If you only want one, you would be cheapest cutting it from sheet with a saw.

Sorry misread post and thought you were just looking for a heart disc as in the title

There are quite a few heart cutters on the market, I see Cookson are selling a new Durston I think but none of them are cheap

The biggest problem with making your own is to draw a symmetrical pattern, to glue on with Pritt and cut around.

An easy way is to fold thin paper in half and using the crease as your mid line, draw a number of half hearts against it. Then trace that though to complete the other half.

As all your finished shapes will end up different, you will have a choice of patterns. It helps to have a photocopier to produce multiples. Dennis.

Just an idea, if you want to mark and pierce small heart shapes, you can buy heart shape stencils on Amazon, they have many sizes but this is one that offers quite a selection of sizes. They are plastic stencils and if you use a fine scriber you can mark straight onto sheet for piercing. See; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stencil-Jewe...shape+stencils

Thank u guys.I have the round dics cutter and finding it very easy to make pendant,so i decided to get the heart disc cutter but found out how expensive they are.The stencil is a good idea and cheapest option..

For one-offs, then pierce one from sheet as the others have said. For multiples, and for consistent sizes then forking out for the specific heart shape disc cutter is the best option Id say.

For simple shapes I Google "line drawing of" and grab the image I want, drop it into PowerPoint or anything that allows me to change the size, and then print. Once printed, I cut and glue to sheet ready for sawing. Same technique any copyright free photo where I want the outline.

If you have a laser printer you can do the above then simply press the image face down on the metal and wipe over the back with acetone to transfer the image

Cooksons sell the Swanstrom heart shaped disc cutter. Checkout my video demonstration and review of it the quality is superb.

They now also sell another "artisan heart shape disc cutter" which is considerably cheaper.
