If you have multiple shapes that all need to be the same size(see above hinge plates), but are a bit uneven upon cutting out, you can glue them together (I use crazy glue or rubber cement), allow to set, and file them all to the same size along the edges. After edges are filed to your desire, you can just heat them up to burn off the glue (DO NOT breathe in fumes), and stick them in the pickle to clean. Good luck!

You can also glue precut squares together and pierce out the design in multiples. That seems to work pretty well for me. :-)
