Collect Materials
An easy and cheap way to get some sturdy ATC blanks is to cut up clean product packaging. Save them from being thrown away and process them to be used!
2
Processing
Product packaging will need to be pulled apart (or cut apart) so that it can be laid flat. Cut off the flaps while keeping the largest pieces to be cut into 2.5"x3.5" sized cards.

Measuring
We used our handy ATC Acrylic Size Guide to help measure and cut our blanks! We sell them in our store [here]. Feel free to make a size guide of your own at home from some sturdy material!

Experiment
Try a wide range of materials to see what you like working with. We typically have a pile of recycled materials that collects for a week or two and then processed at once. It's a lot of fun to see what you can try out!
