    Much easier than the one I looked at on google images using a compass and ruler, etc. I like your method much better. Thanks for the posting.

    line up ruler and cut from edge to edge

    open up and there ya go!!! Make bigger or smaller by adding or subtracting from each side after you cut it...just use your ruler and cutter...

    Thank you for the octagon pattern BUT you have an outstanding sense of design and color combination, etc. Wish you could share that talent with me.

    Hi Piecemaker, Great idea but aren't the templates used for the flower garden 6 sided? This is for an 8 sided template.
