Step 2Snap your blade

snap your blade
Grab your hobby knife and extend out the blade exposing a few sections. I measured off 2 section with a total length of about 1cm (1/4"), depending on the desired size of your cutter and the type of knife you use yours may look different. The size of the cutting blade will dictate how large your device will be.

Once the blade is extended to the desired length lock the blade in place (seriously, lock that bad-boy down). Place a small piece of masking tape over the exposed blade and press down on an angle on the exposed portion. If done correctly the blade should snap along the scribe, the masking tape prevents the snapped blade from flying out and stabbing you in the face (because we've all been there).
