4 photo mats from one 12 x 12 - where are the instructions?

I should have bookmarked them but now I can't find them ... NEE's shown me how but I can't figure it out tonight. Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!

I don't know where they are but you cut the paper like a pinwheel design.
Cut a mat from the upper right corner; spin paper clockwise to next side; cut mat (same size/direction as 1st); spin again.....

Here is what I do..
If I want 4- 4.5 x 6.5 mats
1. I cut the 12 x 12 sheet down to 11 x 11
2. put the edge of the sheet to measure 4.5... cut down to 6.5
3. turn the page 1/4.. edge of sheet to 4.5... cut down to 6.5 (this will cut one mat.
4. turn the page 1/4 again... measure to 4.5... cut down to 6.5
you will have 4 mats and one small little box...

For 4.25 x 6.25 mats... do the same thing but cut the 12 x 12 paper down to 10.5 x 10.5 to start..

This is just how I do it.. it eliminated me having the pinwheel shape and I could use those strips for borders and such later..

Hope that helps..even though it's much later than you probably needed the info...

There's a way to get four 5x7 pieces out of one 12x12 sheet too...I'm off to Google, JIC you still need it.

Interesting! This would save a lot of paper. I usually use the left over block for journaling. Thanks for the info.
