PCA OctTool
This new tool is really different and exciting!
It is an 8 needle tool with BOLD gauge needles set in almost a full circle. Of course it can be used alone for decorative effects but it really excels when used with a regular mesh grid in the creation of the ever popular grid pattern shown in the above sample and many more.
What took 8 separate perforations and was so easy to miscount and ruin your project, now takes 8 times less time and effort to do! Your perforations will always be perfectly neat and straight too.
Try cutting the bonds between each perforation for a great star shape that looks terrific in lattice like grid repetition patterns.
Make a slight twist left and right as you perforate (not in a grid!) and you will see a resulting full circle, perfect for flower centres or general decorative purposes.
I have shown the OctTool perforation samples above in tandem with impressions left by our Large SunTool to show the size. It looks very pretty with SunTool impressions in between each OctTool group anyway!
Emboss in between the OctTool perforations ... with a dot or maybe a criss cross of embossed lines to complete the lattice effect if you cut each one's centre out. Try using our PCA Scriber for that action.
Lovely lattice work.. easy to achieve!
