Templates for accurate tile cutting

Some shapes of cut are difficult to measure accurately.
Take a piece of paper or thin card and cut it out to the size of a tile.
Cut strips into the paper at 1/2" intervals to enable it to be contoured around the item.
Fold each strip back so that the paper tile fits perfectly and trim to the fold line.
Lay this template on the tile and mark. Then cut as for curved shapes .
