The Perfect Squares tool did not disappoint. I can leave my heavy 12x12 scoring board at home!Īfter our recent Perfect Layers Product Focus, I was excited to hear that we would try another tool from Perfect Paper Crafting. But the best, and my favorite part, of the Perfect Squares tool is that I only need to grab this tool for crops. This tool is so easy to store and pull out at a moment's need, and that really appeals to me since I don't have much crafting space. I didn't even have to lug out my scoring board, like I usually need to do. I didn't think it would let me score deeply enough, but it did an impressive job. I also used tool as a guide to emboss a folding line on my cards, and it was a breeze. That little detail sets it a part from anything else, and I appreciate the help keeping my lines straight. ![]() But, what makes this tool so special, is the little "lip" that holds your paper perfectly even and in place with ease. When I opened the Perfect Squares tool for the first time, I used my craft knife to cut along the edge guide, and it cut like a dream with out "skipping" like many rulers do. But oh, I wish I had it back when I started to scrapbook! I love it, and it's so easy to store and use. I confess, I had never heard of the Perfect Squares tool before receiving it to try. Perfect Squares is the Perfect Tool For You! Perfect Squares can be used for a quick fix: find one straight edge, and even it all out in a matter of seconds!ĥ) Bonus! The circles on the inside of the square are designed for different hand positions, to hold paper in place while using the tool but you can also use the circles as templates, to round the edge of an image, or to draw circles of three different sizes!
