Each miniature Paper Minis Cut
'n Glue Kit™ is individually printed to achieve an
unparalleled level of color and print quality on the finest
papers. The detail is so defined most people
don't believe that these are miniatures –
the signature thimble is placed in each photo as proof. The scale and
kit parts are tested and retested for perfect fit.
Most of the Paper Minis™ designs are so simple and
self-explanatory you won't need help. For designs that are a
little more involved written tutorials and many photo
tutorials can be found at the on-line tutorial library.
Note: sizes of
miniatures are given in millimeters for accuracy. For your
information 1"=25.4 mm

box (the box is partially lined). The spools are constructed to
give you some flexibility, you may leave as is with
fake thread or wind some real thread over the
spools. Note the authentic spool labels...art on the
