Glass Fusing Template Maker

Printable cutting templates at true size — circles, diamonds, hexagons, moons, grids and more. Print at 100% and a 4 inch circle is 4 inches.

Shape

Draws a second, dashed outline that far outside the finished line — cut to the dashed line, grind back to the solid one.

Printing

Print templates

Set scale to 100% and turn off “fit to page” in the print dialog, or the template will not come out at true size. A check box prints on the first page so you can measure it before cutting anything.

What you get

    Preview

    Scaled to fit here. It prints at the size listed above.

    Getting a true-size print

    Browsers shrink pages to fit by default, which is fine for a receipt and useless for a template. Set the scale to 100% — in Chrome it is under “More settings”, in Safari it is the Scale field.

    Then measure the check box on the printed page before you cut. If it is not 50 mm across, nothing else on the page is right either.

    Paper stretches a little with humidity and printers are not perfect, so treat a printed template as accurate to about a millimetre. For anything that has to fit a mold exactly, check it against the mold itself.
