I would like to cut these sheets in half for short candles, is this good/bad idea?

These sheets are easily cut to any length that you desire for your finished candles

They are a bit flexible ----I would make a frame out of 1 x 4". I did this and covered with broadcloth from Hobbylobby. Looks great! You also don't want those little fibers drifting around with no covering.The perfect cutter is an electric carving knife.

I find that I can cut about 5 sheets of card stock cleanly before the edges start fraying instead of cleaving. I haven't attempted dividing up a sheet with the kind of accuracy you're describing. Sorry.

they're only being cut too thin if half of the picture is gone. you can never really cut these ¨too thin¨, but it's obviously possible to cut them too thick. I used an exacto-knife. It took a little while to get used to, but if you cut these on a cutting board in a downward pressing motion you can really get into the rhythm and cut them quicker.

I have not tried a half recipe yet but I plan to. I dont see why it wouldnt be fine as long as all the ingrediants are cut in half.

I've used them, and they are ok, cut them in half you dont need them to be that long. But i rather use bamboo skewers or the wilton candy sticks

Cutting them in half is no problem, but quartering maybe difficult. They can be easily crushed or ground with a cheap coffee grinder.

I cut these on my band saw, but you have to remember that there are spaces between each board and the bottom plastic frames are screwed on in several places, so sometimes you cut a piece and the piece you cut off comes apart into several pieces. You have to think about where you're cutting before cutting (also to make sure you're not cutting through one of the screws and ruin whatever blade you're cutting with). You could probably also cut with a hacksaw or scroll saw. You could cut the plastic section with a heavy duty type of scissors, but to cut the wood straight you'll need some kind of powered cutter. When cutting, I always laid the tile on the wood part. I never cut with the plastic side down, so sometimes you have to think backwards before cutting too. It's possible to cut, but not easy.

If you wanted to I'm sure you could cut them separately. I would recommend doing it while they are still in the protective paper; the backing is very sticky. Otherwise they come in six sections.

I would think that cutting them to a smaller size should not be a problem at all - you should still be able to peel the backing off.

you could probably cut these, but you would need some heavy duty/work scissors! good luck.

You probably could trim them to size, it would be fairly easy to cut with a pair of good kitchen shears. Seems like the original packaging said something about how to trim them, but I no longer have any of it.

If you cut one in half it won't be long enough to grab from both ends around your back. Cutting it will cause it to unravel.You can keep it folded while you use it, or scrunch it up and use it like a shower puff.

I didn't that little one---but i would be very careful what I trimmed off--& ?why do you need to cut some off?the ones I bought are 7" x 26" i wouldn't cut off more than 1 inch.

Just purchase the sheets from a hardware store and cut them into four sections with a pair of scissors. Just fold the sheets in half lengthwise and width-wise to get the four sections. This works perfectly if you are careful with the folding and cutting.

You would have to use a very light touch. They are not cut very deeply. I think you would have to experiment a bit.

Possibly. They aren't finished along the edges and there are two very sticky strips along the back that you have to unpeel....the carpeting isn't that thick. I guess you could try. Sorry I can't answer you for sure but I cannot see why not especially since there is no special finishing along the edges as it is. It's not like your going to spoil the pieces by cutting them. Good luck!
