Fiskars Hearts Shape Template is a sheet that is made of a thick sturdy plastic. It is orange in colour and its transparent so you can see through onto the surface below. There is a grid on the plastic sheet with squares which measure 1.25 cms x 1.25 cms. The template itself measures 21.2 cms x 27.5 cms. It has hole punch holes down the left hand side of the template which would enable it to be secured or stored in an A4 binder - which is where I keep mine.

I predominantly bought this template for my ten year old daughter to use as she is very much into arts and crafts and recently she has been making cards to sell to her friends at school (ten years old and already an entrepreneur!) I've helped her to make her cards and these templates ensure that key shapes i.e. hearts in this case, are symmetrical and smooth. The results look very professional.

She uses a craft knife (with supervision) and a craft mat to cut out the shapes which ensure the edges are smooth and sharp. The template has remained undamaged and unchipped despite being used fairly constantly for four months.

I purchased this template as part of a park with 3 other templates and a craft knife cutter from Amazon for £20.

I would recommend this for anyone who needs a template for arts and craft purposes and its a good idea to buy this as a set as its more economical that way as I think the single sheets are around £4.50.
