How to Make Paper Hinges

Gothic Wrought Iron Hinges - Free Cricut Maker Miniature Project Tiny Hinges are expensive and most still end up looking too thick for most miniature or scale model projects... I’ve been pondering this problem for quite some time, and just KNEW that The Cricut Maker could be used to solve this issue, AND to make it possible for use to crank out multiple hinges whenever needed. After LOTS of prototyping, this preliminary design is complete and ready to share with the world! Note: Be sure to pick up the inexpensive Quilling Tool listed below: it will make the difference between success and frustration, I assure you.
