So there's a couple of different ways you can make the cuts in your luminary. You can do them freehand or you can use a drawn design. I've got a couple pieces of paper here with a couple of my favorite designs and I just printed them out on my printer. I've saved the image on my computer so that once this paper gets ruined, I can use it again. You can draw your own image, whatever you need to do. But once you've gotten the image that you like, you can hold it up against the pot and take a tool with a rounded edge. It can be a ballpoint pen, even. It doesn't even have to be a tool like this. And just trace that design over the paper on to the clay. And it'll leave a really small indentation to give you a guide as to where you're going to cut. In this particular item, I only traced the top half because I do the bottom half freehand. So you can see there's little indentions and that's going to help me with cutting this form.
