No, they are about that; 3-3.5". Just close ups. I find the tabloid size pots usually come out between 2.5-3", the bigger newspaper sheets come out 3"-4" (I've never actually measured, just eyeballing it)
I had order a little wooden pot maker one year, but when it came in, Hubby was enthralled, so he took it and made a lot of pots. He cut so many strips, that he has a bunch left, and I am still using pots this year that he made last year.
So I wound up with pots galore and no effort or additional expense. Good investment for me! LOL
