paper at the lss, to the back of it. The mat will still gather cuts but will stay together and last longer. IT WORKS!!
If you happen to make the same cut in the same place a couple of times, the mat will not fall apart but will last longer!
I have also ct out simple shapes from my coluzzle on one of those resealable (?) healing mats. Works ok for straight cuts like the rectangle and squares.
So hope this tip helps some out there too!
